W Bellevue in Downtown Bellevue.
The Bellevue Collection’s lifestyle hotel: 245 rooms and suites in the base of Lincoln Square South, a lake-house lobby with A-frame beams, and the Lakehouse and Civility & Unrest downstairs.
W Bellevue is the Bellevue Collection’s lifestyle hotel, and the one that reads least like a hotel from the sidewalk: it fills the lower floors of the 41-story north tower of Lincoln Square South at Bellevue Way and NE 5th Place, with offices and residences stacked above and the Collection’s shopping and sky bridges wrapped around it. Marriott bills it as a modern luxury hotel, and the 245 rooms and suites are built around a lake-house idea — exposed A-frame beams in the Living Room, a reclaimed-wood grand staircase, Lake Washington visible from select rooms and suites. It is the downtown hotel for people who want the bar downstairs to be the point: The Lakehouse, Chef Jason Wilson’s restaurant, and the Civility & Unrest speakeasy both live in the building, and the Living Room Bar and The Porch turn into a DJ room on Friday and Saturday nights.
DBN followed the building from Kemper Development’s March 2015 tease of the hotel brand for the Lincoln Square expansion through the opening tour on June 15, 2017, when W Hotels called it the brand’s first new-build hotel in North America in seven years and we walked all 30 photos’ worth of it, penthouse included. Since then the coverage has mostly been about the food and drink: an In the Kitchen visit to the Lakehouse in 2018, the Lakehouse and Civility & Unrest reopening after the pandemic closure in 2021, Halloween nights at the Living Room Bar, and the steady run of Bellevue Collection stay-and-shop packages the hotel anchors each season.
Against its neighbors it is the mood play: smaller and louder than the Hyatt, hipper than The Westin across NE 6th, and the closest thing to the InterContinental’s luxury tier inside the Collection itself — the comparison is spelled out in our guide to downtown Bellevue hotels.
Rooms & Amenities at W Bellevue
245 rooms and suites over the lower floors of the tower; these are the room classes and the reasons to stay.
Cozy, Standard, Deluxe & Superior Rooms
The room ladder runs Cozy to Standard to Deluxe, with Superior rooms on the high floors; Lake Washington shows up from select rooms and suites, so ask.
Urban Suite & Supreme Suite
The two suite tiers below the penthouses, for the stay that wants a living room and a lake view to go with it.
Penthouse I
2,302 square feet, bookable through the hotel directly; DBN’s 2017 tour called the top suite like no other penthouse in the Seattle region. Penthouse II sits just below.
Living Room Bar & The Porch
The lobby is the hotel’s idea of a lake house: exposed A-frame beams, a reclaimed-wood staircase, a fireplace lounge that turns into a DJ room on Friday and Saturday nights, and The Porch off the side.
The Lakehouse & Civility & Unrest
Chef Jason Wilson’s Lakehouse and the Civility & Unrest speakeasy are the reasons locals come into the building even without a room key; the FIT gym with Peloton bikes and boxing bags is the reason guests skip the drive to a club.

Getting There & When to Go
Lincoln Square South is the easiest corner of the Collection to reach, and the hotel shares its garage.
Getting There & Parking
- Drive: Lincoln Square South garage, for a fee; self-parking and valet are both available and overnight self-parking is complimentary on Friday and Saturday. EV charging is on site, subject to availability. Bellevue Square’s free garages are across Bellevue Way by sky bridge if you are only visiting the Lakehouse.
- Light rail: 2 Line to Bellevue Downtown Station, then a roughly 12-minute walk west along NE 6th to Bellevue Way — see our light rail guide
- On foot: The address is 10455 NE 5th Place, off Bellevue Way. From Bellevue Square, cross Bellevue Way at NE 6th or take the sky bridge into Lincoln Square; from The Westin, the sky bridge over NE 6th lands you in the same complex.
Best Times to Go
Friday and Saturday nights are the loud ones: the DJ is on in the Living Room, Civility & Unrest fills up, and the free overnight self-parking brings in the shopping crowd. Midweek is calm and business-heavy. December is the peak, when Snowflake Lane runs down Bellevue Way outside and holiday packages go early; late winter and early spring are the easy windows for a deal.
What’s Nearby
You are inside Lincoln Square South, so the neighbors are downstairs: Fogo de Chão on the ground floor for the churrasco night, Japonessa a few doors down for sushi, or Wild Ginger on the Bellevue Way side of the building.
