Q: How many meeting rooms are at the Alliance Center?
There are four meeting rooms available for groups to rent. Our smallest, the Board Room, holds up to 10 people comfortably, our next two largest rooms, the Media and 4th Floor Conference room hold up to 15, and our largest room, the Interface Room, holds up to 40. There are extra chairs in the closet of the largest room to accommodate this many.
Q: What is the charge for the meeting rooms?
Tenants of the building can use all meeting rooms with no additional charges; however, with outside groups that do not have a tenant involved in the meeting, there is a fee of $20 per hour for nonprofit organizations (you will be required to provide your FEIN number) and $40 per hour for businesses and government agencies. If the meeting is held outside of normal business hours (M-F, 9am-5pm), then the fee is $75 per hour for nonprofits and $100 per hour for others.
Q: What amenities are included in the meeting room rental?
The Media and Interface rooms have a projector installed in the ceiling and a unit to plug a computer into through a VGA connector. There is also a DVD player and Direct TV unit connected to the projector that you’re free to use. We have a portable projector that you may use in the rooms that are not already equipped with a projector. Just let us know ahead of time that you’d like to check it out. The portable projector is not guaranteed to be available for your meeting time, so the sooner you let us know about needing one, the better.
Wireless internet and a phone are available in every room as well.
In every room, there is a white board available for your use. Markers are located in the rooms as well, but feel free to visit us in Suite 4A if you need more.
Q: What is recommended for catering?
Every group is responsible for their own catering, but we do have coffee makers, sinks and refrigerators located on each floor of the building that you are free to use. You are responsible for bringing in your own flatware and dinnerware (as well as any coffee making supplies aside from the maker). You can bring in any food or drink that you would like.

Q: What about parking?
Unfortunately, parking in downtown Denver can be tough and with almost 40 organizations in the building, we don’t have the parking lot space to accommodate outside groups. If you can’t find metered parking on the streets, there are multiple parking lots, covered and uncovered, within close walking distance to the Alliance.
- Garage at Wynkoop and 15th/16th Street –> max daily rate: $12 -> 1 minute walk
- Union Station uncovered parking at Wynkoop at 16th Street -> max daily rate: $9 ->1 minute walk
- Wazee and 16th Street -> max daily rate: $13 -> 2 minute walk
- Blake and 15th Street -> max daily rate: $12 -> 3 minute walk
- Wazee and 18th Street -> max daily rate: $8 -> 5 minute walk
- Pepsi Center at 11th and Auraria Parkway -> max daily rate: $4 -> 7 minute walk
We encourage the use of public transportation. There are multiple bus stops within a block of the building and the light rail Union Station stop is located only 3 blocks away. There are many places for bike parking at our building as well.
Q: What do I need to do if I am renting the meeting room outside of normal business hours?
You will need a temporary keycard from us in order to gain access to the building. The meeting rooms are left unlocked, but the front doors lock outside of normal business hours at 6:00pm, M-F and remain locked all day on the weekends. Give us the name of the person who will be in charge of the card and arrange for a time to pick up the card before your meeting. You will also need to arrange for a way to return the keycard to us. If you can’t drop it off after your meeting occurs, we can arrange for a place for you to leave the card. Unreturned cards will result in a $50 charge. The Alliance needs at least 3 business days notice to accommodate after hours room rental.
Q: Since there are multiple meeting rooms, can we put up signs for our participants to direct them in the correct direction?
Yes, as long as you also take them down once they are no longer needed.
Q: How and when can I pay for the meeting room?
You can pay by credit card (in person or on the phone) or by check (in person or by mail). It is necessary for us to receive the payment beforehand; however, this can occur on the day of your meeting. A receipt will be provided to you only upon request.
