ATLANTA—Davidson Hotels & Resorts has added the 233-room Hilton Garden Inn Denver Union Station, projected to open in 2018.
Located in the Union Station neighborhood, connecting the lower downtown (LoDo) entertainment district to the Central Platte Valley, the Hilton Garden Inn will be accessbile to Union Station; Coors Field, home of the Colorado Rockies; Denver’s Central Business District and other attractions, including the 16th Street Mall, Larimer Square and Denver Art Museum.
“With the current revitalization of downtown Denver, we’re excited to be opening a hotel in the Union Station neighborhood, the city’s new epicenter and transportation nexus,” said John Belden, CEO of Davidson.
The hotel will leverage the current trend of adaptive-reuse of historic buildings, opening a restaurant concept in the repurposed Hose Company fire station, adjoining the newly constructed hotel. In addition, there will be over 6,000 sq. ft. of meeting and event space, a heated indoor pool, 24-hour fitness center and two levels of underground parking.
“Davidson was the perfect choice for us as they have extensive experience with Hilton, as well as a highly successful background with urban properties,” said Bahman Shafa, president of Focus Property Group, the project developer. “Davidson has been a tremendous collaborator with us as we’ve strived to develop something highly unique and noteworthy for the neighborhood and the city.”
