Our Picks — Denver
Downtown
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
