Denver,
CO – February 2015 / Newsmaker Alert / Jim Finnegan, regional manager
for Magnolia
Hotel Denver, announces the property has started a multimillion-dollar
renovation designed to meet the needs of today’s business and leisure traveler.
More standard sized guest rooms will be added to the property along with
a dedicated Presidential Suite as well as a refreshed look and feel to
the guest room design and décor. Additional back-of-the-house enhancements
also will be made to better accommodate guests’ food and beverage needs.
“The
Denver hotel market continues to get more and more competitive each year
and we wanted to make the enhancements our guests and the marketplace require,”
said Finnegan. “Magnolia Hotel Denver has always been a favorite among
business travelers during the week and leisure guests on the weekends.
We are excited about this renovation because we believe it’s going to position
the property more as a four-diamond hotel which will compete directly with
the new hotels that have recently opened in downtown Denver.”
The
hotel is adding 51 standard guest rooms by splitting some of the existing
suites. The hotel was originally designed as an extended stay hotel so
there are numerous large suites with full kitchens and living rooms. The
downtown Denver market has shifted from extended stay so the property is
modifying its room categories and design to reflect this change.
In
addition, one large, master Presidential Suite will be created on the 12th
floor. The two-bedroom suite will be the largest on property with its own
distinctive design. The suite will feature a beautiful, hand-crafted wood
floor with custom wool rugs, a solid oak dining table that seats 12 with
white leather chairs, a fireplace, two full bathrooms, a marble kitchen
and expansive views of the surrounding area. When the renovation is completed,
Magnolia Hotel Denver will offer 297 rooms – three new boardroom suites,
a Presidential Suite, 196 king guestrooms, 44 rooms with two queen beds
and 53 suites, 24 of which have fireplaces.
Finnegan
also noted that the hotel remains open during the renovation and the construction
schedule has been designed to ensure the restoration does not impact the
guest experience. “We are taking rooms out of the reservations system floor
by floor, three floors at a time to make sure the renovation has little
to no impact on guests staying at the hotel between now and September,”
said Finnegan. The renovation is slated for completion September 2015.
Jim
Staicoff of Portland-based Staicoff Design Company oversaw the new interiors
of the property.

Hotel Denver is located in what was formerly the American National Bank
Building. The property was originally restored to reflect its original
appearance with terra cotta details and a replicated corner clock adorns

1995, is located in the heart of downtown Denver with easy access to the
Colorado Convention Center, Pepsi Center, Coors Field, shopping and entertainment
along the 16th Street Mall, as well as many other local attractions and
businesses.
