Booking Change for American Hotel at ELS/Seattle
Dear ELS Counseling Partners,
ELS/Seattle is pleased to announce a booking change for our off-campus option, American Hotel, for student housing effective Session 4. ELS students may now reserve rooms at the American Hotel directly thorough ELS. ELS will then arrange the reservation of single or double occupancy rooms at the American Hotel. In addition, all payments will be handled by ELS.
Located in the International District of Seattle, adjacent to downtown, the American Hotel is near several transit hubs (light rail, street car, bus, Amtrak) and is a 10-15 minute commute to the center.


The American Hotel houses students and travelers from all over the U.S. and the world. Numerous restaurants and grocery options are minutes away and entertainment (including major sporting events and nightlife) is within walking distance. In addition, the American Hotel hosts its own activities such as walking tours of neighborhoods, movie nights, and game nights.
The dorm-style hostel has single and double occupancy rooms, with shared common areas including a fully equipped kitchen, TV room, bathrooms in hallways, mini-library and game room, public computer room, and coin operated washer/dryer room. The American Hotel provides a safe environment for all residents with a front desk that is staffed 24 hours a day. The front door is locked from 9 pm to 7 am. At night, students will need to have their key to enter the building.
The American Hotel is located 14 miles (22km) from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA). Newly arriving students have the option of the ELS airport pickup service through A-One Airport Express at the price of $120. Preferred check-in is between 3 and 9 pm. Upon arrival, students will go to the front desk to receive their keys.
