Ten New & Upcoming Denver Hotels

Denver is growing more and more each year. With that growth, there was been some really cool hotels popping up.

1. THE WESTIN DENVER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Opened on November 19, 2015, the new 519-room Westin Hotel located at Denver International Airport is part of the South Terminal Redevelopment project. It is one of only four hotels in America directly attached to an airport terminal. The hotel has its own station on the commuter rail line that runs from the airport to downtown Denver.

2. THE ART, A HOTEL, GOLDEN TRIANGLE

The ART, a hotel, which opened in April 2015, is a 165-room boutique hotel next to the Denver Art Museum. The look and feel of the hotel are extremely unique, from the moment guests arrive through a portico-like entrance past open spaces that are a showcase of modern art, all the way through the guest experience. The hotel has its own curator, Dianne Vanderlip, former curator of modern and contemporary art at the Denver Art Museum. Each suite features a vibrant wall covering, and the rooms along 12^th Avenue and Broadway have seats in �pop-out� windows where guests can enjoy views of the city or the Rocky Mountains. The building was designed by architect Guadalupe Cantu of Davis Partnership Architects, the same firm that worked with Daniel Libeskind when he designed the spectacular Frederic C. Hamilton Building addition to the Denver Art Museum. In 2016, the ART was voted one of the top five Best New Hotels by USA Today 10Best readers.

3. THE CRAWFORD HOTEL, LODO

This historic 112-room property opened in August 2014 as the centerpiece of the newly restored Denver Union Station and offers three styles of rooms. The "Pullman" rooms on the second floor are modeled after the luxury private sleeping cars of historic trains. The "Classic" rooms on the third floor come with tall ceilings and large windows. The former attic area is now the "Loft,� featuring exposed wood timbers, vaulted ceilings and a more contemporary design. To make the most of the architectural features, most of the rooms in the hotel are one-of-a-kind designs and shapes. The hotel shares The Oxford Club Spa with the award-winning Oxford Hotel across the street.

4. RENAISSANCE DENVER DOWNTOWN CITY CENTER

This full-service, four-star, 221-room hotel opened in May 2014 in the restored Colorado National Bank Building, which was originally built in 1915 from the same white marble used in the Lincoln Memorial and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The hotel incorporates many historic details from the old bank, including three vaults with 33-inch thick doors that now serve as meeting rooms. The elegant ground floor restaurant, Range, specializes in foods of the American West with many Colorado specialties, while the lobby bar is surrounded by huge, wall-size murals painted by local artist Allen Tupper True. Considered one of Colorado�s premier native-born artists, True focused his work on Western subjects. The murals in the hotel depict the lives of American Indians on the Plains.
