The Le Meridien and AC Marriot dual-branded hotel offers 495 rooms within its 20-story cast-in-place structure located in downtown Denver.  Le Meridien provides 272 keys and its own lobby with a custom-built staircase, all designed to reflect its sense of place in urban Denver. The lobby itself creates a social gathering location named The Hub which features the brand’s award-winning arrival experience and coffee culture. The high-end, select-service, 223-key AC Marriott Hotel is a newer brand from Marriott that has found its way to the United States from Europe. The AC marries European sophistication with approachable design with a distinctly urban feel while remaining consistent with its own brand standards. Being a dual-branded hotel totaling 265,100 square feet, each flag offers its own entrance, lobby, bar and high-end rooms finished to appeal to its target guest. Shared spaces on Level 2 include 12,000 square feet of meeting space, 5,700 square feet of ballroom space, five breakout rooms and a commercial kitchen divided into two areas: one supporting the restaurant and bars, the other dedicated to banquet services. The top level houses the highest open-air roof-top bar in Denver, named 54thirty, as well as the hotel fitness center. A below-grade level provides space for back-of-house functions, including laundry rooms, staff locker rooms, managers’ office and MEP equipment rooms.
