Hilton Garden Inn Denver/Cherry Creek reflagged and renovated

Denver, CO  (January 4, 2010) - Englewood-based  Stonebridge Companies has completed a new Denver/Cherry  Creek venture to restore and revive a structure familiar  to anyone who drives Colorado Boulevard, a major  north/south traffic artery in metro Denver. For the  newly flagged Hilton Garden Inn Denver/Cherry Creek, the  multi-million dollar project goal was to completely gut  and rebuild the eight-story former Cherry Creek Inn, and  the finished product opened new doors for business on  December 31, 2009.

The new Hilton Garden Inn  Denver/Cherry Creek offers amenities for the full  spectrum of travelers. It has 210 stylish, comfortable  guest rooms, 4,200 square feet of meeting space, a full  service restaurant, and 11,000 square feet of retail  space. Guests will enjoy complimentary on-site parking,  room service, HD flat screen televisions, complimentary  in-room coffee and tea, microwaves and refrigerators,  and the Hilton Garden Sleep system. In addition to the  new hotel rooms, there is an indoor pool, hot tub and  state-of-the-art exercise facility. The property is  within easy walking distance to the upscale Cherry Creek  Mall and the diverse attractions of the Cherry Creek  area in general. Also close by is the still-developing  Infinity Park, with its impressive rugby stadium and  events center.

Business travelers will  appreciate the complimentary wireless high-speed  internet access, secure guest remote printing, Herman  Miller Mirra chairs and a 24 hour complimentary Business  Center. Downtown Denver is easily accessible from this  Hilton Garden Inn, sitting at the intersection of  Colorado Boulevard and Cherry Creek Drive. The glass  storefronts for the restaurants and the retail center  all face Colorado Boulevard, and include three  well-recognized eateries that will open mid-February and  March in the retail space on the ground floor. Café Rio  will open its first Colorado location, featuring fresh  made dishes from the Rio Grande region of the Southwest.  Garbanzo Mediterranean Grill will offer hummus, falafel,  chicken, and steak shwarmas, also using only fresh  ingredients. And well-known Panera Bread will serve  sandwiches, soups and salads on their handmade, artisan,  freshly baked breads. The Great American Grill has been  chosen to be the in-house signature  restaurant.

Stonebridge Companies develops and  operates some 6,000 hotel rooms in properties scattered  across the country and with brands easily recognized by  travelers such as Sheraton, Marriott, Embassy Suites and  Hampton Inn, among others. The Cherry Creek Hotel was  purchased from Starwood Hotels & Resorts about two  years ago. “It’s  everything you look for in real estate,” observed  Stonebridge President Navin C. Dimond. “The building is  high profile and it’s on a great corner. The hotel has  performed well in years past, but it was time for a  thorough reinvention. Interest in the retail space was  probably three or four times more than what we  expected,” Dimond said, and credited the property’s  location and the desirability of the hotel brand. The  hotel renovation is the first of a two-phase, mixed use  development of this location.

The Hilton Garden  Inn Denver/Cherry Creek opened on December 31, 2009, at  600 South Colorado Boulevard, Denver, CO, 80246. View  details online at www.denvercherrycreek.hgi.com
