DENVER
Denver’s Hotel Teatro has unveiled a new experiential design, reimagining the entire ground floor of the historic luxury property.
While preserving the original marble and architectural detail of the 1911 Tramway building, the AAA Four Diamond hotel has added a new, locally inspired restaurant, The Nickel; The Barrel Bar, featuring a curated barrel-aged cocktail program; a new lobby; and The Study, an open-space library lounge concept.
Now designated ‘The Study,’ the once formal dining space is now an all-day lounge featuring repurposed custom lighting, floor-to-ceiling bookshelves flanking a sandstone fireplace, custom curved wingback chairs and iron chandeliers that suspend from the tall coffered ceiling. Much of the custom metalwork featured is also locally sourced from artisans just outside of Telluride. Textural linens throughout the space include patina’d leather and striped wool, combined with nail head accents and rustic finishes, all chosen to reference the traditional Rocky Mountain artisanal aesthetic. Additionally, a large, etched wood mural highlights the custom-designed, wood and metal reception desks at check in.
The Study offers a space for an intimate breakfast; coffee, an impromptu happy hour or before and after the theater, where small bites, local craft beer and signature cocktails are the focus. The zinc Barista Bar features a new local coffee roasting program created by small-batch specialists Method Roasters. A collection of photographs is showcased above the Barista Bar depicting 250-year-old bottles that were once found in a North American river excavation. The images also reference the mercury-glass bottles that were collectively installed in the wall of small wooden cubicles that line one side of the Bar. Curated music lists play throughout the space, adding another element to the new experience at Teatro.
The Study starts serving at 6:30 a.m. and is open throughout the day.
Located in Downtown Denver, across from the Center for Performing Arts, the Hotel Teatro is owned and managed by DiNapoli Capital Partners, and features 110 guest rooms and suites in addition to about 5,500 square feet of function space.
