DENVER, CO—(Marketwired – Feb 24, 2015) – Rising high above the downtown Denver skyline, The Ritz–Carlton, Denver has become synonymous with the city's most sophisticated hospitality experience. Its organically inspired modern aesthetic, impeccable service and bevy of amenities have long set it apart from other city–center hotels in Denver. But when the Denver convention center hotel completes renovations to its 202 guest rooms and suites this March, it will stand out not just physically but metaphorically, too, and in the best of ways.
The changes engendered by the soft–goods renovation embrace the same understated elegance that permeates the rest of the downtown Denver hotel. Guests will discover a new color palette, for example, that revolves around creamy, neutral tones but that also includes rich blues for depth and beauty. Clean lines and natural materials create a style that is in step with the rest of the property. And the soft goods — which include new wall coverings, plush carpeting, updated headboard and chaise lounge upholstery, new trip/wall paint and fresh artwork — combine to create some of the most attractive hotel rooms and suites in Denver.
Guests may encounter a new aesthetic in their accommodations, but many of the renowned amenities remain in place. Hotel guests, for example, will still enjoy HD televisions, featherbeds, in–room dining from ELWAY'S, five–fixture bathrooms and Asprey bath products in what are the largest luxury hotel rooms in all of Denver. Plus new, tech–savvy innovations like mobile check–in and bedside charging stations have been incorporated to suit business and leisure travelers alike.
Although the hotel is only seven years old, this renovation is the first in a series of projected updates, which are being helmed by the industry's top design firm, Hirsch Bedner Associates. The Club® Lounge, which unfurls along the 12th floor, will undergo its own transformation later this year with similar colors and design elements to those integrated in the guest rooms. And the award–winning Ritz–Carlton Spa will enjoy its own makeover with a new hair and nail salon as well as the construction of a 24–hour fitness club.
All of these changes, both completed and anticipated, only enhance the property's reputation as the finest among hotels in downtown Denver. And they come at a critical time in the city's development. “As the Mile High City continues to expand, particularly in the luxury market, we find ourselves ideally positioned to invest in our future,” explained the general manager Steve Janicek. “Our model rooms are already garnering acclaim, and both our guests and our associates are looking forward to their debut.” Standing out, after all, often translates to being outstanding, in every sense of the word.
