The Crimson Room on Larimer Street, down the street from and across from , will celebrate its grand opening on Dec. 5 with a charity event. Itap the latest venue from Brian Siffermann, owner/operator of Denver’s only champagne bar, .
The Crimson Room is a luxury lounge designed for Denver’s posh set. Located on Larimer Street, its entrance is understated: just a tall red door with no other information than the address, 1403 Larimer. As you walk down a long stairway to the underground lounge, a grand entry emerges, dominated by two tall chairs covered in gold mohair that look like thrones. The space, designed by Denver-based architect Eric Mandil, is lush and dramatic. Crimson and black are the primary colors, and Swarovski crystal pendant lighting hangs from a ceiling of nearly 8 feet.
Siffermann got the idea for The Crimson Room after he struggled to help friends and Corridor 44 guests who asked for recommendations on where to go after dinner. He approached his business partner, Jeff Hermanson, CEO of Larimer Associates, with his pitch.
“There’s really nowhere to go after a fine dining experience on Larimer Square for mature people,” he said, adding that most of Denver’s nightclub catered to a younger generation.
They decided that a high-end lounge, something that felt special and exclusive, had great potential for the space at 1403 Larimer Street.
And the link with Larimer Associates, which is behind , is also helpful.
“There’s great marketability with all the guests that come through and stay at the Crawford Hotel and go to the Cooper Lounge,” said Siffermann. “I’m not going to steal from Jenn (Jasinski) and Alex Seidel, but after their dinners, they’re going to have somewhere to send them — like the people who stay at The Crawford and The Four Seasons. Thatap our people. Thatap who we want in there.”
The Crimson Room stays open until 2 a.m., and the cold kitchen is open for such late-night delicacies as caviar; snow crab claw and shrimp cocktail; pink salt and black truffle buttered popcorn and innovative charcuterie boards. There’s even a ham and cheese sandwich if burning calories on the dance floor works up a serious appetite.
The music vibe is geared to appeal to a range of age groups.
“I want the guy who’s 60 years old sitting at the bar to tap his foot as well as the 30-year-old,” said Siffermann. “I want to make everyone feel comfortable in the space.”
