Monday, 30 Jun, 2011 0

Gaylord Entertainment announced plans to develop an US$800 million resort and convention hotel in Aurora, Colo., less than ten minutes from Denver International Airport.

“The Aurora site will be located on 85 acres in LNR Property CPI Fund’s High Point Master Plan Development, and will feature breathtaking panoramic views of the Rocky Mountains. The company expects the resort to be open for business in mid-to-late 2015,” according to a Gaylord press release.

According to Gaylord’s research of major meetings markets, the Denver metropolitan market was rated a top ten destination by meeting planners and is one of the highest growth areas in the country.

The property is expected to initially feature:

  • 1,500 luxurious guest rooms
  • 400,000 square feet of exhibition and meeting space
  • A dramatic atrium setting offering panoramic views of the full Rocky Mountain vista, from Longs Peak down to Pikes Peak
  • Numerous hotel amenities found in other Gaylord properties
