About the Ritz-Carlton Denver
The Ritz-Carlton Denver was finished in 1983. It stands 38 floors high and reaches about 390 feet (119 meters) into the sky. This makes it one of the tallest buildings in both Denver and the state of Colorado.
From Embassy Suites to Ritz-Carlton
When it first opened in 1983, the building was known as the Embassy Suites and Apartments at Denver Place. At that time, it was the second-tallest hotel building in Denver. The building had 337 hotel rooms, including many suites, operated by Embassy Suites. The top 17 floors of the building were used for apartments where people lived.
In 2005, the building started a big update. The lower hotel floors were changed into a Ritz-Carlton hotel. Some of the floors also became private homes, called condominiums. This big project was finished in early 2008. The new Ritz-Carlton hotel had its grand opening party on January 11, 2008.
