Holiday Inn has opened its first newly built hotel featuring the brand’s fully reimagined lobby concept, debuting at Holiday Inn & Suites Commerce City–Denver Airport.

The property marks a major milestone in Holiday Inn’s evolution, blending the comfort and reliability the brand is known for with a refreshed, more intuitive guest experience.

The new hotel showcases Holiday Inn’s latest lobby design, where the front desk, ordering counter and full‑service bar sit together as a single connected hub — a layout created to streamline arrivals and reflect how travellers move through public spaces today . The opening comes as the brand continues to hold its position as the #1 Most Trusted U.S. Travel & Hospitality Brand for the sixth consecutive year, according to Morning Consult Intelligence.

Located less than ten minutes from Denver International Airport, the 106‑room hotel offers a complimentary shuttle and easy access to major employers, healthcare institutions, youth sports facilities and Denver‑area attractions . Inside, the design centres on flexible, multi‑purpose spaces that allow guests to gather, work or relax, with adaptable meeting areas and dedicated catering options for groups and events.

Guestrooms feature clearly defined zones for work, rest and sleep, including dedicated workspaces, lounge seating, blackout shades and high‑quality bedding . Additional amenities include an outdoor patio with fire pit, indoor heated pool, 24‑hour fitness centre, EV charging, complimentary Wi‑Fi and free coffee throughout the day.

Dining has also been elevated. Guests can enjoy an enhanced breakfast buffet, dinner at Mile High Landing, and a full‑service bar designed as an all‑day space to eat, drink, work and unwind. The evening menu focuses on classic American dishes and handcrafted cocktails, while Holiday Inn’s iconic Kids Stay and Eat Free benefit remains in place.

As Holiday Inn approaches its 75th anniversary, the brand says the new Denver‑area hotel reflects its commitment to modernising design and guest experience while staying true to its long‑standing reputation for comfort and hospitality. More new‑builds featuring the updated lobby concept are already on the horizon, including the upcoming Holiday Inn Fort Worth – Fossil Creek.
