Pinnacle Club opens after facelift

Grand Hyatt Denver has relaunched the Pinnacle Club after a $28 million renovation.

Located on the 38th floor of the hotel at 1750 Welton St., the 10,000-square-foot Pinnacle Club's meeting and event space features two ballrooms with pre-function areas and panoramic views spanning 10,600 miles of snowcapped peaks and prairie.

The Crystal Peak and Capitol Peak ballrooms boast more than 1,200 hand-blown crystal light fixtures individually hung from the 14-foot ceiling. A kitchen that was previously against a bank of windows was moved to the interior, allowing the Pinnacle Club to be windowed on all four sides. The architectural design is complemented with accents of cherry wood and brass.

"We understand the iconic stature of this facility that is familiar to so many," says Mark Stiebeling, general manager of the Grand Hyatt. "In creating the concept for the new Pinnacle Club, we wanted to refresh and modernize while retaining the opulence that it is known for."

The Pinnacle Club has a rich history in Denver dating back to the state’s oil boom in the 1980s, when it was known as The Petroleum Club. With the Pinnacle Club, the Grand Hyatt's 52,600 square feet of conference space includes five ballrooms. 

All 516 hotel rooms also were renovated, along with the Skycourt, one of downtown Denver's only rooftop jogging tracks and tennis courts. The hotel's lobby also was renovated, adding two linear stacked fireplaces, as were guestrooms.
