The curved glass building bridges the terminal and the rail platform, turning an airport layover into an architectural stay.
What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The rooms are contemporary in style, with a bit of a nod to the space-age aesthetic of the early days of jet travel.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The outdoor plaza connects directly to the terminal, and commuter trains downstairs reach downtown Denver in thirty minutes.
The rooms
Triple-glazed acoustic windows seal out runway noise, and wide panes look across the airfield toward the distant Rocky Mountains.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
Pool and hot tub
The heated lap pool fills a sunlit room lined with loungers, and the circular whirlpool looks across the plains.
The gym
Stationary bikes and treadmills face curved glass walls looking directly across at the terminal's peaked tent roof.
At the table
Grill & Vine serves regional cooking along its bar counter, and Ingredients pours coffee beside wide airfield windows.
How it began

Architecture firm Gensler shaped the building like hovering wings, dipping in the center to mirror the adjacent terminal's white peaks.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
