Four
Seasons Hotel Denver Set to Open in Fall 2010
June
16, 2010: Forty-five stories above the busy sidewalks and historic buildings of
14th Street soars a new beacon of light and modern urban life that invites one
to stay, dine and play – or even live – at the new Four
Seasons Hotel Denver.
Opening this fall, the 239-room
Hotel is located where Denver’s theatre and business districts meet at the
edge of the Lower Downtown "LoDo" neighbourhood. It offers the city’s
most desirable location for meetings and events, its newest dining and social
hotspot, sleek and contemporary accommodations, and a resort-style rooftop pool
and spa oasis, all with sweeping views of the city and mountains beyond.
“As
a new resident of Denver, I’m continually discovering the many personalities
of this incredible city,” notes Thierry Kennel, general manager of Four Seasons
Hotel Denver. “Denver has a chic urban cultural and culinary scene, high-energy
business community, passionate sports fans, and jam-packed social calendar –
and Four Seasons Hotel Denver will be at the heart of it all.”
Destination:
Denver
Known as the Mile High city due to its elevation above
sea level, Denver stands at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, positioning it as
both a central destination and a gateway to the state’s mountain resorts
and other urban destinations. With 200 city parks and 300 days of sunshine each
year, it’s a city that beckons one outdoors. With its lively performing arts
scene, 10 professional sports teams, the famed Denver Zoo, trendy boutiques and
shopping, a variety of al fresco dining, and the nearby Colorado Convention Center,
Denver is a premier destination and Four Seasons Hotel Denver is the ideal choice
for travellers and locals alike to experience the region.
For
the first time ever, Denverites and visitors to the region will experience the
dedicated, personalised service that Four Seasons is renowned for the world over.
Whether it’s a romantic weekend stay, an important business meeting, a family
adventure that takes in the zoo and a game, or the simple pleasures of an afternoon
of spa and poolside relaxation, every detail is anticipated by the Hotel’s
team, comprised of more than 250 staff members. And for those who choose Four
Seasons as their permanent address, 102 Residences offer a relaxed pied-à-terre,
fully serviced by Four Seasons staff.
Denver’s Newest
Culinary Destination
With its prime location on Arapahoe Street,
featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and an outdoor patio, the Restaurant and bar
at Four Seasons Hotel Denver will be the city’s newest see-and-be-seen social
destination. Executive Chef Simon Purvis and his team are spending the summer
hunting down local sources of seasonal ingredients and preparing for the steakhouse
restaurant’s opening. Menus will be complemented by selections of local microbrews
and interesting varietals from Colorado’s local wineries, with many wines
offered by the glass.
An Oasis of Wellness, Relaxation and
Fitness
Denver was recently named one of America’s top
10 fittest cities by the American College of Sport Medicine and Shape magazine.
Four Seasons Hotel Denver will help travellers stay in shape on the road at the
2,500-square-foot (232-square-metre) Fitness Centre, which showcases views of
the outdoor pool terrace through floor-to-ceiling windows. A separate movement
studio offering yoga and other fitness classes will also be available to guests.
Travellers and locals alike will also have access to a
full-service, destination spa. The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Denver will offer
more than 9,000 square feet (836 square metres) dedicated to healing and rejuvenation
therapies in 10 gemstone-themed treatment rooms.
The third-floor
Fitness Centre and Spa open up to an urban rooftop playground, with an inviting
pool and whirlpool, plush deckchairs and Four Seasons attendants offering light
fare and cocktails. Lush landscaping will feature more than 60 indigenous trees,
including aspen, juniper and pear. The pool edging and steps will be made of Colorado
buff sandstone for a slightly rustic, natural feel. Seasonal flowers will complete
the landscape.
The Spa will be open to Hotel guests and residents,
as well as day visitors, who will also have access to the Pool when booking spa
services.
The Place Where Denver Will Come Together
Conveniently
located on a single floor of the Hotel, 17,000 square feet (1,579 square metres)
of meetings and event spaces are now available for booking at Four Seasons Hotel
Denver, and can be used for business functions, parties and social events, such
as weddings and charity galas. The 5,200-square-foot (483-square-metre) Grand
Ballroom can accommodate up to 350 people and features a large pre-function space,
while the more intimate Cottonwood Room can accommodate up to 240 people, and
a series of smaller rooms are ideal for up to 90 people.
For
something completely different, Four Seasons invites event attendees to step outside
onto the Hotel’s third-floor landscaped pool deck for an open-air reception.
Those who desire a more private space may book the third-floor Executive Boardroom,
discreetly removed from the main function spaces and public areas of the Hotel.
Four
Seasons Private Residences
“If only we could live here”
is the often-heard sigh of guests leaving Four Seasons at the end of their stay
– but now people in Denver actually can. The Hotel’s highest floors
have been reserved for Four Seasons Private Residences, which include 102 one-
to four-bedroom homes, each fully appointed with kitchens, baths and living areas
with panoramic city and mountain views. The best part? Residents have full access
to all the facilities, services and staff of Four Seasons Hotel Denver, including
housekeeping and valet; use of the Spa, Fitness Centre and Pool; signing privileges
at the Hotel’s restaurant; and a dedicated concierge.
