About this Location

Facility Overview

The Tabor Center Parking Garage, professionally managed by Parkwell, is a premier multi-level underground parking facility located at 1200 17th Street in the heart of Downtown Denver. Situated directly between Denver’s historic Lower Downtown (LoDo) district and the Central Business District, this spacious garage serves the prominent Tabor Center complex and the adjacent Westin Denver Downtown hotel. The subterranean structure offers well-illuminated, clean, and climate-protected stalls with wide drive aisles and clearly designated parking bays. While standard passenger sedans, crossovers, minivans, and mid-sized SUVs navigate the underground decks with ease, drivers of oversized vehicles, lifted 4x4 trucks, and high-roof commercial vans should note the posted height restriction of approximately 6 feet 8 inches (2.03 meters).

Visitor & Driver Tips

If you are attending a sold-out weekend event or a Rockies homestand, aim to arrive at least 45 to 60 minutes prior to scheduled start times to secure prime spaces near the elevator lobbies. Always take note of your level and section letter on your ticket or smartphone camera, as multi-level underground layouts can look similar across tiers. Keep an eye out for dynamic rate adjustments during major events, and consider using digital parking reservation platforms in advance to lock in guaranteed stalls and competitive flat-rate evening or weekend rates.
