The Best Western Plus Denver West/Golden offers a 155-room lodging asset near I-70, Red Rocks and Golden’s tourism and commercial attractions.
Hilco Global is putting the fully renovated, 155-room Best Western Plus Denver West/Golden into a bankruptcy sale process, with December 3, 2025 set as the qualifying bid deadline. The hotel, at 15059 W. Colfax Avenue in Golden, Colorado, is being marketed through Hilco’s real estate operation, while the transaction remains subject to approval by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado, Denver Division. The offering places a branded lodging property in a prominent Colorado corridor before potential investors seeking an operating hotel rather than a ground-up development.
The property sits on a 3.05-acre site immediately off I-70, giving it access to traffic travelling towards Denver, Colorado’s mountain destinations and the western suburbs. Its nearby demand drivers include downtown Golden, the Coors Brewery, Colorado School of Mines, the Buffalo Bill Museum and Grave, and Clear Creek whitewater park. The hotel is also located near Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre, while Colorado Mills Mall and surrounding retail, dining and entertainment venues add to the area’s commercial activity.
Originally constructed in 1981, the two-building, three-storey hotel underwent significant renovations between 2015 and 2022. Its listed facilities include a guest reception area, continental breakfast lounge, business centre, guest laundry, fitness centre, meeting room, outdoor pool with patio and indoor spa. The property’s positioning along both eastbound and westbound I-70 is presented as a factor supporting visibility and guest capture, while its Best Western Plus branding provides an established operating identity for a prospective buyer.
Hilco senior directors Keith Worsham and Steve Madura framed the asset around its location, accessibility, renovations and recognised hotel flag. Worsham pointed to the Denver West/Golden corridor’s lodging demand drivers, including recreation and entertainment, while Madura described the property as offering operational potential within an active commercial corridor. Those assessments are company views rather than independent performance data, but they indicate how the sale is being positioned: as a property combining highway exposure with proximity to leisure, education, retail and entertainment destinations.
The sale process requires bids to be submitted on an asset purchase agreement, with qualifying bids due by December 3, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. Mountain Time. The agreement is available through Hilco Real Estate Sales, which is also providing access to due diligence materials for interested participants. For Hilco Global, the transaction demonstrates the role of its real estate group in handling complex or distressed assets, while the hotel’s location and renovation history give the court-supervised process a clearly defined commercial proposition.
