Hotel Ändra is a stylish 123 guestroom boutique luxury hotel ideally located in the heart of downtown Seattle. Nestled between popular South Lake Union and Belltown next to the retail core, this surrounding downtown area is thriving with food, music, art and history. Within walking distance of famous Pike Place Market, Seattle Center and the Space Needle, Hotel Ändra provides a sophisticated urban escape with first-class luxury hotel offerings.

Background

“Ändra” means “change” in Swedish, and changed is what we are. Now one of the premier luxury hotels in downtown Seattle, the building first opened in 1926 as efficiency apartments and became a transfer station for members of the Women’s Army Corps from late 1945 through 1947. In the 1970s, the building was restored to become a small boutique hotel, and was thoroughly re-created to become Hotel Ändra in April 2004. In January 2022 Hotel Ändra completed a $12 million dollars renovation.

Team Umlaut

What’s in a name? For us, a lot. An umlaut is a marking used over vowels to denote a different sound, changing a word completely. We liken ourselves to the umlaut and strive to embody this philosophy. As Team Umlaut, we take what could be an ordinary stay and add the Ändra spirit of hospitality to create the ultimate guest experience.
