After a $15 million renovation, the Doubletree Denver Tech Center at 7801 E. Orchard Rd., is welcoming business and leisure travelers.

This landmark building, formerly known as the Hotel Denver Tech Center, remains an icon, transformed by Stonebridge Companies, owner and operator of a hospitality management and development company for Hilton Hotels, Marriott International and Starwood Hotels and Resorts.

For the Denver-based Stonebridge Companies, deciding on the right brand for each marketplace is an art. “We felt that the upscale Doubletree brand was an excellent fit for the area,” says Navin C. Dimond, president and CEO of Stonebridge Companies.

“This property will be a hot-spot in the Denver Tech Center. It has been re-imagined and re-designed with a smart collision of colors and influences that fill the hotel with energy and liveliness inside and out.

“The bright, modern design creates a new kind of casual luxury.”

The hotel will cater to convention attendees, business travelers and leisure travelers.

Features at this full-service, 305-room property include the Sweet Dreams sleep experience in every room: a custom-designed mattress, jumbo down pillows and luxurious linens.

Each guestroom has a crisp interior design in vivid hues and is outfitted with a 37-inch LCD television and granite finishes in the completely refurbished bathrooms.

Meeting and banquet facilities feature state-of-the-art technology and 20,000 sq. ft. of space available in various configurations. The focal point is the 6,600-sq. ft. Citrus Ballroom.

Guests will enter the hotel via the transformed porte cochere that will soon be accented by a steel, rectangular sculpture by local artist Ed Dwight.

The lobby is filled with eclectic furnishings, while an invigorating atrium boasts bold colors and geometric designs.
