The Beatles at The Edgewater
60 Years with The Beatles
In 1964, during their first world tour, The Beatles stayed at The Edgewater Hotel, newly completed for the World’s Fair. At the time, no other hotel in the city would accept The Beatles as guests; however The Edgewater happily welcomed them.
Beatlemania so consumed Seattle that The Edgewater had to install cyclone fencing around the hotel to keep the screaming fans at bay. Some fans even tried swimming across Elliott Bay to reach the Fab Four. After their concert, The Beatles were rushed back to the hotel in an ambulance, while taxi cabs and stand-ins were used as decoys. During their stay, the band famously fished from the window their suite, the photo of which has become legendary.

When celebrating romance, love is all you need. But The Edgewater adds the perfect touches with cozy fireplaces, stunning views and delicious cuisine. Enjoy an evening inspired by the love and charm of The Beatles, who once graced our iconic getaway.
60 years ago, in February 1964, Pan Am Yankee Clipper flight 101 from London Heathrow landed in New York, marking the arrival of “Beatlemania” in America as the Beatles launched the U.S. leg of their world tour. That August, The Beatles stayed at The Edgewater Inn, the only hotel in Seattle willing to host them. During their stay, they famously fished from the window of their suite, a moment captured in a legendary photo. The Edgewater is thrilled to celebrate this memorable anniversary with our own Fab Four’s World Tour.
