1 Million Rooms Booked At Gaylord Rockies Resort, And Giant Hotel Won’t Open Until December

Construction crews are working six days a week to finish the 1,501-room Gaylord Rockies Resort and Convention Center. The hotel won’t open until December but more than one million rooms are already booked. “Over a million rooms have been booked, now these rooms have been booked over several years so I know that some people think that we’re booked up and we have no availability, that would be incorrect,” said Rick Medeweff, the general manager for the property. He said many groups looking to host conventions need to secure their location several years in advance. According to Medeweff, some of the rooms are booked out as far as 2028. More than 80 percent of the conventions booked so far have never been held in Colorado before. “So we’re excited about that, that we’re bringing in new people to experience not only Aurora but the Denver Metro area and Colorado in general,” said Medeweff.
