UW guests can take all the complication out of a Seattle stay by booking a room with us on-campus and enjoying competitively priced, modern accommodations and added amenities. Whether you’re on campus for a few days or a few weeks, you can stay in our modern hotel-like residence halls.

The UW Seattle Campus is located in the vibrant University District, a short bus or light rail ride away from downtown.

If you are looking for group housing for an on-campus event or camp, please visit our conference accommodations page.
