Sage Hospitality Resources announced plans today to turn downtown Denver’s shuttered Executive Tower Inn into a boutique hotel called The Curtis.
The 336-room hotel, set to open in December, will have a pop-culture theme and contemporary décor.
“We are creating a whimsical flair for the hotel. There are other independent hotels in the city but nothing like The Curtis,” Sage Hospitality president Walter Isenberg said in a press release. “We want to capitalize on the rich tradition of the area, our neighbor across the street, The Denver Performing Arts Complex, and the trend nationally towards experiential travel.”
Located at 1405 Curtis St., the pet-friendly hotel will also feature 20,000 square feet of meeting space, high-speed wireless Internet throughout, a fitness center and two restaurants.
The top 14 floors of the property will feature affordable housing units for Auraria Campus students.
Denver-based Sage Hospitality currently operates 47 hotels in 21 states. It owns or manages 15 hotels in Colorado, including the Courtyard by Marriott on the 16th Street Mall and the historic Oxford Hotel.
