Led by the Simeone Deary Design Group, Le Méridien takes shape with the clean lines of mid-century modern design. The interiors feature a cool and refreshing color palette complemented with creative and inspiring works of art.

The property features artwork curated by Denver-based firm, NINE dot ARTS, and created by local artists inspired by the property’s European influence and the Rocky Mountains.

In the lobby, guests are instantly greeted by the one-of-a-kind artwork installations, constructed with vintage pieces reassembled into contemporary sculptural art. 

Upon checking in, take a look up at the hand-painted Marie Antoinette mosaic portraits by local artist Jonathan Saiz that line the wall behind the reception desk. Turn around and you will notice the spiraling staircase anchored by the most-Instagrammed chandelier with stunning glass details that seem to float in the air.

The culinary and cocktail scenes come alive in artful ways with the hotel’s three distinct dining and cocktail options. Its signature restaurant, Corinne, is located on the ground floor and serves classic American comfort food with an emphasis on locally-sourced ingredients. Hand-crafted cocktails are served at the restaurant’s bar to compliment any meal.

Next to Corinne is The Lobbyist, Le Méridien’s sparkling cocktail lounge and social space that welcomes guests with French-inspired experiences. Continuing with the French theme, the lobby also hosts the state’s first and only Moët & Chandon champagne vending machine. The perfect way to cheers to the end of a good night.

Last, but not least, is 54thirty, the city’s highest open-air bar. Situated on the 20th floor, the bar offers unparalleled views of the city and the Rocky Mountains. Leading to the outdoor experience at 54thirty, ski lift chairs and ski lodge murals, complete with cloud-covered lighting, greet guests as they make their way to the rooftop. It’s the perfect stop for an Insta-worthy photo.
