The Denver Marriott at Gateway Park project consisted of a full interior renovation of an active hospitality property, executed in carefully planned phases to minimize disruption to guests and hotel operations while transforming nearly all guest- and staff-facing spaces.
The flooring scope included the installation of carpet and tile systems throughout high-traffic and public-facing areas, including the hotel entrance, lobby, meeting and event spaces, 3,000 SF fitness center, and lobby Starbucks. Each space required a tailored approach to meet both aesthetic and performance requirements associated with a modern, full-service Marriott property.
Recently acquired by Stonebridge Companies, the hotel renovation was part of a broader modernization effort focused on enhancing guest experience, improving operational flow, and updating amenities. Interior renovations included redesigned ground-level floor plans, upgraded finishes, and raised ceiling heights to create a more open and inviting atmosphere.
