Sage Hospitality and BMC Investments Open Newly-Built Halcyon, A Hotel in Cherry Creek, Colorado
CHERRY CREEK, CO. August 10, 2016 - Sage Hospitality and BMC Investments announce the opening of HALCYON, a hotel in Cherry Creek, an independent concept in Cherry Creek North, the luxury shopping district of Denver. The 154-room hotel welcomes guests to an experience of premier accommodations, locally curated programming and partnerships, Departure Elevated - a rooftop bar, accompanying pool and two restaurant concepts - Departure Restaurant + Lounge and Quality Italian. Unhooked from the ordinary in all the best ways, Halcyon is luxury served on the unassuming side.
Well-appointed, inviting, and modern - Halcyon effortlessly combines the ease of Colorado's lifestyle with the top-notch service and grace of a great hotel. “Halcyon is that friend's incredible house in Colorado you've always wanted to visit,” said General Manager, Cindy Bedan. “Guests who enter our hotel will feel the cultured comfort of the neighborhood and we could not be more excited to bring these elements of Cherry Creek's character to life for all to enjoy.”
Halcyon captures the spirit of the treasured Colorado lifestyle in one of Denver's chicest neighborhoods surrounded by world-class shopping and dining. Guests will enjoy cultivated experiences by local partners such as BLOOM by Anuschka, Pura Vida Fitness and Spa, A Line Boutique, and more. The unique, on-site Gear Garage amenity program, allows guests to dive into the destination of Denver through hands-on learning of various skills and immersive adventures on a complimentary basis. Guests can borrow an e-bike for the day and cruise down the Cherry Creek Bike Path to local breweries or hop on a Halcyon Vespa to catch a Rockies game or a meeting downtown. Led by ambassadors of the local experience named Halcyon Hosts, Gear Garage will continue to evolve with seasonal updates, and each individual guest's profile, truly embodying the art of the adventure.
“There has not been a new hotel built in this neighborhood for more than 13 years and there was a distinct need for a modern luxury, independent hotel that truly evokes everything that is Cherry Creek,” said Matt Joblon, principal and CEO of BMC Investments. “This part of Denver is evolving so fast in so many positive ways, that it needed a hotel like this as an anchor.”
The guestrooms and suites offer an original blend of well-wrought design and welcoming gravitas, along with stylish simplicity and textured comforts. Each room infuses Colorado's atmospheric charm with natural elements and riffs on the American West. From the spectacular bed to the turntable in the corner and all the touches you would expect from the comfort of a luxury home, the devil is in the details at Halcyon.
As an urban retreat and a first in Cherry Creek North, Halcyon's rooftop bar, Departure Elevated, and accompanying pool offers an escape from the world below, and a new look at the sky above. To further the extraordinary poolside experience, full-service, luxury cabanas are available upon reservation. The expansive rooftop lounge is the new hotspot for guests and locals to delight in cocktails, and cuisine while cooling off from the Colorado sun.
Within the hotel, guests and locals can indulge in Halcyon's two distinctive culinary concepts - Departure Restaurant + Lounge and Quality Italian. Denver's newest modern Asian kitchen created by Sage Restaurant Group, Departure takes guests on a global dining adventure in a space as daring yet harmonious as its cuisine. Quality Italian will be a modern take on the Italian-American steakhouse tradition. It references the flavors, style and tableside flair of this classic genre with unique design and food that appeals to today's diner. Quality Italian is set to open later in 2016.
Unique to Halcyon, guests will also have access to the Kitchen Counter. Replacing your standard check-in desk, the Kitchen Counter is equipped with hosts trained to assist with everything from daily guest arrivals to serving an Intelligentsia espresso beverage. Similar to visiting your friend's home, guests are encouraged to stop by the Kitchen Counter and find comfort in a taste of the latest libations, be it a preferred local beer or a sought after wine, or sweet and savory bites - it's all included in the guest's stay. The hyper-local and hyper-exclusive products of the Kitchen Counter will be ever evolving.
