Located minutes from both the Denver International Airport and Downtown Denver, Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center opened just a few years ago in 2018 and has been welcoming visitors ever since. Families love the brand's everything-under-one-roof concept with an expansive, Grand Lodge, providing an abundance of entertainment, attractions, and dining plus an immersive, upscale water park.
The resort has over 1,500 guest rooms, including over 100 suites. The property is a great launching off pad for travelers flying into the Denver airport; it's also a great end-of-the-trip relaxation spot before flying home. It's less than 15 minutes away from the airport.
The property is a one-stop shop for family fun. There are eight dining options; a luxurious spa and salon; an indoor and outdoor pool, lazy river and winding waterways; and plenty of entertainment options for the kids including movie night.
