The area around the Seattle Convention Center–Summit contains numerous hotels and is connected to transit corridors, creating a wealth of options for travelers. Seattle Worldcon 2025 is contracting for a room block with five hotels, all within a five-block radius of the convention center, with no steep slopes. Links to book rooms will be posted on this page when they open, so watch for announcements.
Headquarters Hotel
The Sheraton Grand Seattle is the headquarters hotel for the Seattle Worldcon. The Sheraton will host evening convention activities after daily events wind down at the convention center, such as a member lounge, dances, open gaming, filking, participatory activities, and more. The Sheraton Grand is also designated as the official hotel for room parties, and will have 30 hospitality suites available for hosted evening events. Evening events at the Sheraton Grand, including open-invitation room parties, will be open to all convention members regardless of whether they are staying in the hotel.

The Sheraton Grand Seattle is the headquarters hotel for the Seattle Worldcon.

Other Accommodations
Seattle is a popular tourist destination, and staying downtown in summertime is expensive, in part due to competition with cruise industry travelers. We don’t want cost to be a barrier! Seattle is home to several hostels, such as the Green Tortoise Hostel, which typically have rates below $100. The convention center is four blocks from the Link light rail at Westlake Station, connecting pedestrians to SeaTac Airport area hotels to the south, and Northgate and University District options to the north. A proximity search in each location will reveal reasonable cost options, and this just scratches the surface of deals which a budget-conscious traveler may find. If staying in Seattle still feels out of reach, be aware that it is typical for Worldcons to establish fan funds to defray travel expenses for individuals who would otherwise be unable to attend.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What if the room type I want does not show as available?
Many reservation systems only display the room types which are included in the room block for all of the nights selected. The shoulder days may have fewer rooms of different types included in the room block, even if those rooms are available at the hotel. You may be able to discover different room types by varying your selected dates. If the desired room type does not appear to be available during your full stay, contact the hotel and ask if you can extend your stay in the room type for additional days for the convention rate and include the entire stay within the room block.
Will there be taxes and fees added to my reservation?
Seattle has a 15.7% hotel tax, and a 2.3% Tourism Improvement Area Tax, which will be added to your hotel fee. We have been informed that the three Hyatt properties, and perhaps the Sheraton Grand, are currently adding a mandatory $25 destination fee to reservations, which is a matter we are currently looking into.
Do the rooms include any non-refundable fees or deposits?
There are no required deposits. Cancellation is required at least 48 hours in advance to avoid imposition of a one-night fee.
