The Edgewater Hotel Celebrates 50th Anniversary of the Beatles' World Tour

Fifty years ago, on February 7, 1964, Pan Am Yankee Clipper flight 101 from London Heathrow landed at New York's Kennedy Airport and "Beatlemania" hit America. The Beatles had just launched the US leg of their world tour.

In August of 1964, The Beatles famously stayed at The Edgewater Hotel and fished out of their window during the stay in the Emerald City. The city was so consumed with Beatlemania that The Edgewater had to install cyclone fencing around the hotel to keep the screaming fans at bay. Some fans even tried swimming across Elliott Bay to reach the Fab Four. After their concert, The Beatles were rushed back to the hotel in an ambulance, while taxi cabs and stand-ins were used as decoys. The Edgewater Hotel, Seattle’s only luxury waterfront hotel, is thrilled to announce a year-long celebration of The Beatles with the 'Fab Four's World Tour' package, starting at $799.00, and available March 1 - Dec. 30, 2014.
