CHICAGO—Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center has completed a $70 million renovation of its guest rooms, suites, and meeting spaces as the property marks its 20th anniversary downtown.
The overhaul includes a full redesign of all 1,100 guest rooms and suites, along with new and upgraded gathering areas. The hotel says the project builds on earlier renovations to its dining and public spaces, which feature more than 150 works by Colorado-based artists curated with Nine Dot Arts.
The updated rooms incorporate natural materials such as wood, stone, and porcelain, along with vegan leather and layered textures intended to reflect the surrounding landscape. Each room includes new furnishings, upgraded lighting, expanded workspaces, and enhanced technology. Bathrooms were also redesigned with illuminated mirrors, new vanities, and glass-enclosed showers or bathtubs.
The renovation also adds a new 891-square-foot meeting space called Summit Five, in addition to its 60,000+ square feet of flexible event space, designed for smaller gatherings and located on the fifth floor. The space connects to its Denver City Terrace outdoor venue, expanding event and reception options.
“This transformation represents a meaningful investment in both our physical spaces and the people who bring them to life each day. We’re elevating the guest experience while also supporting our team with an environment designed for long-term success,” says Greg Leonard, general manager of Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center.
The updated spaces are aimed at both business and leisure travelers, with flexible meeting areas and hospitality offerings designed to accommodate conventions, events, and local gatherings.
“With spacious ballrooms, an intimate rooftop venue, and an art-filled restaurant, the hotel offers versatile settings, allowing us to welcome everything from large-scale conventions to intimate gatherings,” Leonard adds. “We’re also the perfect starting point for both travelers and locals, whether they’re attending corporate meetings, industry events, concerts, sporting events, community gatherings, or just exploring downtown Denver.”
The hotel’s sustainability measures included diverting approximately 90% of removed furnishings from landfills through resale and reuse. New bathroom components also incorporated recycled materials, including shower pans made with the equivalent of approximately 450 recycled plastic bottles each.
The renovation was completed in 14 months while the hotel remained open, with design and construction partners including DLR Group, Artaic Group, Benjamin West, and Milender White.
