Colorado's first dual-brand hotel is celebrating its grand opening.
Hampton Inn & Suites and Homewood Suites by Hilton Denver Downtown-Convention Center is open in the original Xcel Energy headquarters at 550 15th St. just a half block from the Colorado Convention Center.
Developed by Englewood-based
Stonebridge Cos., the 13-story hotel includes 302 rooms and 4,355 square feet of meeting space. The lobby will be split between the two brands, offering separate front desks, lodging and dining areas.
"Our team has taken great care and consideration in the adaptive reuse of this landmark Denver building," said Navin Dimond, president and chief executive of Stonebridge. "We are especially pleased with the efforts taken to make it a true original."
The hotel features artwork from six local artists, a living green wall in the lobby and bold use of color, texture and space throughout.
Hampton Inn & Suites and Homewood Suites by Hilton Denver Downtown-Convention Center is Stonebridge's first dual-brand property, and will bring approximately 75 jobs to the Denver area. The opening also marks the 12th
dual-branded property from Hilton Worldwide in North America, and the 11th featuring the Homewood Suites brand.
Founded in 1991 by Navin Dimond, Stonebridge is a privately owned hotel-management company that has developed more than 60 hotels and operated more than 75 lodging properties. Currently, Stonebridge operates over 40 hotels with more than 6,000 guest rooms in Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, Utah, Virginia, Washington and New York.
