PROVENANCE HOTELS AND NBP CAPITAL PARTNER TO PURCHASE SEATTLE’S ROOSEVELT HOTEL
Announce plans to refresh and rebrand historic 151 room Seattle hotel.
February 17, 2015 – Seattle, Wash. – Provenance Hotels, owner and operator of award-winning
independent lifestyle hotels, has partnered with NBP Capital, a privately held investment real estate
fund, to purchase the Roosevelt Hotel in Seattle from North Coast Washington, LLC which, in
partnership with Provenance Hotels, had owned the property since 1985. The property will continue to
be affiliated with Coast Hotels for the next 60 days until Provenance Hotels assumes management.
Provenance Hotels and NBP Capital are both headquartered in Portland, Ore. and equal partners in the
acquisition. They plan to install a marquee restaurant tenant and bring the iconic hotel property back to
its original prominence.
Opened in 1930, the 151 room Roosevelt Hotel is located at the intersection of 7th Avenue and Pine
Street in downtown Seattle, across the street from the Washington State Convention Center, steps from
the central business district, in the heart of the retail core, just a few blocks from Pike Place Market and
the waterfront. The acquisition of the Roosevelt Hotel is the second joint acquisition for NBP Capital and
Provenance Hotels in two weeks. Earlier this month, they announced their purchase of the historic
Woodlark and Cornelius buildings in downtown Portland, Ore. and intent to launch an adaptive reuse
project that will renovate the properties into a 150 room hotel.
"We're delighted to deepen and strengthen our partnership with Provenance Hotels, an owner and
operator with an unimpeachable track record in the lifestyle space and expert knowledge of the Seattle
market," said Lauren Noecker Robert, Managing Member of NBP Capital.
“With their history of savvy investment and our shared vision, partnering with NBP Capital to return the
Roosevelt Hotel to its rightful place among Seattle’s top hotels is a natural. We have been and continue
to be bullish on the Seattle market and we are confident we can lead the Roosevelt to success in the
dynamic downtown environment,” said Gordon Sondland, Founder and CEO of Provenance Hotels.
“Sentinel, which we opened last year, has become Portland’s living room – a place where locals and
visitors gather and mingle. We aim to create the same experience at the Roosevelt,” added Bashar Wali,
Principal and President of Provenance Hotels. “Our first order of business is to bring a restaurant to the
space that the city can be proud of – much like we did around the corner with Miller’s Guild at Hotel
Max. As with all our hotels, we also plan to incorporate an art component and curate local products to
make the Roosevelt truly a Provenance experience that channels the best Seattle has to offer.”
When completed, the project will join Hotel Max and Hotel 1000 as Provenance Hotels’ third owned and
operated hotel in Seattle. The company also owns and manages Portland’s Hotel Lucia, Hotel deLuxe
and Sentinel as well as Hotel Murano in Tacoma, Wash. and Hotel Preston in Nashville, Tenn.
Provenance Hotels is slated to open the Old No. 77 Hotel & Chandlery New Orleans in spring 2015 and is
developing a hotel in the Woodlark and Cornelius buildings in Portland with NBP Capital. In addition
Provenance Hotels owns the Westin Portland and Paramount Hotel in Seattle.

PROVENANCE HOTELS’ NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION: FREE WI-FI IN 2015
Art-filled lifestyle hotels in Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, Nashville and New Orleans will
Eliminate Wi-Fi Fees for Overnight Guests on January 1, 2015.
Portland, Ore., Dec. 29, 2014 – With the New Year just around the corner, Provenance Hotels
has resolved to make working remotely and keeping in touch even easier – and less expensive –
in 2015 by eliminating Wi-Fi fees for overnight guests at Hotel Max in Seattle, Hotel Murano in
Tacoma, Portland’s Hotel Lucia, Hotel deLuxe and Sentinel, and Hotel Preston in Nashville.
Over the course of the past year, Provenance Hotels has invested hundreds of thousands of
dollars in upgrading the Wi-Fi experience at the company’s hotels with fiber optic internet to
increase bandwidth, speed and capacity. On January 1, 2015, the company will cease charging
for Wi-Fi at all its hotels so interfacing with the office and surfing the web from the comfort of a
Provenance Hotels guest room will not only be fast and efficient – it will be free, too.
“Internet access is an essential amenity and we’ve long been focused on providing the fastest,
most reliable service available to our guests,” said Bashar Wali, President of Provenance Hotels.
“Making it available free of charge is the natural next step in our commitment to keeping
travelers who stay at our hotels connected.”
Seattle’s Hotel 1000, which already provides guests with free Wi-Fi, joined the Provenance
Hotels family in July 2014. Wi-Fi will also be free at the company’s Old No. 77 Hotel &
Chandlery, which is slated to open in the heart of New Orleans’ Arts District in spring 2015.
