The proposed Embassy Suites/Homewood Suites tower is planned for the corner of 14th and Stout on Block 138 across from the Colorado Convention Center. The project was originally envisioned in 2005 as only an Embassy Suites hotel in a 27-story tower on the small parcel between the historic Motor Hotel garage and 14th Street. Since then, the project has been modified to cover the vacant parcel at the corner and the entire Motor Hotel garage property (which will be razed) and the addition of a Homewood Suites hotel with a reconfiguration of the building into a twin-tower design of 20-stories each, connected with a soaring glass atrium lobby for both hotels.
Here’s the proposed design (click and expand to view at full size):
What a great addition this will make to an area dominated by surface parking lots! Hopefully, the project is still on track and we’ll see the parking garage razed soon and construction on the hotels starting this summer.
