Stay at a Downtown Seattle Hotel in February and Make Your Winter Getaway One to Remember
From February 1-28, 2019, downtown Seattle hotel guests receive 50 percent off admission prices to participating museums and cultural institutions during the fifth annual Seattle Museum Month. Since its launch in 2015, Seattle Museum Month has established itself as the perfect winter retreat for all ages to experience Seattle’s heritage and its one-of-a-kind museums. To see the full list of participating museums, visit the Seattle Museum Month website at seattlemuseummonth.com.
“We look forward to the visitors that come to Seattle each February to explore all that Seattle Museum Month has to offer,” said Lindsay Sandomirsky, Director of Sales & Marketing at the Sheraton Grand Seattle. “The month offers an incredible opportunity to explore the city in new ways while saving substantially on admissions at so many outstanding and world renowned venues. With original works of art throughout our hotel, we are committed to celebrating artists of the Pacific Northwest and Museum Month is something we encourage all of our visitors to take advantage of. Seattle Museum Month truly is a compelling benefit when traveling to the city during this time.”
The Glasshouse is the centerpiece of Chihuly Garden and Glass. It is the result of Pacific Northwest-born and world-renowned artist Dale Chihuly’s lifelong appreciation for conservatories, plus features one of his largest suspended sculptures. Photo courtesy of Chihuly Garden and Glass.
This year’s participating museums include the recently opened Nordic Museum in Ballard, the nation’s largest collection of history and heritage celebrating the Nordic countries. You can also explore technology past and present at Living Computers: Museum + Labs, pull down the levers of your favorite pinball game at the Seattle Pinball Museum or fly sky high at The Museum of Flight where you’ll see aviation history advance before your very eyes.
In Seattle, art is central to the community. The Sheraton Grand Seattle, a participating hotel for Seattle Museum Month, boasts an impressive collection of art including works by Dale Chihuly, Pilchuck Glass School artists and Alden Mason.
Enjoy renowned favorites as well like the Seattle Art Museum, Museum of History & Industry (MOHAI), Museum of Flight, Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP), Seattle Aquarium, Woodland Park Zoo, Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience and Chihuly Garden and Glass.
“Seattle is the perfect getaway in February – especially for the culture lover in your life,” said Michelle Bufano, Executive Director of Chihuly Garden and Glass. “Seattle has an impressive amount of museums that explore a diverse spectrum of interests. We’re looking forward to welcoming visitors from all over who are looking to engage with and learn more about technology, industry, history and the arts.”
