Crawford Hotel (Denver, USA)
In 1881, the Denver train station officially opened, proudly standing as the largest architectural structure in the American West at the time. However, time and change caused significant damage to the station in the early 20th century, and a different architectural work was built to replace it. It wasn't until Dana Crawford, a renowned architectural developer and conservator in Denver, Colorado, dedicated herself to reviving the site that a new chapter began. With a bold vision, she transformed the old station into a hotel bearing her name.
Today, the Crawford Hotel retains its distinctive design from the Denver train station era, with soaring ceilings and expansive windows, creating a space that is both classic and modern, imbued with a sense of history.
