Location Description:Hotel Theodore first opened its doors in 1930 as the Roosevelt Hotel, named in honor of Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th U.S. president, who had visited Seattle in 1903. From the outset, the hotel embodied the city’s pioneering spirit. Designed by the renowned architect John Graham Sr., whose firm was behind some of Seattle’s most iconic buildings—including the Seattle Exchange Building, the Frederick & Nelson department store (now the downtown Nordstrom), and, under the direction of his son, the Space Needle—the Roosevelt Hotel reflects Graham's distinctive modernist Art Deco style.
At 18 stories, the Roosevelt stood as Seattle’s tallest hotel for many years, offering 234 rooms and a lobby that was richly appointed in the elegant French modern style. Unlike the traditional hotels of the era that primarily catered to long-term residents, the Roosevelt Hotel distinguished itself as a destination for travelers, setting a new standard for hospitality in Seattle, then and today.
