Located at the former site of the historic Emily Griffith Opportunity School, the four-storey hotel adds 251 upscale guest rooms

Opening its doors on May 24, 2022, The Slate Denver, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, aims to bring a new style and experience to the Mile High City. Located at the former site of the historic Emily Griffith Opportunity School, the four-storey hotel adds 251 upscale guest rooms, literal old school-designed hallways, inspired meeting spaces and a restaurant, bar and lounge to downtown Denver. The hotel is across the street from the Colorado Convention Center and minutes from Denver Art Museum, Denver Botanic Gardens and Meow Wolf: Convergence Station among others.

“It’s been exciting to oversee the revitalisation of this historic property and we are honoured to have helped launch The Slate Hotel,” said Navin Dimond, Founder, CEO and Chairman of Stonebridge Companies. “Stonebridge has been part of the Denver community for more than 30 years now, and with the hotel’s opening, we pay tribute to the Mile High City’s past, present and future.”

“We’re beyond thrilled to welcome our first guests and introduce downtown Denver to a revitalised piece of the city’s history,” said Kirby Kiner, General Manager of The Slate Denver. “Since the project’s inception, we’ve worked hard to maintain the integrity of the hotel’s foundation to honour the legacy of the Emily Griffith Opportunity School and its vast impact on generations of Denver residents. In time for Teacher Appreciation Month, we, and our longtime partner Hilton, couldn’t think of a better time to open our doors and invite guests into our re-invented schoolhouse.”
