Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel Completes US$70 Million Renovation

The Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel, one of Colorado’s largest hotels, has completed a $70 million renovation.

“We are incredibly excited to showcase an entirely new guest experience through this comprehensive and exciting renovation of the Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel,” said Mike Ehmann, General Manager for the Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel. “This $70 million renovation, begun by our owners, Chartres Lodging Group, underscores our dedication to the Denver hospitality community. Furthermore, the donation to Denver’s Road Home reflects our commitment to those in need throughout the community.”

Located on the famous 16th Street Mall, just blocks from the recently expanded Colorado Convention Center, the Sheraton Denver boasts 1,231 guestrooms and suites and 133,000 square feet of meeting space.

A key component of Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel’s renovation is a lobby redesign featuring the brand’s signature hotel offering: “Link@Sheraton experienced with Microsoft”, a lobby lounge that enables guests to stay connected using Windows-based computers that feature Microsoft Office, Bing, Bing Maps, Internet access and Microsoft LifeCam webcams for emailing video postcards.

Adding to the social aspect of the new lobby design is a communal table at the room’s center that allows several groups of guests to work independently of one another within the same space, while game tables and oversized chairs encourage interaction or rest and relaxation. The hotel has attempted to surround guests by a distinct ambiance created through new sensory elements, including a clean “open air” scent, music, lighting and botanical designs.

Rooms at the Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel feature a 37” LCD flat panel television, oversized work desks and comfortable seating. The guest rooms also offer the signature Sheraton Sweet Sleeper bedding, which features a redesigned ensemble of all-white, 300 thread count pillowcases and sheets, and a new duvet.

Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel is also introducing a new health and fitness program, “Sheraton Fitness, Programmed by Core Performance”. Created in partnership with Core Performance, a training and lifestyle brand built by the experts who train professional athletes in every major sport, the program helps travelers train and eat healthy while on the road, as well as refresh, recharge and refocus their minds and bodies. The comprehensive offering features a state-of-the-art gym experience, healthy dining options, video on demand workouts and online training.

The hotel’s dining options include 15/Fifty, a vibrant three-meal restaurant offering contemporary American cuisine, Katie Mullen’s Irish Restaurant & Pub, one of the largest Irish dining experiences in Colorado, and the new 16MIX Cocktail Lounge located on the 16th Street pedestrian mall.

The extensive renovation is part of a $6 billion brand-wide global revitalization effort, which includes upgrading 100 hotels in the U.S., renovating 50,000 guest rooms and re-designing more than 100 new lobbies.
