Hyatt Regency Denver Unveils $70 Million Transformation | News
Hyatt Regency Denver at the Colorado Convention Center is proud to announce the completion of its extensive $70 million transformation, coinciding with the hotel’s 20-year milestone in the heart of downtown Denver. The renovation introduces a complete reinterpretation of the 1,100 rooms and suites, in addition to new and improved meeting spaces, designed to elevate both the guest and local experience. It follows the 2018 and 2019 revitalization of the hotel’s dining options – including the former Saint Craft Kitchen and Taps, Peaks 27th Floor Lounge and Assembly Hall Bar + Market – as well as its public spaces, featuring updated design, flexible seating areas and more than 150 works of art from more than 50 Colorado-based makers, curated in collaboration with Nine Dot Arts.
Rooted in a design philosophy of ‘Slow and True’, the fully transformed rooms transport guests from the vibrant spirit of the city to a calm silence upon entry. Each room features all new hard and soft materials, with natural wood and stone, porcelain and vegan leather; materials that reflect Denver’s natural environment, with layered textures and tonal colors that create a balanced, sensory experience. Warm, sophisticated furnishings and soft green accents evoke the Colorado landscape, while carefully integrated elements such as functional under-TV storage, USB-C charging ports, enhanced lighting and spacious workspaces provide added convenience for today’s traveler. Some rooms also feature lounge seating that faces city and mountain views. The redesigned bathrooms feature large illuminated mirrors, upgraded vanities, glass-walled showers or new bathtubs and full-size amenities. The result is an airy, welcoming aesthetic inspired by the textures of the Rockies and the city’s urban charm.
Continuing the hotel’s legacy as a premier meeting destination and complementing its 60,000 square feet of flexible event space, the renovation also introduces Summit Five, a new 800 square foot meeting space on the fifth floor. Designed with a local-first mentality, the space provides an intimate setting ideal for small meetings and gatherings and serves as a natural extension of the Denver City Terrace, a sought-after outdoor venue with city views, allowing for a seamless flow for receptions and social events.
“This transformation represents a meaningful investment in both our physical spaces and the people who bring them to life every day,” said Greg Leonard, general manager of Hyatt Regency Denver at the Colorado Convention Center. “We enhance the guest experience while supporting our team with an environment designed for long-term success.”
During the renovation, Hyatt Regency Denver continued its commitment to responsible design and sustainability. Through the hotel’s furniture moving and installation vendors, approximately 90 percent of the furniture, mattresses, lighting and artwork from previous rooms were resold and diverted from landfills, finding new homes across the United States. In addition, newly installed bathroom shower pans are made from recycled materials, each consisting of approximately 450 recycled plastic bottles, resulting in the reuse of almost half a million bottles in total.
This large-scale reconstruction of the rooms, corridors and elevator crossings was made possible through the collaboration of trusted local suppliers, including DLR Group, Artaic Group, Benjamin West and Milender White, and was completed on schedule in just 14 months, while the hotel remained fully operational. Their shared commitment to craftsmanship, sustainability and community helped bring the vision to life seamlessly, creating a final product that felt distinctly Denver.
“The transformation of the Hyatt Regency Denver into the Colorado Convention Center represents a significant investment in one of our city’s most important downtown buildings,” said Bill Mosher, CEO of the Denver Convention Center Hotel Authority. “Involving a creative and committed team of local partners and suppliers throughout the process ensured that the impact of the transformation extended beyond the hotel guests and into the broader Denver community.”
While this latest investment focused primarily on guestrooms, the improvements will benefit both business and leisure travelers.
“With spacious ballrooms, an intimate rooftop venue and an art-filled restaurant, the hotel offers versatile environments, allowing us to host everything from large-scale conferences to intimate gatherings,” said Leonard. “We are also the perfect launching point for travelers and locals alike, whether they are attending business meetings, industry events, concerts, sporting events, community gatherings or simply exploring downtown Denver.”
Now complete, the transformation marks the beginning of the hotel’s next chapter, which continues to reflect the dynamic spirit of Denver while providing a refreshing, refined stay for years to come. Guests can experience the property through special offers such as the Regency Reimagined package, celebrating the newly transformed rooms, or the Bed & Breakfast option, including daily breakfast at Former Saint Craft Kitchen and Taps. Additionally, in celebration of its 20-year milestone, the hotel is also offering $20 off per person on wedding packages booked by May 31, 2026 and held by December 31, 2027. The offer must be detailed in the marriage contract. Please contact the hotel for full promotional terms and conditions.
