PROVENANCE HOTELS AND THAYER LODGING GROUP PARTNER TO
ACQUIRE HOTEL 1000 IN SEATTLE
June 23, 2014 – SEATTLE, Wash. – Provenance Hotels, a hotel owner and operator based in Portland,
Ore., and Thayer Lodging Group, a privately held hotel real estate investment company based in
Annapolis, Md., have partnered to acquire the 120-room Hotel 1000 in downtown Seattle. Provenance
will operate the Forbes Four Star-rated Hotel 1000, adding it to a portfolio of owned and managed
assets that includes the Forbes Four Star-rated Hotel Murano in Tacoma, Wash. With the addition of
Hotel 1000 to its collection, Provenance Hotels now operates two of the five Four Star rated hotels in
Washington. Four Stars is the highest rating any hotels in the state have earned from Forbes Travel
Guide, the gold standard for hospitality excellence.
The purchase of Hotel 1000 is the first joint venture between Provenance Hotels and Thayer Lodging
Group and the third acquisition made by Thayer with their $300 million Thayer Fund VI. Since forming its
first private equity fund more than two decades ago, Thayer has completed 44 hotel investments with a
total acquisition value of approximately $2.7 billion. The firm has consistently exceeded the objectives of
institutional investors by focusing on increasing market share, effectively managing channels of
distribution, and making impactful changes to the hotel's offerings, services and amenities.
Bruce Wiles, Chief Operating Officer of Thayer Lodging Group, said "We are thrilled to announce this
partnership with Provenance Hotels to acquire Seattle’s Hotel 1000. Provenance’s stellar track record in
the lifestyle space, deep knowledge of the Seattle market and experience as owners makes their
management approach ideally suited to our investment strategy.” Wiles went on to say “Like our other
recent marquee acquisitions, the Ritz-Carlton San Francisco and Hilton Los Cabos Beach & Golf Resort,
Hotel 1000 is a distinctive asset with opportunity for improved performance that makes it ideal for
deployment of Thayer’s Fund VI."
“Given our shared vision for the future of this one-of-a-kind asset, Thayer’s consistent history of
investment success and the experience they bring to the project, we couldn’t be more excited about this
new venture. We are looking forward to continuing to raise the bar on the already outstanding guest
experience at Hotel 1000. We are confident this is the first of many deals to come with Thayer.” said
Bashar Wali, President of Provenance Hotels.
Hotel 1000 is the 14th hotel in Provenance Hotels’ portfolio, the seventh under their management and
the most recent acquisition in a two year period of sustained growth. Provenance partnered with
Woodbine Development Corporation/Hunt Realty of Dallas, Texas in 2012 to purchase the Governor
Hotel in Portland. In 2013, the company acquired the Ambassador Hotel in New Orleans, La. in
partnership with GB Lodging of New York, N.Y. and partnered with Bolour & Associates of Beverly Hills,
Calif. to purchase an oceanfront parcel in Hermosa Beach, Calif. that is slated for development into a
luxury boutique hotel. In March 2014, Provenance and Woodbine unveiled a major renovation of the
Governor Hotel, rebranding and repositioning the property as Sentinel. Renovation, rebranding and
repositioning of the Ambassador Hotel is scheduled for completion in early 2015.
Provenance Hotels’ Chief Executive Officer Gordon Sondland added “We have been fortunate to partner
with some of the savviest firms in the business and are excited to continue our expansion nationally.”
Hotel 1000 opened in June 2006 and features 120 luxury guest rooms, 9,100 sq. ft. of conference and
event space, a 100-seat restaurant, spa and state-of-the-art golf simulator. Located at the intersection of
1000 First Avenue and Madison Street, 14-floor hotel is topped by ten floors of upscale condominiums
in a building that is ideally located steps from the waterfront along Elliott Bay, and conveniently
centered between Pike Place Market, Seattle Art Museum, the business district and historic Pioneer
Square.

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.

PROVENANCE HOTELS REV UP GREEN TRAVEL WITH ZIPCAR AND TESLA
Guests in Portland, Seattle and Tacoma save on car sharing and charge electric cars for free.
November 11, 2014 – Portland, Ore. – Provenance Hotels, with six locations in Washington and Oregon,
is raising the bar on sustainable travel by partnering with the experts in car sharing services and electric
vehicle technology – Zipcar and Tesla Motors – to make it even easier and more affordable for guests to
use alternative transportation when visiting the eco-conscious cities of Portland, Seattle and Tacoma.
Provenance Hotels’ art-filled hotels are conveniently located downtown within steps of each city’s light
rail routes, making them the perfect getaways for those who want to go car free. When guests who are
Zipcar members need or want to venture further, Zipcar, the world’s leading car sharing network, is a
cost-effective and sustainable membership based option for exploring with plenty of vehicles
conveniently parked close to hotels. To incentivize guests to try car sharing by becoming new Zipcar
members, Zipcar and Provenance Hotels have partnered to offer $50 in free driving credit when
travelers sign up for Zipcar’s Occasional Driving Plan or a Monthly Rate Plan of $6/month. Guests who
are already Zipcar members can enjoy $15 in free driving. For more information please visit,
www.zipcar.com/provenancehotels.
Two new Zipcars – a BMW X1 and a Cadillac ATS – have checked in at Hotel deLuxe. Parked in the hotel’s
lot, they are available for Zipcar members to use 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Reservations can be
made easily and quickly via the Zipcar app on members’ smartphones, online or by phone. Zipcar
discounts for guests of Provenance Hotels can be accessed through the hotels’ websites and links
included in guest reservation confirmations. Guests signing up for Zipcar must apply online for
membership prior to their stay and have their Zipcard on hand for their reservation.
For those who prefer to bring along their own eco-friendly electric vehicles, Provenance Hotels has
partnered with Tesla, the world leader in electric vehicle technology, to install two Tesla high power
connectors and one standard electric vehicle charger in each of the parking garages at Hotel Max in
Seattle, Hotel Murano in Tacoma and Hotel deLuxe in Portland. These EV and Tesla charging stations are
available to both hotel guests and for public use with no extra charge beyond standard parking fees.
Tesla owners can easily locate these chargers using the Tesla navigation app on their smartphone phone
or in-car display. Tesla charging stations will also be added to Hotel 1000 in Seattle in the near future.
