DENVER, Nov. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center is the proud winner of the prestigious 2019 Stella Award from Northstar Meetings Group, publishers Successful Meetings Magazine and Meetings & Conventions Magazine. The hotel took top honors in the Southwest Region with a Gold Medal for Best Renovation for the installation of the new and innovative restaurant Former Saint Craft Kitchen and Taps. This is the second time in the Stella Award's three-year history that Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center has received a Gold Medal. In 2017, the hotel was recognized for Best Food and Beverage.
Having opened its door just this year, Former Saint features a stunning 16-foot locally-inspired mural saturated in color and complemented with 425 feet of polished copper piping that delivers fresh Colorado craft beer from its glass enclosed keg room to its generous, focal-point bar, ideal for networking. Its historic location is the site where St. Mary's Academy once stood in 1864 and is adjacent to the Colorado Convention Center and steps to the Denver Theater District. Former Saint gives a nod to the bond shared between food and spirits. Partnering with a respected community of local ranchers, farmers, distillers, vineyards and brewers, chefs tempt with unpretentious yet adventuresome flavors.
The décor and the fare together make a statement that this is where Denver urban meets Colorado wild. House smoked meats, prime cuts, the freshest produce and artisanal breads are featured along with an offering of appetizers, robust burgers, curated sandwiches and masterful main courses. A welcoming open kitchen, bustling with culinary craftsmen, invites guest to imbibe in the aroma and the taste. Each plate is prepared and presented with extra thought and consideration. Meeting and event planners find the private spaces for hosting dinners and receptions an important convenience.
"We believe that it is not just the stunning décor that makes Former Saint a stand out; it is the overall experience of just being there. Former Saint was designed with the culture and the natural beauty of Colorado front of mind," said Greg Leonard, Hyatt Regency Denver general manager. "Focus and thought were given to its design to ensure that guests have a feel for this great place. It is an honor when that effort is recognized by industry leaders with such a prestigious award."
