Relive 1960s ‘Beatlemania’ at the Edgewater Hotel in Seattle.
In the summer of 1964, at the height of "Beatlemania," The Beatles traveled to Seattle as part of their first American tour. More than 14,000 screaming fans watched the "Fab Four" perform live at the Coliseum (today called Climate Pledge Arena), paying just $5 apiece for tickets to the sold out show. While visiting the Emerald City, the band checked into The Edgewater Hotel, which had opened two years earlier for the 1962 World's Fair.
During their stay at the waterfront property, the bandmates famously fished out the window of their suite, dangling their fishing poles over the waters of Elliott Bay to see what they could catch.
Photos from that moment became instantly iconic and helped put The Edgewater on the map, especially in the music industry.
After that, the hotel became the place to stay for big-name musicians visiting Seattle, including Led Zeppelin, Elvis Presely, The Rolling Stones, Steve Wonder, Ray Charles, The Supremes, Willie Nelson, Rod Stewart and many others.
The Edgewater is celebrating the 60th anniversary of The Beatles' legendary visit, which took place on Aug. 21, 1964.
To commemorate this important milestone, the hotel is offering a special "Can't Buy Me Love" package from now through Dec. 31, which includes Beatles swag, a food and beverage credit and free parking.
Guests can also relive the moptop magic any time by booking The Beatles suite, the exact same room the band stayed in six decades ago. You can't fish from the window (times have changed), but you can admire the panoramic views of Elliott Bay while listening to "Yesterday" and "Yellow Submarine" on the in-room, state-of-the-art stereo system.
