SAN FRANCISCO, CA – February 21, 2022 – Today Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ Luxury & Lifestyle Collection, announced plans to open the first lifestyle hotel in the burgeoning Denver Tech Center neighborhood in early 2024. Marking the boutique hotel brand’s third property in the Mile High City, Kimpton Denver Tech Center will offer elevated stay experiences and locally inspired restaurant and bar concepts for the Belleview Station development and its surrounding businesses and local residents.
Owned by DTC Hospitality Investors, LLC, and developed by Cypress 16, LLC in conjunction with McClurg Century Investments, LLC, Kimpton Denver Tech Center will be a new-build boutique hotel featuring 190 beautifully appointed guestrooms, including 14 suites. KGD Architecture will serve as the property architect and KARAMANN will outfit the entirety of the hotel’s interiors. Harvey Cleary Builders will serve as the general contractor for the construction of the project.
As with all Kimptons, beloved amenities and services such as morning coffee and tea service, evening social hour, a “Forgot It? We’ve Got It!” program, in-room yoga mats, on-site fitness center, complimentary bicycles and pet-friendly policies will enhance the guest experience. It wouldn’t be a Kimpton without a jaw-dropping restaurant and bar experience as well. Accompanying a ground-floor restaurant and bar that will surely become a sought-after local gathering place, the 19th floor rooftop bar and lounge will serve as a music venue and offer indoor and outdoor access to expansive views of the Rocky Mountains, with specific sightlines from Pikes Peak to Longs Peak. Those conducting business or convening for celebration will be able to do so in style thanks to the property’s 7,000 square feet of meetings and events space.
“The US Mountain Region has always been an appealing market for us,” said Mike DeFrino, CEO, Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants. “The success of properties such as the Hotel Born in Denver’s Union Station and the Armory Hotel in Bozeman, Montana confirm that our adventurous spirit and work hard play hard mentality have found a like-minded home here. We’re thrilled to be expanding in Colorado and look forward to working alongside our partners at DTC Hospitality to bring their vision to life and infuse our heartfelt care and passion for highly personalized experiences into the new Kimpton Denver Tech Center.”
A booming economic trading center, Denver Tech Center (DTC) has become a gateway to the city’s southeast business corridor and a hub for the region’s high-tech industry. In recent years, thanks to the business expansion in the area, the neighborhood has also seen former Downtown Denver residents migrating to the DTC and bolstering its residential population as well. With this influx of space-seeking locals still craving a connection to a city-like community, DTC is emerging as much more than a corporate business traveler locale and serves up appeal as a leisure destination too with numerous high-end retail, restaurant and entertainment venues. Additionally, DTC has easy access to downtown Denver via the Southeast Light Rail and travelers inbound from Denver International Airport, making it a desirable and accessible destination.
“We are thrilled to become part of Belleview Station and partner with Kimpton to bring a vibrant full-service boutique hotel to DTC,“ said Gary Roffe, managing partner, DTC Hospitality. Our distinctive restaurant and rooftop venue will add new experiences to an area rich in community and the place we call home.”
When it opens in early 2024, Kimpton Denver Tech Center will join Kimpton Hotel Monaco in Downtown Denver and Kimpton Hotel Born in Union Station as Kimpton’s third boutique hotel in Colorado’s greater Denver market. Click here to learn more.
