The Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center has unveiled a $70 million makeover that reimagines its 1,100 rooms and suites alongside updated meeting and gathering spaces.
The 37-story hotel’s guestrooms have been redesigned with new furniture, fixtures and finishes.
Furnishings have been refreshed with natural wood and stone, porcelain and vegan leather, along with layered textures and neutral tones inspired by Denver’s landscape. Rooms also feature added conveniences, including under-TV storage, USB-C charging ports, upgraded lighting and spacious work areas.
Additionally, newly installed bathroom shower pans were created using recycled materials, each composed of about , resulting in the reuse of nearly half a million bottles in total, according to a Thursday news release about the renovation.
“This transformation represents a meaningful investment in both our physical spaces and the people who bring them to life each day,” said Greg Leonard, general manager of Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center.
Throughout the renovation, approximately 90% of furniture, mattresses, lighting and artwork from previous guestrooms were resold and diverted from landfills, finding new homes across the United States.
Aside from guestrooms, the hotel expanded its meetings and events offerings with the addition of Summit Five, an 891-square-foot meeting space on the fifth floor, bringing its total event space to more than 60,000 square feet. Designed to support smaller meetings and gatherings, the space serves as an extension of the Denver City Terrace, an outdoor venue with city views.
In collaboration with local partners, including DLR Group, Artaic Group, Benjamin West and Milender White, the full-scale reconstruction of the guestrooms, corridors and elevator landings was completed in 14 months while the hotel remained fully operational.
“The transformation of the Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center represents an important investment in one of our city’s most important downtown properties,” said Bill Mosher, CEO of the Denver Convention Center Hotel Authority.
“Engaging a creative and committed team of local partners and vendors throughout the process ensured that the transformation’s impact extends beyond the hotel’s guests and into the broader Denver community.”
As the hotel marks its 20-year milestone in downtown Denver, the makeover builds on updates completed in 2018 and 2019 to its dining venues, including Former Saint Craft Kitchen and Taps, Peaks 27th Floor Lounge and Assembly Hall Bar + Market, as well as its public spaces.
