Halcyon Hotel
245 Colunbine Street
Denver, Colorado 80206
https://Halcyonhotelcherrycreek.com
The Halcyon (our conference hotel) is a lovely boutique hotel nestled in the trendy and highly accessible Cherry Creek neighborhood. This hotel experience will be unlike previous conferences with ample amenities such as a rooftop pool and hot tub, fitness center, Gear Garage (full of goodies to rent, gratis) an available 24-hour barista at the Kitchen Counter and less than a mile walk to Denver Botanic Garden. This location promises luxury and convenience.
The ASBA Conference room rate is $298 plus applicable taxes. This rate applies to either King or to Two Queen standard rooms. The rate of $298 per night is extended to ASBA members from September 27th– October 7th, 2026.
Rooms will fill quickly as this is a much more intimate property with only 154 total guest rooms, so make your reservation as soon as possible. We anticipate the hotel will sell out and be filled with ASBA conference attendees exclusively.

ASBA is committed to the health and safety of conference attendees. ASBA and the Halcyon Hotel at Cherry Creek will follow Health and Safety laws, rules, regulations, and guidelines established by the State of Colorado the city of Denver, and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (collectively, the “Regulations”). We will ask conference attendees to agree to comply with all regulations in effect at the time of the conference.
*ASBA does its best to keep costs down, particularly for our Annual Conference. Registration fees are used to cover costs that ASBA incurs for hotel meals, receptions, lecture and workshop room rentals and A/V services as well as transportation to offsite programs. We do not make money off conference registrations. Although we know that our members' costs to attend the conference are substantial, we believe there is still great value in gathering in person, initiating, and building lasting friendships, and sharing our common passion for botanical art - in person!
