Denver hotel features garage doors in guest rooms

GKKworks designed the building.


By David Malone, Associate Editor | March 20, 2019

The Source Hotel, located in Denver, Colo., has a unique solution to providing guests with fresh air and sunshine in their guest rooms: garage doors.

That’s right, 20 of the hotel’s guest rooms/suites are equipped with operable glass garage doors. With the push of a button, the garage doors fully open to fill the room with fresh air and natural light.
