In celebration of 20 years in downtown Denver, Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center is undergoing a complete transformation of its 1,100 guestrooms and suites. This extensive renovation—currently halfway complete—represents a $70 million investment in the guest experience and is set for completion in March 2026. It follows the 2018 and 2019 revitalization of the hotel’s public spaces and dining venues, which introduced new culinary concepts, flexible seating areas and more than 150 works of art by over 50 Colorado-based creators curated in partnership with Nine Dot Arts.
The hotel’s design and construction partners, including DLR Group, Artaic Group, Benjamin West, and Milender White, were selected for their local roots and shared commitment to craftsmanship, sustainability and community. Together, they’ve created an experience that feels distinctly Denver.
Rooted in a design philosophy of “Slow and True,” the reimagined rooms feature all new hard and soft goods, utilizing materials including natural wood and stone, porcelain and vegan leather, reflecting Denver’s balance of city energy and natural outdoor beauty. Hardwood flooring with in-laid carpeting, warm furnishings featuring layered designs with interlocking functionality, and soft green accents evoke the surrounding landscape. Bathrooms appealing to the modern traveler feature expansive illuminated mirrors, upgraded vanities, glass-enclosed showers or new bathtubs and large-format amenities – elevated touches designed for comfort and ease. The overall aesthetic is airy and welcoming, inspired by the textures and materials of the Rockies and the city’s urban charm, and complemented by city-or mountain-view windows.
“This renovation is more than a refresh; it’s a thoughtful reinvention of our guest experience,” said Greg Leonard, general manager of Hyatt Regency Denver. “Our team, along with our exceptional local partners, has created spaces that reflect what travelers today value most: calm, comfort, a sense of place and a genuine connection to the local community.”
While the transformation centers on guestrooms, corridors and elevator landings, the enhancements are poised to benefit both business and leisure travelers. With over 60,600 square feet of flexible, modern event space and just steps from the Colorado Convention Center, Hyatt Regency Denver is a premier home base for everything from corporate meetings and industry events to concerts, sporting events and community gatherings. Spacious ballrooms, intimate rooftop venues, a mountain-view lounge and an art-filled restaurant offer versatile settings that reflect the thoughtful, design-forward experience found throughout the property, making it an ideal spot for productivity, comfort and fun in downtown Denver.
“This renovation is an investment in our future–our people, our city and our continued success,” added Leonard. “By keeping the hotel in top shape, we’re not only enhancing the guest experience but also creating stability and opportunity for our colleagues and their families. It’s about building a foundation for the next 20 years and beyond.”
More than half of the transformation is complete, with refreshed rooms already available for guests to enjoy.
