The sustainably-designed (LEED-Gold) Hotel and Transit Center connect travelers from the airport to downtown and the hotel provides unparalleled views of the Rocky Mountains and the original Jeppesen terminal. These elements comprise a single, integrated, iconic addition to DEN’s Jeppesen Terminal. One look at the design and resulting product proves the delivery execution of this swooping form of steel and glass is without a doubt a true engineering and construction marvel.Ī realization of part of DEN’s original 1989 master plan, DEN’s new Hotel and Transit Center (HTC) project include three key elements: a 519-key Westin hotel and conference center an 82,000 square foot plaza and a public transit center that connects the new RTD commuter rail line to the airport.
And also forget the required myriad security and FAA clearances and other logistical challenges of building at an active airport. Forget for a moment the number of stakeholders and the high-profile nature of the development. Forget that it had to remain open with no disruption to 24x7 operations during the construction of a $579 million project. Forget for a moment the fact that Denver International Airport (DEN) is the 15th-busiest airport in the world and the fifth-busiest airport in the United States.
