Denver International Airport's (DEN) Hotel and Transit Center Program completes the original vision for the airport and is the first investment in DIA's Airport City initiative.
The new Hotel and Transit Center is made up of three independent, yet physically integrated projects, which include design and construction of:
- The 519-room Westin Hotel at Denver International Airport, which features all the amenities needed for the modern traveler and includes a 26,000-square-foot conference center that holds up to 2,500 people
- A public transit center serving the new East Rail Line, a commuter rail line connecting Denver International Airport to downtown Denver in about 35 minutes, as well as all Regional Transportation District (RTD) buses serving the airport
- A public plaza, Denver’s newest venue for programs and events where passengers and visitors can find entertainment, relaxation, art and restaurants
DEN’s Hotel and Transit Center was built by MHS, a tri-venture of three leading contractors, Mortenson, Hunt & Saunders.
