Convention CenterSummit

Summit is taking meetings to new heights

Opened in January 2023, Seattle Convention Center’s new Summit building is just a block and a half away from Arch. It provides state-of-the-art amenities and adds wide-ranging flexibility for groups looking to get the most out of a gathering in Seattle.

This building not only connects Seattle’s most vibrant neighborhoods, but also blends city life with elements of the natural surroundings to create a place that is home to unique local experiences and awe-inspiring meeting spaces all within the center of Seattle’s bustling downtown. Summit can be booked on its own or combined with Arch for larger groups, depending on your needs.
