Host Hotel

Updated March 16, 2014

Renaissance HotelThe host hotel for the Emerald City Hoedown for 2014 is once again the Renaissance Seattle Hotel!

Rates for 2014 start at $129+tax per night for double occupancy.  The room block expires March 7.  (The hotel room block has limited availability outside the two main nights of the hoedown, March 28 and 29, but some room nights are available.  If you have difficulty obtaining rooms outside the main hoedown nights, contact us at info@emeraldcityhoedown.com and we will work with the hotel if we can.)

All hoedown events — workshops, dances, and socials — will be held at the host hotel, so staying at the Renaissance Hotel enables you participate fully in the hoedown activities.  This is the fourth year that the Emerald City Hoedown will be at this hotel, and they host events for numerous other GLBTQ organizations throughout the year.

The room block has expired.  The hoedown weekend is also the Emerlad City Comicon, which is growing in size each year, so hotel rooms at the Renaissance or other area hotels may be in short supply throughout the area if you register after the room block closes.  If the hotel does not have any rooms available at a suitable rate, try posting to the Emerald City Hoedown Facebook page to look for a roommate.
