We've partnered with the Catbird Hotel as the recommended hotel for Explore DDD 2026. It's located in Denver's RiNo (River North Art District), surrounded by great restaurants, breweries, and bars, all within walking distance. Catbird is the perfect place to continue conversations from the conference over dinner and drinks.

Catbird is not your typical hotel. It's an independent, design-forward hotel with condo-style suites, full kitchens, and a creative community vibe that matches the spirit of our conference. Each suite features a lofted bed, 4K projector (instead of a TV in most rooms), and a layout that feels more like home. For attendees staying the full week for both workshops and the conference, it's a comfortable base with everything you need.
On-site amenities include rooftop hot tubs, the Rook Rooftop bar, Catbird Kitchen, a Peloton fitness center, laundry on every floor, and outdoor gear rentals. The hotel is also pet-friendly. Browse the photo gallery →
