The hotel incurs no direct or indirect cost to the city or Denver taxpayers. The nonprofit Denver Convention Center Hotel Authority is issuing the bonds.
The hotel is scheduled to open in early 2006. It will be built across the street from the $268 million expansion of the Colorado Convention Center. The expanded convention center will have a 600,000-sf meeting room, the sixth largest of its kind west of Chicago, said Eugene Dilbeck, president and CEO of the Denver metro Convention & Visitor Bureau.
The hotel, designed by Denver-based Klipp Colussy Jenks Dubois Architects, will have 37 stories on one side and 27 stories on the other. The 1.2 million-sf facility will include a four-story glass atrium, a 300-seat, full-service restaurant, 60,000 sf of meeting space, and 600 parking spaces.
