Denver’s downtown scene just got a serious dose of playful rebellion. The Curtis, the Mile High City’s pop culture playground, is in the thick of a multimillion-dollar glow-up, set to wrap in late spring 2025. We’re itching to check out the upgrades soon—think 15 hyperthemed floors, revamped guest rooms, suites, and meeting spaces dripping with vibrant art, nostalgia, and a vibe that’s anything but ordinary. This isn’t just a hotel stay; it’s a full-on adventure for art junkies, nostalgia nerds, and anyone who’s still a kid at heart.

Picture this: elevator doors sliding open to floors like Camp Curtis, where wood grain, plaid, and faux animal heads channel sleepaway camp vibes, complete with a suite starring a glow-in-the-dark starry sky. Or Knock on Wood on the 13th floor, leaning into quirky superstition with a wink. Every room’s loaded with curated art, themed gear, and interactive games tied to its floor’s story— immersive doesn’t even cover it. The suites? They crank the cinematic dial to 11, pulling you straight into the theme like you’re living in a movie set.

The Curtis isn’t stopping at rooms. Their meeting and event spaces are ditching the beige boardroom snooze-fest for candy-striped walls, bold patterns, and color-blocked corridors that scream creativity. It’s a spot for thinkers who want their brainstorming sessions to feel like a party. Sage Studio, the in-house visionaries behind the overhaul, are keeping the hotel’s “Stay Happy” ethos alive, making sure every corner sparks joy—or at least a good story.

We’re counting the days until we can step into this reimagined icon. The Curtis isn’t just a place to crash—it’s a portal to play, and Denver’s about to get a lot happier.
