The 451-key Hyatt Regency Denver Tech Center in Colorado
Completes $5 Million Renovation of Public Spaces

DENVER (April 16, 2013) – This week, Hyatt Regency Denver Tech Center announces the Grand Opening of its $5 million hotel renovation which includes the new signature restaurant, Root25 Taphouse & Kitchen,  as well as a redesigned lobby, guest reception and public spaces.  The celebration includes culinary showcases with Colorado purveyors of local and regional ingredients reflected in the new Root25 Taphouse & Kitchen restaurant concept; welcome parties are planned for Colorado media, guests, business leaders and Hyatt aficionados this Wednesday and Thursday.

Root25 Taphouse & Kitchen is the property’s signature restaurant. The gastro-pub menu and beer selections give a nod to historic recipes from Colorado pubs, bistros and watering holes. The restaurant space also features several private dining areas, accommodating groups of 10 – 30 people.

“We are excited to introduce Root25 Taphouse & Kitchen to our guests and the local community,” said Ben Hardaway, director of food and beverage at Hyatt Regency Denver Tech Center. “The Taphouse is all about the beer. We feature Colorado craft beer such as Avery and O’Dell’s, as well as craft spirits from the region.  The Root25 Taphouse & Kitchen team works with some of Colorado’s best-known local purveyors, including Lombardi Brothers, Haystack Mountain Goat Dairy and Udi’s Artisan Bread.”

An invitation-only event, “Party With Purveyors” for Denver’s key media and foodies, will kick off the opening events on Wednesday from 4:30-7 p.m., as Hardaway gathers key purveyors to explain and demonstrate the thoughtfulness and resources behind the menu and ingredients of Root25, which embodies Hyatt’s “Thoughtfully Sourced. Carefully Served” food philosophy.

On Thursday, April 18, the grand opening celebration, hosting some of Hyatt Regency Denver Tech Center’s key clients, guests, business leaders and VIPs, will be held as guests are invited to try the craft spirits and beer and sample the culinary delights of Root25’s new menu.

The hotel’s pre-function and public spaces have also been re-designed with warm wood and stonework details, complementing Colorado’s organic landscape. Best known locally for hosting corporate meetings and social events, the new space can accommodate well over 1,000 guests. The conceptual changes have created a fresh and cohesive atmosphere capitalizing on the natural light and architecture present in the atrium foyer. New technology and design has eliminated the need for a traditional front desk. Instead, guests experience a unique sense of arrival with associates greeting arrivals at hospitable reception tables with the ability to utilize mobile devices including iPads for guests departing.

“We are ecstatic to re-open with such energy and appeal to our valued guests,” said Keith Spinden, newly appointed general manager.  “Colorado is known for its passion for great food, excellent hospitality and views that are unparalleled anywhere else in the world. I think our renovation highlights all of those elements. To launch this week with our valued partners, media, guests and neighbors is delightful for me, our Hyatt Regency associates here in Denver, and our associates worldwide. We are proud to be a part of this incredibly vibrant community of Colorado for over 27 years.”
