Gaylord Convention Center

For event planners organizing the largest and most ambitious conventions, trade shows, and corporate gatherings, the Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center stands in a class of its own. This sprawling resort offers a breathtaking scale of event space, comprehensive on-site amenities, and a captivating Rocky Mountain aesthetic, creating a self-contained destination that can accommodate the most demanding group needs.

The sheer volume of event space is the Gaylord Rockies’ defining feature, with over 500,000 square feet of flexible meeting, convention, and exhibition space. The resort is anchored by three massive ballrooms—the Adams, Aurora, and Colorado Ballrooms—and a cavernous 175,000-square-foot exhibit hall. The Aurora Ballroom alone can host nearly 5,000 guests for a reception. With an additional 78 conference and breakout rooms, the facility is designed to handle complex, multi-track events with thousands of attendees. The resort also offers stunning outdoor event spaces, including the Grand Lodge Lawn and the Mountain View Pavilion, which provide incredible views of the Rockies as a backdrop for receptions and social functions.

Beyond its convention facilities, the Gaylord Rockies is a complete resort destination, offering an unparalleled array of amenities that make it ideal for multi-day events. Attendees can enjoy the Arapahoe Springs Water Park, which features both indoor and outdoor pools, a lazy river, and thrilling waterslides. The resort boasts multiple signature restaurants, including the Old Hickory Steakhouse and the Mountain Pass Sports Bar, providing diverse on-site dining options for groups. The Relâche Spa offers a full menu of treatments for relaxation and rejuvenation after a long day of meetings.

Located just minutes from Denver International Airport (DEN), the Gaylord Rockies is exceptionally convenient for out-of-town attendees. While its expansive grounds provide a complete, immersive experience, it is also a short drive from attractions like the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge.
