Nestled in the dramatic mountain landscape of Black Hawk, Colorado, the expansive renovation and addition for the Monarch Casino & Resort boasts a new 22-story, 507 room hotel, enlarged gaming space, and an overall exterior and interior remodel. The main intent of the design was to ensure the property stood out amongst the other casino resort properties in Black Hawk, while still adhering to the planning requirements to reflect the City’s historical image. The pool and spa were located at the twenty third floor to take advantage of the panoramic views of the surrounding Colorado landscape. Opulent materials like limestone and granite were incorporated at the pedestrian level, while balancing less costly plaster finishes at the higher levels of the tower. Details were integrated into windows and the plaster finish at the tower, to maintain the high-end character the owner envisioned. Monarch Casino & Resort will be an elegant and timeless addition to the landscape.
