Planning notes and things to confirm before signing a contract
Before you sign, confirm the final room capacities for your preferred setup (banquet rounds, theater, classroom), the hotel’s AV offerings or outside vendor policies, any room-block attrition rules, and whether any of the on-site restaurants are available for private use. Event layouts, fire-code limits and rental of multiple rooms will affect final capacities and pricing.
Also ask about parking arrangements for guests, pet policies for guests staying on property, and access to off-site spa facilities (Elaia Spa at Hyatt at Olive 8 offers day-pass access and treatments for guests of Hyatt Regency Seattle).
- Verify capacity by setup (banquet, theater, cocktail) — published maximums are subject to configuration.
- Confirm which restaurants and catering options can be used for private events — Daniel's Broiler is independently operated.
- Ask about parking fees, EV charging availability, and group-room-block terms.
- If spa access matters, confirm Elaia Spa day-pass availability and age rules (Elaia Spa services require 16+ for treatments).
| Item to confirm | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Final capacities by setup | Determines whether your guest count fits the chosen room |
| Catering and restaurant availability | Affects menu options and billing (Daniel's Broiler is independent) |
| Room-block and parking details | Impacts guest logistics and costs |
