DENVER
One of Denver's most iconic structures, the historic Colorado National Bank building, will transform into the new Renaissance Denver Downtown City Center in late 2013. The hotel will feature 230 guestrooms, 6,000 square feet of meeting space and Range, an original concept restaurant and bar, serving locally purveyed cuisine with a Western flair.
Showcasing a series of 16 original murals from the renowned western muralist Allen Tupper True, the property maintains historic elements from the building's initial construction in the early 20th century.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, The Colorado National Bank building was designed by famed Denver architects William and Arthur Fisher. It was originally erected as a four-story building in 1915 on the corner of 17th & Champa Streets in downtown Denver, an area deemed the "Wall Street of the Rockies." The building's neoclassic, Greek Revival architecture is highlighted in its towering white exterior columns and walls, created with marble from the Colorado Yule Marble Company, the same marble that was also being used the year it was built to erect the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.
