Denver-based Urban Villages has launched construction of the 265-room Populus at 14th Street and Colfax Avenue in the Civic Center Park area. Slated for completion in late 2023, the country’s first carbon positive hotel is ironically being built on the site of Colorado’s first gas station.

Visiting two additions to the downtown Denver lodging scene recently brought a smile to my face.
The state’s largest ballroom and a downtown Denver rooftop terrace are highlights
An exciting project has launched in downtown Denver, one that has experienced its fair share of delays making a “raise the roof” ceremony in September 2021 especially sweet. The event officially kicked off the Colorado Convention Center expansion.
The fanfare surrounding completion of the Sheraton Denver Downtown’s $80 million, full-scale renovation may have been delayed due to COVID-19, but the VIP/media ribbon cutting and community unveiling event on Sept. 16 was done in true style. The porte-cochere and lobby were taken over for the event that featured live music, a sampling of local food and drink, and the chance to savor a cocktail in Bezel Denver, a swank new bar that hasn’t opened to the public quite yet.

The COVID-19 pandemic hasn’t stopped the opening of new hotels in downtown Denver with the latest being the 264-room Hyatt Centric Downtown Denver opening its doors on Oct. 26, 2021.

THE DENVER SKYLINE HAS exploded, and we’re not talking fireworks. The excitement is from an enormous downtown transformation, adding cultural buildings, hotels, dozens of local-chef restaurants, breweries, distilleries and event spaces to the Mile High City’s central sector.
