Best Hotels in
Denver

Denver's most iconic hotel — a triangular Romanesque Revival landmark opened in 1892 that has hosted every US president since Teddy Roosevelt. The eight-story atrium with its onyx and stained glass is among the most spectacular hotel interiors in the American West, and the afternoon tea service remains a Denver institution after 130 years.

Denver's oldest continuously operating hotel (1891) in the heart of LoDo, with an Arts and Crafts lobby, a Navajo rug collection, and an impeccably maintained Art Deco spirit throughout the 80 rooms and suites. The Cruise Room bar — Denver's most atmospheric cocktail room, with Art Deco bas-reliefs and the state's first legal liquor license after Prohibition — is worth a visit regardless of whether you're staying.

Denver's most creative adaptive reuse — a boutique hotel embedded within the restored 1881 Union Station, with room types ranging from standard loft rooms to the extraordinary sleeping car-inspired Pullman Rooms. The Great Hall below is Denver's most beloved communal space, with bar carts and dining programming from some of the city's best restaurateurs.

A Kimpton flagship adjacent to Union Station with a facade of Corten steel and Colorado sandstone that references the state's mining heritage, interiors full of local artisan work, and the outstanding Citizen Rail restaurant serving dry-aged beef and wood-fired Colorado cuisine on the Union Station concourse. The nightly wine hour and morning cycling program reflect Kimpton's social DNA.

Denver's museum district anchor — a design hotel with over 100 original commissioned artworks throughout, positioned steps from the Denver Art Museum, the Clyfford Still Museum, and the History Colorado Center. Rooms are executed in a gallery-white palette that provides a serene counterpoint to the vibrant art outside, and the views of the Civic Center Park are lovely.

Cherry Creek's finest boutique property — 154 rooms in a handsome tower above Cherry Creek's shopping and dining corridor, with bikes for every guest, an indoor-outdoor cocktail bar, and a rooftop pool with Rockies views.

The anchor hotel of the Dairy Block micro-district — a curated collection of independent shops, restaurants, and bars within a converted 1910 dairy building in LoDo. The Maven's 172 rooms are industrial-warm in design, and the unique Dairy Block experience (Denver Milk Market food hall, Blanchard Family Wines, local boutiques) makes staying here feel like arriving in the best version of Denver.

Denver's most reliable full-service convention hotel — a 625-room property directly connected to the Colorado Convention Center with a rooftop pool, an updated fitness center, and a central 16th Street Mall location that places it within easy walking of Coors Field, Union Station, and LoDo's restaurant row. Solid value by downtown standards.
