Twenty years ago, there was a vision for a hotel attached to Denver International Airport, now one of the largest and busiest airports in the world.

In the last few years Gilmore has helped that vision come to life, and last month Gilmore attended a celebration of the milestone that is the completion of The Westin Denver International Airport with a ribbon cutting at the opening night event Nov. 17.

Denver Mayor Michael Hancock did the rubbon cutting, Root Down provided refreshments and some local jazz musicians entertained those gathered there to celebrate this significant achievement that will bring major economic impact to Colorado for years to come.
