Located in the Cherry Creek North neighborhood of Denver, Colorado, on the site of the former U.S. Post Office at 245 Columbine Street, The Halcyon Hotel is a 7-story, luxury boutique hotel featuring 155 guest rooms, restaurants, and 5,900 square feet of retail space. A generous amenity package includes a rooftop pool with food and beverage service, state-of-the-art meeting and event space, fitness center, and two levels of subgrade valet parking. Originally conceived as an office project, the project went through a big design change.
The structure is cast-in-place concrete with post-tensioned slabs. Shear walls and slab column frame resist wind loads. Full story height transfer beams allowed for wide open space in the 2nd floor ballroom.
