Hyatt Regency Denver Unveils $70M Transformation

The 1,100-room Hyatt Regency Denver at the Colorado Convention Center has completed a comprehensive $70 million transformation, coinciding with the hotel's 20-year anniversary. The renovation reimagined all guest rooms and suites, and added and enhanced gathering spaces.

"This transformation represents a meaningful investment in both our physical spaces and the people who bring them to life each day," Greg Leonard, general manager of the hotel, said. "We're elevating the guest experience while also supporting our team with an environment designed for long-term success."

Rooted in a "slow and true," design philosophy, the updated rooms aim to transition guests from the lively spirit of the city to the calm hush of their personal space. Each guest room features new hard and soft goods, incorporating natural wood and stone, porcelain, and vegan leather. Warm, refined furnishings and soft green accents evoke the Colorado landscape, and thoughtfully integrated elements have been added, such as functional under-TV storage, USB-C charging ports, enhanced lighting and spacious work areas. Select rooms also feature lounge seating with city and mountain views. The bathrooms now offer illuminated mirrors, upgraded vanities, glass-enclosed showers or new bathtubs, and large-format amenities.

The completion of the renovation also introduces Summit Five, a new 891-square-foot breakout room on the fifth floor, an intimate setting for small gatherings that serves as an extension of the Denver City Terrace, an outdoor venue with city views.

Sustainably minded

Throughout the renovation, Hyatt Regency Denver remained committed to responsible design and sustainability. Through the hotel's furniture-moving and installation vendors, approximately 90 percent of the furniture, mattresses, lighting and artwork was resold, diverting them from landfills. Newly installed bathroom shower pans were created using recycled materials, each composed of approximately 450 recycled plastic bottles, resulting in the reuse of nearly half a million bottles in total.

"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, which owns the property. "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."

The hotel features several F&B outlets. The signature spot is Former Saint Craft Kitchen and Taps, serving 16 local beers delivered through copper piping from a glass-enclosed keg room. On the 27th floor, the Peaks Lounge offers cocktails with a view, and casual eats and handcrafted coffee/beverages are available at Assembly Hall Bar + Market.

Other amenities include a 24-hour gym, an indoor pool, an outdoor hot tub, and Spa Juniper, the hotel's new boutique spa.
