“Opened in 2014 above the main terminal of Denver’s renovated Union Station, the Crawford Hotel is designed to evoke Pullman-era train travel while offering decidedly modern perks like a Tesla courtesy car and complimentary gym access. Each of the 112 soundproofed rooms are unique and some are smaller than others.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Denver.
“The Art, in downtown Denver, is a capital-A Art hotel with a museum pedigree. The hotel’s in-house curator, Dianne Vanderlip, is the former curator of modern and contemporary art at the Denver Art Museum, which is just steps away from the 165-room hotel.”
“The crown jewel of Denver hotels since 1892, The Brown Palace Hotel and Spa remains one of the most luxurious (and most expensive) properties in town. Beyond us commoners, almost every U.S. President has stayed at The Brown Palace since Teddy Roosevelt first stayed in 1905.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Denver.
“The new Ramble Hotel in RiNo looks like a warehouse rehab with a handsome red brick exterior and double-height lobby. The new building houses Death & Co Denver cocktail lounge in the lobby, filled with tufted sofas and chandeliers.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Denver.
“An urban resort in the upscale Cherry Creek district, the 154-room Halcyon Hotel features a rooftop pool and bar, the subterranean cocktail lounge B&GC and a “gear garage” with loaner outdoor equipment.”

“The bedrooms at this eco-minded guesthouse in the city’s Five Points neighbourhood are popping with personality. The four suites incorporate designs by local artists, and the nine smaller rooms may have mural artwork, log-cabin stylings, a private deck or a hot tub.”
“In the Capital Hill neighborhood, the Castle Marne Bed & Breakfast is a nine-room inn in a 1889 Richardsonian Romanesque lava stone mansion, designed by William Lang.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Denver.
“Part of an eight-strong group, the Warwick adds a dash of charm to the usual chain experience with floor-to-ceiling windows in its classic and contemporary bedrooms.”
“Hotel Indigo opened in January 2017 and mixes industrial chic and Scandi minimalism with the friendly vibe Denver is famous for. The hotel’s restaurant, Hearth and Dram, is a destination in its own right.”
“This swanked-out hostel is an oasis for budget travelers. Stylish, modern and squeaky clean, dorms have themes – Aspen, Graffiti, Vintage Biker – and sleep five to 10 people in bunks. Mattresses are thick and duvets plush.”
