Narrative

The Jacquard Hotel, Denver, Colorado

Cherry Creek North has long set the tone for Denver’s most discerning dining, and Narrative, located within The Jacquard, an Autograph Collection Hotel, was designed to become its newest essential gathering place. Urban, sleek, and genuinely inviting, the 3,500 square foot restaurant speaks directly to a younger, forward-thinking clientele that expects both sophistication and energy from its surroundings. Rowland+Broughton’s interior design concept meets that expectation with precision bringing something fresh, timeless, and wholly attuned to a neighborhood thriving with locals who know exactly what they want from a room.

The design takes its cues from the space itself. High ceilings and an open, indoor-outdoor floor plan create a sense of expansiveness that R+B leaned into rather than corrected, allowing abundant natural light to animate the interior throughout the day. To ground that generosity of scale, the team layered in a palette of rich, considered materials. Magma herringbone mosaic tile flooring and white-stained European oak establish warmth and pattern underfoot, while Elegante marble slab at the banquettes and wainscoting lends a polished, residential quality to the dining room. At the bar, a pewter-colored coating introduces an industrial edge that keeps the space from tipping too formal, and WhisperSpan ceiling treatment addresses acoustics without compromising the room’s open character. Custom light fixtures suspended from the interior columns serve as both functional anchors and sculptural moments, drawing the eye upward and reinforcing the vertical drama of the space.

Circulation and flexibility were as central to the design as any material choice. The full program moves seamlessly from restaurant seating and bar atmosphere to a wine room stocked with over 750 bottles, private dining options, and a 5,735 square foot rooftop that opens the venue to Cherry Creek’s energy and Colorado’s abundant sky. Together, the two levels create a destination that serves an intimate weeknight dinner as naturally as it hosts a large-scale social event with comfort and connectivity woven into every decision.
