Facility Overview
Situated in the bustling heart of Downtown Denver at the intersection of 15th Street and Stout Street, the Metropolis parking facility at 801 15th St delivers frictionless, automated parking in the Central Business District. Powered by Metropolis’s modern computer vision and license plate recognition (LPR) platform, drivers can effortlessly enter and exit without dealing with paper tickets or gate delays. The facility offers convenient downtown vehicle spaces laid out to accommodate standard passenger sedans, crossovers, mid-size SUVs, and standard light trucks. Drivers operating oversized commercial vans, lifted pickup trucks, or rooftop cargo carriers should monitor posted entry dimensions and lane widths to guarantee smooth navigation through turns and entry portals.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
This central parking hub places visitors mere steps away from Denver’s foremost convention, cultural, and entertainment hubs. Located only two blocks from the Colorado Convention Center and the Bellco Theatre (a quick 3- to 4-minute walk), it is one of the most practical parking choices for tradeshow delegates, expo attendees, and concertgoers. Additionally, visitors are positioned right alongside the vibrant 16th Street Mall corridor, teeming with premier retail stores, restaurants, cafes, and hotels including the Hyatt Regency Denver and the Grand Hyatt. The Denver Performing Arts Complex (DPAC), including the Buell Theatre and Boettcher Concert Hall, is less than an 8-minute stroll away. Sports and entertainment arenas such as Ball Arena and Coors Field are also easily reached via a short walk, rideshare, or quick light rail trip.

Visitor & Driver Tips
To experience the fastest entry and exit, set up your vehicle profile and payment method via the Metropolis mobile site before arrival so the cameras can automatically recognize your license plate upon approach.

Always check overhead clearances and lane markings if operating larger utility vehicles or trucks with tall roof accessories.
