Rossonian Hotel, Historic jazz hotel in Five Points, Denver, United States.
The triangular Beaux-Arts building at 2650 Welton Street features three stories of red brick with white stone trim and large windows.
Opening in 1912 as the Baxter Hotel, the establishment changed its name to Rossonian Hotel in 1929 under the management of A.H.W. Ross.
The hotel provided accommodations for African American musicians like Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong when other Denver establishments refused their patronage.
The building stands empty since 1998, but current renovation plans include converting it into a boutique hotel with a restaurant and basement music venue.
Between 1930 and 1960, the Rossonian Lounge emerged as the primary jazz venue between St. Louis and Los Angeles, attracting performers after their main shows.
