Presidential Worldwide Partners With New Gaylord Rockies Resort

Gaylord Rockies Resort and Convention Center Denver — Presidential Worldwide Transportation kicked off the new year by announcing that they have contracted to be the exclusive luxury ground transportation provider to the Mile High City’s freshly opened Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center in Aurora, Colo.

The agreement comes nearly two years after Presidential Worldwide President & CEO Shane Stickel first proposed their services to Gaylord representatives in Dallas. The contract between the companies includes all luxury ground transportation related to hotel guests, the convention center, airport transfers, shuttles, celebrity/VIP services, and local tours. Presidential also will provide a shuttle to and from a Denver’s RTD light rail service.

“We’re excited about the opportunity to be part of the first new Gaylord in 10 years,” says Stickel. “They’ve given us a large presence in their hotel and convention center, and even built us a transportation desk to operate from. We’ve hired 15 people to date and are looking to hire more once the hotel is fully operational.”

Presidential purchased several new Chevrolet Suburban SUVs for on-site use and Ford Transit vans for the light rail shuttle service. What’s more, the company has made the leap into the motorcoach side of the business with two Volvo 9700 buses.

With the Gaylord official grand opening of its 1501 rooms impending (a soft opening occurred in late December), and the first convention coming to town at the end of the month, Stickel is looking forward to the opportunities this partnership will provide.

“This is a new experience for us,” he says. “We’ve put a lot of time and expense into making this happen, and we’re enthusiastic to see what this turns into.”
