Specialty Cocktail in Honor of Mayflower Park Hotel's History

How lucky are we to be tucked in the corner of one of Seattle’s most iconic hotels? Pretty darn lucky! 

Celebrating its 91st Anniversary, the Mayflower Park Hotel started life as the Bergonian Hotel on July 16, 1927 and has been in continuous operation ever since. One of Seattle’s first ‘uptown’ hotels, it took six months to build and was named after owner Stephen Berg and his love for the newspaper, the Oregonian.

In salute to our hotel and the many guests we have been privileged to serve, we present The Bergonian cocktail. Crafted with local award winner Copperworks Gin, Cointreau, Cream de Casis, Espirit du June, a squeeze of lemon, a bit of red wine and Prosecco – it’s the perfect drink to honor the historic Mayflower Park Hotel.

Oliver's 40th Party

It was one for the ages: classic cocktails, scrumptious appetizers and toasts galore with friends and family.

Thank you to everyone for a one of a kind tribute to Oliver’s 40 years!
