The Source Hotel | Denver, Colorado | USA
Where Industrial Heritage Meets Denver’s Creative Spirit
Why DNA Hotels Loves It
● A beautifully restored 1880s foundry seamlessly combined with contemporary architecture and one of Denver’s most vibrant artisan market halls.
● Industrial interiors softened by handcrafted local design, panoramic mountain views, and beautifully understated guestrooms.
● A destination where craft beer, independent food concepts, rooftop cocktails, and creative energy all come together under one roof.
From Foundry to Creative Hub
Long before it became one of Denver’s most exciting hotels, The Source was an 1880s brick foundry at the heart of the city’s industrial district. Today, the historic building has been transformed into a lively marketplace filled with independent restaurants, artisan producers, cafés, and local retailers, while a striking contemporary hotel rises alongside it. Rather than separating old and new, the two buildings function as one. Patios, walkways, and bridges encourage guests to move effortlessly between hotel, market hall, brewery, and rooftop, creating an atmosphere that feels more like a creative neighborhood than a conventional hotel.
Industrial Design with Colorado Warmth
The architecture embraces its industrial heritage without becoming overly rugged. Exposed concrete, steel, brick, and oversized factory-style windows are balanced by warm Baltic birch joinery, handcrafted furniture by Denver makers Winter Session, landscaped courtyards, and abundant natural light. Large glass façades frame both the city skyline and the Rocky Mountains, constantly reminding guests of Colorado’s remarkable landscape. The result is clean, contemporary, and unmistakably local.
Rooms Designed Around the View
The 100 guestrooms continue the same restrained design language. Concrete floors, custom wood furnishings, Revival New York linens, handcrafted benches, oversized windows, and Malin + Goetz amenities create spaces that feel calm, functional, and quietly luxurious. Many rooms overlook the landscaped courtyard, while others frame downtown Denver or the snow-capped Front Range beyond. The Skyline Suite offers the ultimate experience, featuring generous living space, a wet bar, bespoke furnishings, Calico wallpaper, and a freestanding Japanese soaking tub positioned perfectly for sunset views across the mountains.
Craft Beer at the Heart of the Experience
Beer is woven into the identity of The Source. New Belgium Brewing operates a brewery inside the market hall, complete with a ten-barrel brewing system producing experimental beers alongside its classics. Guests can begin their stay with a freshly poured local brew before even reaching their room. It’s a fitting introduction to one of America’s great craft beer cities.
A Rooftop Above Denver
High above the market hall sits The Woods, the hotel’s rooftop restaurant and bar. With its outdoor pool, expansive terrace, and panoramic views across downtown Denver toward the Rocky Mountains, it has become one of the city’s favorite places for breakfast, sunset cocktails, or a relaxed evening around the fire. Whether you’re swimming, dining, or simply watching the light change across the peaks, the rooftop perfectly captures Colorado’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
The Creative Side of Denver
Located in Denver’s RiNo (River North) Arts District, The Source places guests in one of the city’s most dynamic neighborhoods. Street art, independent galleries, breweries, cafés, creative studios, and innovative restaurants surround the hotel, reflecting the area’s transformation from industrial warehouse district into one of America’s leading creative communities. It’s the ideal base for discovering Denver beyond the traditional downtown attractions.
Why It Works
The Source Hotel perfectly reflects the city around it. By combining historic industrial architecture with thoughtful contemporary design, locally crafted interiors, exceptional food and drink, and spectacular mountain views, it creates a hotel that feels authentic, energetic, and unmistakably Denver. Equal parts boutique hotel, artisan marketplace, brewery, and neighborhood gathering place, The Source captures Colorado’s creative spirit with remarkable confidence.
