About this Location

Facility Overview

The 1475 S. Colorado Blvd Parking facility serves the prominent Courtyard by Marriott Denver Cherry Creek property in Denver's vibrant Cory-Merrill and Cherry Creek South commercial corridor. Situated directly on South Colorado Boulevard between East Florida Avenue and East Arkansas Avenue, this spacious open-air surface parking lot provides convenient off-street vehicular accommodation with roughly 200 well-marked stalls. Because the lot is completely open-air at ground level, drivers do not have to worry about the strict vertical clearance limits often encountered in subterranean or multi-story parking structures throughout central Denver. The wide turning aisles and unobstructed overhead clearance make it exceptionally well-suited for all classes of passenger vehicles, including lifted pickup trucks, oversized SUVs, commercial vans, sprinter conversions, and motorcoaches visiting local venues and event spaces.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Peak Traffic Awareness: South Colorado Boulevard is a high-volume corridor; during morning (7:30 AM – 9:00 AM) and evening (4:30 PM – 6:30 PM) rush hours, plan for extra travel time when turning into or out of the lot.
Southbound Approach: It is easiest to access the property while traveling southbound on Colorado Boulevard. If arriving from I-25 northbound, stay in the right-hand lanes as you exit onto Colorado Boulevard to make an easy, controlled right turn.
Event & Peak Day Validation: If you are attending an event at the Skyline Ballroom or patronizing on-site hospitality facilities, always verify your parking status or register your license plate with the reception desk to avoid unexpected charges.
Keep Belongings Out of Sight: As with any open metropolitan surface lot, follow standard personal security best practices: always lock your vehicle and remove any valuables or luggage from plain sight.
