Spend a Weekend at Colorado's Largest Hotel

DENVER, June 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel, Colorado's largest, is ideally located in the heart of downtown Denver for a weekend of fun and entertainment. The hotel, with over 1,200 guestrooms and suites, is located on Denver's world-famous 16th Street Mall, one of Colorado's top tourist attractions. Known as Denver's hub of shopping, dining and entertainment, "the Mall" stretches for 16 blocks in the heart of downtown.

Ride the free Mall shuttle to historic LoDo or Coors Field, home of the Colorado Rockies. Walk to the Colorado State Capitol, located at an altitude of 5,280 feet with a dome covered in 200 ounces of pure gold leaf, or stroll through Civic Center Park to the nearby Denver Art Museum complex to see Marvelous Mud, the museum's newest exhibit.  

The biggest decision of the weekend will be choosing from nearly 150 varieties of beers served in either the Yard House, Katie Mullen's Irish Restaurant & Pub or 16Mix Cocktail Lounge. Need some time to chill before the evening's entertainment? Relax in a cabana next to the hotel's outdoor heated rooftop pool.

Visit the Sheraton's concierge desk for tickets to a summer production at the nearby Denver Performing Arts Complex. With over 10,000 seats in eight theaters, the PLEX is the second largest theater complex under one roof in the country. This summer's productions include Rock of Ages, Dixie's Tupperware Party and the anniversary tour of Les Miserables.

Shopping is America's #1 pastime, and Sheraton guests can splurge at the nearby Denver Pavilions or historic Larimer Square. Looking for more stores? Rent a bike from Denver B-Cycle and pedal up Cherry Creek bike path to nearby Cherry Creek Shopping District, Colorado's largest shopping area.
