The Crawford Hotel

The Crawford Hotel will reveal a remarkable synthesis of public, private, past, and present at Denver's renovated Union Station when it opens in summer 2014. Steps from connection to light rail and Amtrak, the station's first floor will serve as the hotel's entrance and lobby while also featuring some of Denver's favorite locally owned restaurants—all providing room service for the 112 accommodations.

Upstairs, the second-floor rooms will evoke the heyday of private sleeping cars with a spacious modern twist; the third floor will provide a contemporary take on the building's 1881 roots; and the topmost floor promises trendy loft-style rooms inspired by the neighborhood. A block away, The Oxford Hotel will share its spa with guests, while the station itself will share its fitness center, shops, and 3,000 square feet of meeting space.
