Seattle's Mayflower Park Hotel

By: Trish Festin,Audrey McCombs,Craig Packer,Stevie Festin

The Mayflower Park Hotel started life as the Bergonian Hotel on July 16, 1927. One of Seattles first uptown hotels, it was designed by architect B. Dudley Stuart and built by Stephen Berg at a cost of $750,000. In the midst of the Great Depression, the hotel was sold and renamed Hotel Mayflower. In 1948, Washington State legalized cocktail lounges, and the Hotel Mayflower became Seattles first hotel to open one. In the ensuing decades, Seattle prospered, and it hosted the 1962 Worlds Fair with its symbolic Space Needle. By the 1970s, Seattle was in a deep recession, and the hotel had become sadly neglected. In 1974, Birney and Marie Dempcy formed a limited partnership to purchase the hotel and renamed it the Mayflower Park Hotel. Restoration started immediately, and after 40 years, the Dempcys remain dedicated to the tradition of making the Mayflower Park Hotel Quite Simply, One of a Kind.
