Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel Blog

The next time you book a meeting or event at the Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel, point out to your guests that they are spending time in an award-winning building that received the highest honors in the architecture community. Honors bestowed upon an architect who also designed the Louvre Pyramid in Paris, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, and other famous buildings throughout the world. How’s that for a distinctive and unique meeting venue?

The meetings and events sector has been receiving some considerable attention lately from the highest level of government. Why? A few weeks ago, the U.S. Travel Association launched a major year-long campaign – called “Vote Travel” – to raise awareness of the travel industry’s impact on the economy and build support for travel industry policy and advocacy, among other goals. As the largest hotel in Colorado with the most meeting space, the Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel is uniquely positioned to join the conversation and highlight the critical importance of meetings and conventions to the economy – which happens to be another objective of the “Vote Travel” campaign. For more details and to read our thoughts on the subject (GM Mike Ehmann’s to be specific, as he’s quoted!), check out the article below, which appeared in online news resource Hotel News Now on Feb. 9, 2012.
