Holiday Inn by IHG Opens First New-Build Featuring Reimagined Lobby Design Near Denver Airport

Holiday Inn by IHG, one of the world’s largest and most recognized hospitality brands, announces the opening of Holiday Inn & Suites Commerce City-Denver Airport in Commerce City, Colo. The property is the first newly built prototypical hotel to showcase Holiday Inn’s latest lobby design concept, featuring a co-located front desk, order counter and bar designed to create a more seamless and connected guest experience. The opening represents a major milestone in Holiday Inn’s ongoing evolution, bringing together the comfort, reliability and value guests have long associated with the brand, with a refreshed experience designed to better accommodate how people travel today.

The opening comes as Holiday Inn continues its position as the #1 Most Trusted U.S. Travel & Hospitality Brand, according to Morning Consult Intelligence data, earning the distinction for the sixth consecutive year. As the brand looks ahead to celebrating its 75 ^th anniversary in 2027, Holiday Inn continues to invest in guest experience, design innovation and global growth while remaining true to the warm, welcome and dependable stay experience that has defined the brand for generations.

Developed by NibbleNook Hospitality, the pet-friendly 106-room hotel is located less than 10 minutes from Denver International Airport, with a complimentary airport shuttle offered to all guests. Positioned for business, group and leisure travelers alike, the hotel provides convenient access to major area employers, healthcare institutions, youth sports facilities and popular Denver-area attractions.

At the heart of the property is a reimagined public space designed to create a more intuitive arrival experience. The layout seamlessly brings together a co-located front desk, ordering counter and full-service bar into one centralized hub. Not only does it flow with how travelers move today, but also drives operational efficiencies for hotel owners. Throughout the hotel, versatile, multi-purpose spaces give guests room to gather, connect and personalize their stay. For business travelers and groups and meetings, adaptable meeting spaces, happy hour offerings and a dedicated catering menu create convenient opportunities to connect and collaborate.

Guestrooms feature thoughtfully designed zones for work, relaxation and sleep, including a dedicated workspace and lounge area, high-quality bedding with blackout shades, and convenient in-room amenities. Additional property highlights include an outdoor patio with a fire pit and lounge seating, indoor heated pool, complimentary Wi-Fi, a 24-hour fitness center, complimentary coffee and electric vehicle charging.

Holiday Inn’s on-property dining experience blends familiar favorites with elevated offerings designed for today’s traveler. Guests can enjoy an enhanced breakfast buffet, dinner at Mile High Landing restaurant, and a full-service bar that serves as a place to eat, drink, work and unwind throughout the day. The evening menu features classic American cuisine made to share and savor, alongside handcrafted cocktails, beer and wine. While the experience has been modernized, Holiday Inn’s iconic Kids Stay and Eat Free* benefit remains a hallmark of the brand, continuing its long-standing commitment to making travel easier and more accessible for families.

Meredith Moore, Vice President of Global Holiday Inn by IHG, said, “For nearly 75 years, Holiday Inn has welcomed generations of travelers with comfort, value and genuine hospitality. As we approach this milestone anniversary, we remain focused on evolving the brand for today’s travelers while staying true to what has made Holiday Inn one of the world’s most trusted hotel brands. Holiday Inn & Suites Commerce City-Denver Airport reflects that vision, bringing together inviting spaces, elevated food and drinks, and modern amenities with the dependable experience guests expect from Holiday Inn.”

Pawan Kharbanda and Mohit Kumar, Managing Members, NibbleNook Hospitality, said, “As owners based in Denver, we didn’t set out simply to build another hotel—we wanted to create a place that becomes part of a guest’s story in this city. Whether someone is arriving for business, beginning a Colorado adventure, or simply needs a comfortable place between journeys, we want them to feel genuinely welcomed from the moment they arrive. We are especially proud to invest in our growing community and create a hotel that combines the trust of the Holiday Inn by IHG brand with the warmth and personal attention of independent ownership.”

Holiday Inn continues to grow globally while investing in experiences that matter most to today’s travelers. On the horizon, Holiday Inn Fort Worth - Fossil Creek will be the brand’s next opening to feature its newest lobby design concept. With more than 1,200 hotels open globally and over 300 in the pipeline, the brand continues to invest in modern experiences that meet the evolving needs of today’s travelers while building on the trust and legacy central to Holiday Inn.
