Visiting Starbucks: The Business Traveler’s Guide

By Rachel Julian, Editor-in-Chief · · 3 min read

A complete business-travel guide to Starbucks’s Seattle headquarters — where to stay, how to get there, and how to make the meeting count.

Direct answer: Visiting Starbucks (the global coffeehouse company) in Seattle: the HQ is at 2401 Utah Ave S, Seattle, WA 98134. Fly into Sea-Tac (SEA) ~20–30 min · Link 1 Line: yes; stay at Fairmont Olympic Hotel, Seattle or another verified option nearby; on the ground, a rideshare or rental to the eastside — though link is reaching more of bellevue and redmond. The full stay and getting-there guides are below.

Everything a business traveler needs for a trip to Starbucks’s Seattle headquarters — the hotel, the airport, and the ground game — in one place, drawn from our verified where-to-stay and getting-there work.

Where to stay near Starbucks

The go-to pick is Fairmont Olympic Hotel, Seattle — A historic luxury landmark in the downtown core near Nordstrom and the financial towers — the room for hosting or an executive visit.. The office sits in SoDo, at the Starbucks Center (2401 Utah Ave S), so book to that submarket rather than defaulting to “downtown.” See the full verified shortlist for Starbucks →
