The Mayan Theatre-Movies in Denver

I love going to movies at this historic movie theatre! The Mayan opened in 1930 as a movie house. It is one of country’s three remaining theaters designed in the Art Deco Mayan Revival style.

Located at 110 Broadway between First and Second Avenues, Denver, it was almost demolished in the 80s. Going there is an experience. (They don’t make them like they used to.) Look around at the art when you see a film there. Thank goodness this architectural gem was preserved!

Landmark Theaters has operated it since 1986. The balcony was closed and converted to two small theaters with smaller screens and the main level shows films on a large screen for a total of three different movie viewing opportunities.

 

Parking available in the Walgreens lot next to it. Restaurants like the Hornet are close by for a before or after movie meal. For more information and to find out what movies are playing, visit landmark-mayan-theatre-denver
