Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Downtown
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.
Golden Triangle
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.
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.
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.
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.
Union Station
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.
