Just when it seemed Denver’s Cherry Creek North shopping and business district had reached the height of swank, along comes the Clayton Members Club and Hotel. This 90,000-sq-ft design-build project transformed two four-story structures into a six-story multifunctional private club and hotel. Housed in the former Inn at Cherry Creek, the glittering new edifice offers three restaurants and seven bars—including a hidden speakeasy—plus a rooftop pool and lounge, a 5,000-sq-ft conference space, a 2,400-sq-ft ballroom and a business center that includes a co-working lounge. In contrast to the 37 rooms of its predecessor hotel, the Clayton houses 63 guest rooms and suites. The project required extensive structural modifications to the existing hotel to support the loads and programming called for in the new design. The design also posed significant challenges as the team encountered 1,000 engineered conditions, each of which required a unique solution.
