A unique combination of a higher-education classroom building, a teaching laboratory, a commercial hotel – Springhill Suites by Marriott – and a conference center, the Hotel and Hospitality Learning Center (HLC) is the home to the School of Hospitality, Events and Tourism at MSU Denver. The HLC is the only such facility in Colorado.
