Located in the vibrant and historic Pioneer Square district of Seattle, the Citizenm Pioneer Square hotel offers a contemporary lodging experience within a storied neighborhood. This newly constructed 10-story hotel, spanning 70,000 square feet and featuring 216 rooms, seamlessly blends modern design with the historical context of its surroundings. Its brick and glass façade pays homage to the architectural character of Pioneer Square, creating a harmonious dialogue between the past and present.
The hotel’s foundation is built upon robust engineering, utilizing concrete PT decks for the lower levels and structural studs for the upper floors. It rests on a solid mat foundation, supported by 25 substantial 48-inch diameter piles extending 50 to 60 feet deep, ensuring stability and longevity.

citizenM Pioneer Square distinguishes itself by its commitment to integrating art into the guest experience. Reflecting citizenM’s global art-centric philosophy, the Seattle location features a significant mosaic art installation commissioned from a local artist. This artwork, carefully chosen by citizenM’s selection committee, is prominently displayed, adding a unique cultural dimension to the hotel. Composed of over 5,000 individual 6×6-inch porcelain tiles, the mosaic artfully incorporates elements of Seattle’s and Pioneer Square’s rich history. The design evokes the intricate patterns of indigenous beadwork and storytelling traditions, transforming them into a large-scale visual narrative for all to appreciate.

While rooms are efficiently sized at 160 square feet, roughly the width of a king-size bed, they are meticulously designed to meet high luxury brand standards and are equipped with cutting-edge technology. Each room features a personal tablet that acts as a central control hub, managing everything from lighting and temperature to entertainment and window shades.
