Banquet Captain

Why us?

Catbird is a welcoming independent boutique hotel that’s full of art, heart, and good vibes. This is what happens when you blur the line between hotel and home and add a hefty dose of counterculture. From thoughtful spaces that seamlessly facilitate work/life balance to the lively rooftop with panoramic views, there's a lot to discover here.

Paying homage to the history of the neighborhood around it, Catbird encompasses a 2,500 square foot, four-bedroom historic home, originally built in 1890, which has been preserved as part of the hotel. The historic Klee House is an ideal space for all your events and celebrations with up to 40 guests. The 2,380 square‑foot home has plenty of mixed‑use spaces for entertaining.

Rook is your new favorite spot in RiNo, Denver — perched at the top of the Catbird Hotel. Our tagline is “Rounds not Rivals” and we’re looking for people who want to join our down‑to‑earth crew of cocktail aficionados, slinging classic and playful drinks in a laidback environment. The bar encompasses both an expansive skyline rooftop, as well as an intimate indoor space—we are looking for people who are just as comfortable at a corn‑hole pit as they are in a cocktail lounge.
