DENVER — The historic Oxford Hotel in Downtown Denver celebrated its 127th birthday on Wednesday. To honor the occasion, Mayor Michael Hancock proclaimed the day The Oxford Hotel Day.
The Oxford Hotel is considered Denver’s oldest hotel still in operation. It’s on 17th Street near Union Station.
On Wednesday, guests gathered inside the hotel for a champagne toast. It was lead by the Oxford’s co-owner and urban preservationist, Dana Crawford.
“I told all the neighbors we were getting one foot into the 21st century,” Crawford said.
The Oxford Hotel is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
