warm wood finishes reminiscent of the Pacific Northwest, rotating
art curated from local galleries, a unique spa space to rejuvenate

amenities.

extends our commitment to creating world-class experiences for our
customers," said Claude Roussel,
Managing Director — Delta Sky Club. "Seattle has a rapidly expanding business and
travel community, and it's important that we create an experience
that uniquely represents the local market with a feel that's also
very inviting to the city's guests."
The club will offer a complimentary menu featuring chef-driven
selections highlighting local flavors along with a complimentary
local IPA craft beer by Georgetown Brewing Company, Seattle's own Starbucks coffee and local wines
by the glass curated by Master Sommelier Andrea Robinson.
