J&M Hotel

Home to “Seattle’s Oldest Bar,” the J&M Hotel was built just after the Great Fire of 1889. This complete renovation of the original building in Pioneer Square creates a 25-room boutique hotel, a bar/restaurant, and a new music venue. The design includes a seismic retrofit, new building systems, façade restoration, and interior design. A historic annex that is dilapidated and in danger of collapse is being carefully deconstructed and rebuilt with a new foundation and structural system.

The project design complies with the requirements of the Pioneer Square Preservation Board and the National Park Service Certified Rehabilitation program.
