Celebrate The Beatles’ 60th Anniversary at Seattle’s Iconic Edgewater Hotel

In the summer of 1964, amidst the frenzy of “Beatlemania,” The Beatles made a memorable stop in Seattle as part of their first American tour. Over 14,000 fans packed the Coliseum (now Climate Pledge Arena) to see the “Fab Four” perform, with tickets priced at just $5. During their visit, the band stayed at The Edgewater Hotel, a waterfront property that had recently opened for the 1962 World’s Fair. Their iconic fishing photo—taken from their suite with fishing poles cast out over Elliott Bay—helped cement the hotel’s place in music history.

To mark the 60th anniversary of The Beatles’ legendary stay on August 21, 1964, The Edgewater is offering a special “Can’t Buy Me Love” package through December 31. This exclusive offer includes Beatles-themed merchandise, a $60 food and beverage credit, and free parking. Guests can also book The Beatles Suite, the very room where the band stayed. While fishing from the window is no longer an option, the suite offers panoramic views of Elliott Bay and features Beatles memorabilia, portraits, and artwork.

For a truly immersive experience, the hotel provides complimentary two-hour rentals of Orangewood guitars and vinyl records for guests to enjoy in the suite. The Edgewater also has a dedicated “Band Entrance” for a discreet arrival and displays historic black-and-white photos of its famous past guests.

In addition to The Beatles Suite, The Edgewater offers other themed accommodations, including a Pearl Jam suite. All rooms feature cozy gas fireplaces and elegant Pacific Northwest decor. Guests can dine at Six Seven, the on-site restaurant with stunning water views and a menu inspired by the hotel’s coastal location. For breakfast, The Brim Coffee Shop offers lattes and pastries along with vintage band shirts.

Conveniently located near the Bell Street Pier Cruise Terminal and a short ride from the Smith Cove Cruise Terminal, The Edgewater is an ideal choice for those embarking on an Alaska cruise. It’s also within walking distance of Seattle’s top attractions, including Pike Place Market and the Seattle Aquarium. For added convenience, the hotel offers free two-hour cruiser bike rentals.

The Edgewater’s unique blend of historic charm and modern amenities makes it a perfect destination for music fans and travelers alike.
