The Ritz-Carlton Denver, formerly known as the Embassy Suites Downtown, is part of the Denver Place complex, which was completed in 1983. The building rises 38 floors and is 390 feet (119 m) in height. It stands as the eighteenth-tallest building in Colorado. At the time it was built it was the second-tallest hotel building in Denver, behind the 522-foot (159 m) MCI Building, now known as 707 17th Street; this structure is a mixed use hotel and commercial property whose lowest 20 floors are occupied by a private condominium (floors 15-19) and a Ritz-Carlton. Embassy Suites operated 337 guest rooms in the tower, including several suites. The uppermost 17 floors of the tower consist of apartments.
