Can I walk from Denver hotels to the Colorado Convention Center?

Yes. All nine hotels on this list sit within 0.2 miles of the venue, a walk of three minutes or less. The Hyatt Regency, AC Hotel, Embassy Suites, Le Meridien, and Home2 Suites are the closest at 0.1 miles. No shuttle is needed for any hotel in this cluster.

How do I get from Denver International Airport to the Colorado Convention Center?

Take the RTD A Line train from DEN to Union Station (37 minutes, $10 each way). From Union Station, the free MallRide shuttle on 16th Street drops you one block north of the venue. Total trip runs roughly 50-55 minutes door to door. Navan travelers can also pre-book a rideshare through the app.

Is there parking at the Colorado Convention Center?

The convention center has a 772-space on-site garage, but capacity is currently reduced due to the ongoing expansion. Pre-book through SpotHero for $8-12 per day at nearby garages, compared to $15-35 at drive-up rates. The 1144 Glenarm Place Garage is the closest alternative at a 2-minute walk.

How far in advance should I book a hotel near Colorado Convention Center?

For major conventions with 10,000-plus attendees, book 4-6 weeks ahead to secure your preferred property. Navan's booking data shows Denver convention hotels within walking distance sell out faster than in comparably sized cities because the cluster is so compact. During smaller events, 1-2 weeks is usually sufficient.

Do any hotels near Colorado Convention Center include breakfast?

Five of the nine hotels on this list include complimentary breakfast: Embassy Suites, Home2 Suites, Hyatt Place, Hyatt House, and Hampton Inn. At typical Denver breakfast prices of $15-25 per person, that saves $75-125 over a five-day convention stay. Navan travelers can filter for breakfast-included properties during booking.

Which loyalty programs are represented near Colorado Convention Center?

The nine hotels span three major programs: Hilton Honors (Embassy Suites, Home2 Suites, The Slate, Hampton Inn), World of Hyatt (Hyatt Regency, Hyatt Place, Hyatt House), and Marriott Bonvoy (AC Hotel, Le Meridien). Convention attendees can earn and redeem points at every property on this list.

Is light rail running to the Colorado Convention Center?

The Theatre District/Convention Center station provides direct light rail access. Starting June 7, 2026, RTD is suspending the D, H, and L lines for the Downtown Rail Reconstruction Project through Q1 2027. During construction, the reinstated C Line and temporary T Line serve as substitutes. Check the RTD Next Ride app before your trip.
