Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
LoDo
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.
Union Station
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.
RiNo (River North)
The hotel component of Denver's most celebrated adaptive reuse marketplace — the former wire factory on Brighton Boulevard houses a 100-room rooftop hotel alongside New Belgium Brewing's tasting room, award-winning restaurants, and artisan vendors on the ground floor. The views of Downtown Denver from the rooftop pool are among the city's finest.
Dairy Block / LoDo
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.
Cherry Creek
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 partnership with neighboring restaurants and the 'Garage' social space downstairs make it the neighborhood's most energetic social hub.
Downtown
Denver's gold standard for contemporary luxury — a 45-story downtown tower with one of the city's finest rooftop pools and spa programs, 239 rooms with Rocky Mountain views, and edge restaurant and rooftop bar at street level that have become genuine downtown dining destinations. Ideal for visitors who want the full-service luxury experience with mountain access.
