A new independent hotel is coming to the corner of 25th and Larimer in Denver’s River North district.
Developed by Gravitas Development Group, the Ramble Hotel will feature 50 rooms in a three-story building designed by Johnson Nathan Strohe that recalls an early 20th century industrial style with intricate metal and brick detailing.
The ground floor lobby will have 20-foot ceilings and include a marquee cocktail bar, Death & Company Denver, which will also operate a reservations-only bar on the mezzanine level. Other hotel amenities include an intimate theater, an independent restaurant, a small retail outlet, flexible meeting space, and an outdoor courtyard. Right across 25th Street from the hotel is another Gravitas development, a mixed-use retail and office project made out of 29 reclaimed shipping containers.
Construction started about a week ago. Here are a couple of photos from today:
The Ramble Hotel should open in late 2017.
It’s a good looking building and should be a great contribution to the neighborhood. I’m just disappointed that, except the building fronting Broadway, they tore down the rest of them to build a parking lot. That is a step backwards.
What building was torn down? Any photos?
It was a small building that Gravitas had repurposed a few years ago as a restaurant/retail space. You can view it on Google Street View.
It seems like a pretty nondescript one-story brick building.
I understand there will be a very cool Speakeasy in the new Hotel.
The planned parking lot is being developed by a different company than the Ramble Hotel project.
So 25th a& Larimer is part of “RINO” now? I just cannot keep track of all these neighborhood names the developers are making up and constantly redefining.
I really like the concept design for this though; that ~1910s-1940s brick and glass industrial type is one of my favorite styles and very nostalgic for me. If Old Denver is going to be replaced by an urban playground for young professionals from out of state, we might as well get some decent architecture out of it!
Fantastic looking building! I wish more projects would use timeless design like this, especially in LoDo rather than trying to make modern buildings “fit in” with the historic architecture, which they almost never do…
