Urban Villages, a leading real estate developer and environmental steward, is pleased to announce the summer 2024 opening of Hotel Westland, a carbon positive, adaptive reuse hotel in Seattle’s historic Pioneer Square neighborhood. Construction recently began on the 120-room hotel to modernize the historic structure, giving it a second life and ensuring it lasts for generations to come. Operated by Aparium Hotel Group and architecturally designed by The Miller Hull Partnership with interiors by Curioso, the boutique lifestyle hotel will highlight historic character maintained from the building’s 1907 construction, modern guest rooms and amenities, Pioneer Square’s first rooftop bar, and a signature restaurant, fueled by an authentic connection to community and Seattle’s deep-rooted history.

Hotel Westland is a part of RailSpur, a carbon positive micro-district that is positioned to be one of the country’s most significant adaptive reuse developments, which consists of three main historic buildings and the activated alleyways that connect them.

Adaptive Reuse and A Commitment to Carbon Positivity Urban Villages introduces Hotel Westland – and the entire RailSpur micro-district – as carbon positive following the company’s announcement of Populus, opening in Denver in summer 2024, as the first carbon positive hotel in the United States. With Hotel Westland, Urban Villages is focused on reducing negative effects on the environment through adaptive reuse, energy efficiency, offsite ecological efforts, and renewable energy procurement.
