Hyatt Regency Denver Unveils $70 Million Transformation

CHICAGO (April 16, 2026) - Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center proudly announces the completion of its comprehensive $70 million transformation, coinciding with the hotel's 20-year milestone in the heart of downtown Denver. The renovation introduces a full reimagination of its 1,100 guestrooms and suites alongside new and enhanced gathering spaces, designed to elevate both the guest and local experience. It follows the 2018 and 2019 revitalization of the hotel's dining venues - including Former Saint Craft Kitchen and Taps, Peaks 27^th Floor Lounge and Assembly Hall Bar + Market - as well as its public spaces, with updated design, flexible seating areas and more than 150 works of art by over 50 Colorado-based creators curated in partnership with Nine Dot Arts.

Rooted in a design philosophy of "Slow and True," the fully transformed guestrooms transition guests from the lively spirit of the city to a calm hush upon entry. Each room features all new hard and soft goods, incorporating natural wood and stone, porcelain and vegan leather-materials that reflect Denver's natural surroundings, with layered textures and tonal colors creating a balanced, sensory experience. Warm, refined furnishings and soft green accents evoke the Colorado landscape, while thoughtfully integrated elements such as functional under-TV storage, USB-C charging ports, enhanced lighting and spacious work areas offer added convenience for today's traveler. Select rooms also feature lounge seating oriented toward city and mountain views. Redesigned bathrooms include expansive illuminated mirrors, upgraded vanities, glass-enclosed showers or new bathtubs, and large-format amenities. The result is an airy, welcoming aesthetic inspired by the textures of the Rockies and the city's urban charm.

Expanding on the hotel's legacy as a premier meetings destination and adding to its over 60,000 square feet of flexible event space, the renovation also introduces Summit Five, a new 891-square-foot meeting space located on the fifth floor. Designed with a local-first mindset, the space offers an intimate setting ideal for small meetings and gatherings and serves as a natural extension of the Denver City Terrace, a sought-after outdoor venue with city views, allowing for a seamless flow for receptions and social events.

"This transformation represents a meaningful investment in both our physical spaces and the people who bring them to life each day," said Greg Leonard, general manager of Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center. "We're elevating the guest experience while also supporting our team with an environment designed for long-term success."

Throughout the renovation, Hyatt Regency Denver remained committed to responsible design and sustainability. Through the hotel's furniture-moving and installation vendors, approximately 90 percent of furniture, mattresses, lighting and artwork from previous guestrooms was resold and diverted from landfills, finding new homes across the United States. Additionally, newly installed bathroom shower pans were created using recycled materials, each composed of approximately 450 recycled plastic bottles, resulting in the reuse of nearly half a million bottles in total.

This full-scale reconstruction of the guestrooms, corridors and elevator landings was made possible through the collaboration of trusted local vendors, including DLR Group, Artaic Group, Benjamin West and Milender White, and completed on schedule in just 14 months while the hotel remained fully operational. Their shared commitment to craftsmanship, sustainability and community helped bring the vision to life seamlessly, creating a finished product that feels distinctly Denver.

"The transformation of the Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center represents an important investment in one of our city's most important downtown properties," said Bill Mosher, CEO of the Denver Convention Center Hotel Authority. "Engaging a creative and committed team of local partners and vendors throughout the process ensured that the transformation's impact extends beyond the hotel's guests and into the broader Denver community."

While this most recent investment focused primarily on guestrooms, the enhancements benefit both business and leisure travelers.

"With spacious ballrooms, an intimate rooftop venue and an art-filled restaurant, the hotel offers versatile settings, allowing us to welcome everything from large-scale conventions to intimate gatherings," said Leonard. "We're also the perfect starting point for both travelers and locals, whether they're attending corporate meetings, industry events, concerts, sporting events, community gatherings or just exploring downtown Denver."

Now complete, the transformation marks the beginning of the hotel's next chapter, continuing to reflect Denver's dynamic spirit while offering a refreshed, sophisticated stay for years to come. Guests can experience the property through special offers such as the Regency Reimagined package, celebrating the newly transformed guestrooms, or the Bed & Breakfast option, which includes daily breakfast at Former Saint Craft Kitchen and Taps. Plus, to mark its 20-year milestone, the hotel is also offering $20 off per person for wedding packages booked by May 31, 2026, and held before December 31, 2027. Offer must be detailed in the wedding contract. Contact the hotel for full offer terms.
