Events & Meetings

Need a quiet spot for brainstorming? A large event space for celebrating?

The right venue makes your special events and meetings not only great, but easy too. Whether you’re looking for a venue for a wedding, birthday or anniversary party, holiday celebration, corporate dinner, meeting, or any other special gathering, we provide not only the venue but also delicious fare prepared by Chef Bilotta and the Rider culinary team as well as services to help your event run smoothly. From planning to food and more, our helpful staff and sophisticated backdrop will ensure you and your guests have a memorable experience.

Our Seattle event spaces have been custom-designed to create elegant, innovative rooms that reflect a sense of craft and attention to detail, with rich wood finishings, custom Axminster carpets and beautifully textured upholstery. Constructed in 1929, the original Roosevelt Hotel was conceived by local visionaries and built by the Pacific Northwest’s finest suppliers, artisans and skilled craftsmen. This pioneering spirit and dedication to workmanship can be seen in the hotel’s latest re-imagining as the Hotel Theodore.

Atrium

A stylish, comfortable space with infinite possibilities

We’ve handcrafted this large, open-concept room in the true Theodore spirit — with an inventive, relaxed décor, making the Atrium equally suitable for formal wedding receptions, post-rehearsal cocktails, or as a stylish venue for the ceremony itself. Overhead skylights and large floral murals give this room an airy, open feel, while plush, textured furnishings make it easy for guests to relax. A staircase leads up to our Mezzanine; these two levels of event space can be combined for larger events.

A spacious, modern lounge area with comfortable seating, high ceilings, and a mezzanine level, featuring a person sitting and working on a laptop.
