Walk to Your Conference in Four Steps

  1. Find your assigned hall. Check your registration confirmation for Exhibit Hall A–F, a ballroom, meeting room or Bellco Theatre.
  2. Leave the hotel at 550 15th Street. Follow the pedestrian route toward the convention center’s public entrance.
  3. Use marked crosswalks. The commonly used entrances are on 14th Street between Stout and California Streets.
  4. Allow indoor travel time. Registration, escalators, elevators and exhibition hall distances may add several minutes.
Important distinction: The hotel is near the Colorado Convention Center but is not connected by an enclosed walkway. Visitors must travel outdoors between the buildings.

For detailed venue parking, hall locations, event policies and exhibition entrance maps, see our Colorado Convention Center parking, map and visitor guide.

Homewood Suites Denver Downtown Parking: $60 Valet and Alternatives

Hilton publishes $60 valet parking. It does not offer hotel self-parking, complimentary parking or on-site EV charging. The hotel lists secured and covered parking but does not provide in-and-out privileges.

Based on the published valet rate.

Three charges

Useful example for a three-night conference trip.

Five charges
$300

Illustrative longer-stay parking budget.

These examples multiply the published $60 charge. Actual parking billing, taxes and additional charges should be confirmed with the hotel.

Hotel Valet vs. Convention Center Garage

The Colorado Convention Center operates a separate public garage. Its published rates include approximately $13 for up to eight hours, $16 for up to 12 hours and $26 for up to 24 hours. That garage has its own parking limitations and does not include free re-entry.

A convention garage may suit a daytime event attendee, but overnight hotel guests should not assume it will be more convenient than hotel valet.

Before booking a car: If all your activities are downtown, compare RTD airport rail and local transportation with the combined cost of a rental car and several valet parking charges.

For the detailed garage entrance, clearance, payment instructions and visitor parking rules, use our Colorado Convention Center garage guide.
