Redmond, Washington, home of the Microsoft campus, is a growing tech hub east of Seattle attracting a steady influx of suburban visitors and busy traveling tech workers. In response to these diverse guests, the owner asked Ankrom Moisan to design a dual brand hotel, a concept new to the hospitality industry at the time. The Element side is an extended-stay hotel known for health and wellness in comfortable suites. Muted, natural earth tones, and soft, warm materials bring a feeling of calm as guests overlook the neighborhood's central park. With one managing group for both hotels, shared building systems and back-of-house functions promote operating efficiency along with a harmonious landscaped central courtyard, shared pool, gym, and meeting center.
