The Story

An independent hotel in Dairy Block, Denver’s newest micro-district, The Maven celebrates craft and creativity while bringing together the area’s rich artistic identity. Committed to eliminating traditional boundaries, The Maven embraces its connection to the community with a progressive, interconnected art program that delights in both the past and present and empowers guests and visitors to embark on a journey of discovery.

Around every corner of The Maven lies a different art experience. Guests are immediately greeted by stunning statement pieces in the lobby and they continue to discover art down hallways, up stairwells, inside elevator banks, all the way to their rooms. Our robust and complex art experience for The Maven features large scale installations, interactive spaces, murals, sound works, and more, leveraging the hotel’s story and the Dairy Block’s commitment to “The Maker.” Connecting all works is a sort of gravitational pull that makes each individual art location its own experience, yet threads all of the art into an immersive narrative for all who visit and stay at The Maven.

Our ability to create authentic experiences for our guests is a key differentiator against our competition, and the art program that NINE dot ARTS created is a prime example. Much of the art comes from current Boston University (BU) students and alumni, which really connects with our guests. As a result, we continue to grow our share of business from BU.”

- Adam Sperling, General Manager, Hotel Commonwealth
