The Westin Denver International Airport has completed its first phase of a $25 million renovation, reopening 37,000 square feet of meeting and event space.
The project gave a face-lift to all 24 event spaces, including 21 meeting rooms, two ballrooms and a 10,000-square-foot foyer and pre-function area designed for networking and large gatherings.
The refreshed spaces feature floor-to-ceiling windows with mountain views, new furnishings, LED lighting, and integrated greenery intended to bring more natural elements into the interior environment.
“Our goal with this transformation was to create meeting environments that feel intuitive, flexible, and deeply connected to place,” said Kurtis Hanson, general manager of the Westin Denver International Airport.
“As we mark 10 years, this investment reflects both the strength of the Denver market and our commitment to providing planners and attendees with spaces that support productivity, well-being, and meaningful connection.”

The property’s largest venue, the Spruce Ballroom, can accommodate up to 850 guests. It anchors the hotel’s conference and event offerings alongside another ballroom and a network of breakout rooms used for workshops, training sessions, and executive meetings.
Sustainability upgrades were also incorporated into the renovation, including Axminster carpets made from an 80% wool blend in the event spaces. The hotel’s announcement said additional upgrades tied to energy efficiency, water conservation and responsible sourcing are planned as part of the broader renovation project.
The multi-phase transformation is expected to be completed in Spring 2027 and will include updates to guestrooms, lobby, dining outlets, fitness facilities and public spaces.
In 2025, Denver International Airport ranked as the fourth busiest airport in the country, and the Westin, at 8300 Peña Blvd., continues to be the only full-service hotel with direct access to DIA’s Jeppesen Terminal.
Westin Hotels and Resorts is a global hospitality business under Marriott International, which acquired the brand in 2016 after its acquisition of Starwood Hotels and Resorts.
