Curating The Perfect Event In LoDo
Curating The Perfect Event In LoDo
The Maven is more than just a hotel with event space. With local art, walkability to iconic Denver attractions, top-notch cocktails, and expertly designed menus, The Maven quickly becomes the backdrop to an unforgettable gathering. We’ve created a guide to help you host the perfect birthday, reception, or meeting in one of Denver’s most distinctive private event spaces.
A CULINARY ADVENTURE AWAITS
Step into the world of Kachina Cantina and experience a vibrant space perfect for your next event. From the colorful corn wall to the artful tree on the indoor patio, flavorful dishes and fresh margaritas, Kachina Cantina invites you to experience the best of the Southwest and Latin America without ever leaving Denver.
At the Cantina the menu is always changing. With starters for the adventurous foodie like the Grilled Octopus with a sweet potato pureé to bold entrees like the Date Mole Braised Lamb Shank, each dish tells a story of the heart of the Southwest in its own voice.
No visit is complete without a signature cocktail from the master bartenders. With favorites like the Ginger-Peach Margarita, a Cantina staple like the Frozen Margarita Flight, or the elevated, classic House Margarita, your guests are certain to reach for another (even after their complimentary welcome cocktail or agua fresca).
There’s always more to explore, and you can take it one step further to “wow” your guests with a private tequila tasting with our in-house Cantina experts. They’ll walk you through flavor profiles, tasting notes, and the history of agave, because if there’s one thing the Kachina Cantina team knows best, it’s flavor.
You heard it here first: life’s better with brunch, and luckily, Kachina Cantina has stepped up the game with dishes that offer a flavor-fusion of Southwestern favorites. As Denverites, we know that brunch is best enjoyed outdoors, so we encourage you to take advantage of our patio so you and your guests can soak up the Colorado sun.

WHERE HANDCRAFTED GETS A WHOLE NEW MEANING
When you enter The Maven lobby, you’ll first notice the signature wooden hand, a nod to our extensive art collection and attention to architecture. Just beyond, you’ll notice the shimmering stained glass above the art-deco inspired bar that is Poka Lola.
From rehearsal dinners to cocktail receptions, birthday celebrations and corporate meetings, unique touches invite you and your guests to settle in and immerse yourself in the Poka Lola experience: by the warm glow of the table lamps and with cocktail in hand, unforgettable moments come to life.
Poka Lola is an elegant lounge located in The Maven lobby, and although it’s an easy journey from your room at The Maven, has its own personality, energy, and story. Our staff makes every event unique to you; from featured cocktails, to complimentary bites, to polaroid cameras that capture every moment.
With an unbeatably creative team of mixologists behind the bar, the cocktails change several times a year to match the flavors of each season. You and your guests will enjoy artfully curated cocktails no matter the time of year, like the Oh Snap, or Ski Bum, to be enjoyed by the glow of the bar, or by the heaters on the patio beneath the twinkling lights of Dairy Block Alley.

A HISTORIC EVENT SPACE
From the first “pop” of bubbly to the final step on the dance floor, events in Windsor Ballroom set the stage for more than just a gathering.
What makes this space truly special is the touch of history that comes with it. The exposed brick, wooden floors, and floor to ceiling windows nod to the essence of Dairy Block, and Windsor Dairy that once was. In fair weather, we’ll open the sliding doors onto Dairy Block for your guests to experience the architecture and iconic art of our unique micro-district.
With the capability to hold up to 120 people, the ballroom sets the scene for your “I Do” moment, acceptance speech, educational presentation, or something completely your own. Not only does this space transform exactly into your most creative vision, but our team ensures each event is set up with special touches; from custom art tours to signature Maven amenities, and more.
Whether you’re planning a company holiday party, team offsite, or executive meeting, Windsor Ballroom awaits.
