Denver approves $900,000 contract with DIA hotel consultant
The Denver City Council has approved a $900,000 contract to oversee the Denver International Airport hotel, which is scheduled to open late next year.
A DIA spokeswoman told The Denver Post the contract with Capital Hotel Management was needed because "as first-time hotel owners, it would be prudent to have the services of seasoned hotel experts during the initial years of operation. We believe that hiring a consultant with great experience in this area will help ensure the success of the new Westin Denver International Airport well into the future."
The 519-room hotel is owned by Denver, but will be operated by Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide, the parent company of Westin.
