The Hyatt Regency Denver has just been named the headquarters for the Democratic National Committee which will announce its presidential candidate at Denver's Pepsi Center Aug. 25-28. The Denver Biz Journal reports:

"Outside Pepsi Center, the Hyatt Regency Denver will serve as the primary nerve center for our convention operations -- our home away from home ...," said Leah Daughtry, CEO of the Democratic National Convention Committee.

Indeed the convention will be good for all Denver-area hotels. The Democratic National Convention Committee expects convention delegates, media and others coming to the event to take up roughly 17,000 rooms at 100 metro-area hotels. In a scary hotel market, Denver is going to get a healthy little boost.
