All you need to know
Opened in 2018 as the very first hotel in Denver’s bustling River North Art District (RiNo), The Ramble Hotel is a masterclass in industrial elegance. Developed by local urban pioneer Ryan Diggins and designed alongside Avenue Interior Design and Johnson Nathan Strohe, the brick-and-timber property balances Denver’s rugged factory history with high-end luxury. Diggins deliberately avoided a hollow modern aesthetic, opting instead for hand-cut bricks laid by multi-generational masons to give the exterior an authentic, 100-year-old feel.
The building’s grand, high-ceilinged lobby takes its structural inspiration directly from 17th-century Parisian salons. In fact, the hotel’s name honors Catherine de Vivonne, the Marquise de Rambouillet, who famously hosted egalitarian societal gatherings in France. True to that history, the public spaces are built to spark conversation, juxtaposing raw concrete columns and steel-framed factory windows with plush velvet couches and opulent, custom-made crystal chandeliers.
The hotel’s crown jewel is its lobby bar, which famously serves as the first-ever expansion of New York City’s legendary cocktail institution, Death & Co. Transforming the space from morning coffee hub to moody evening lounge required brilliant engineering. Designers installed massive, 12-foot-tall custom steel panels filled with chicken-wire glass salvaged from New York’s iconic Rockefeller Center; the panels slide across floor tracks at sunset to seamlessly hide the daytime cafe equipment.
The attention to detail extends into the 50 residential-style guest rooms, which feature wide-plank hickory floors, antique Persian rugs, and custom steel furniture built by neighborhood craftsmen. Instead of electronic key cards, guests are handed real brass keys housed in custom leather pouches stamped by local artisans. For a breath of fresh air, the floor-to-ceiling warehouse windows actually open, allowing guests to hear the neighborhood bustle and catch the aromas of local kitchens below.
Stepping outside puts you right in the creative center of Denver. The surrounding blocks are packed with over a dozen craft breweries, independent art galleries, and the bustling Denver Central Market. Sports fans can take a quick nine-minute stroll over to Coors Field to catch a Colorado Rockies baseball game, while culture seekers are just a short distance from downtown landmarks like the historic Union Station and the Museum of Contemporary Art.

A really beautiful hotel in the RiNo district of Denver
The property was beautiful, the staff were super lovely and helpful, and the bed was very comfortable.
We were told we could use what we wanted on the mini-bar as the bar was closed upstairs for labor day. However the glasses and the spoon left on the bar were both dirty as if they hadn’t been cleaned so we didn’t use either. It didn’t bother us too much as we were jet lagged anyway but just thought the price was quite high for this to be the case.

Nice experience but would probably not go back because of value.
Unique and vibrant, great service and staff.
A bit over priced, especially given the location and lack of parking and forced to valet. Didn’t like the bathroom barn door, didn’t like the traditional key system for the room. Paid $50 CAD for two coffees and 3 baked goods.

Cool spot in Denver
I loved the location of this hotel. We were able to walk to great restaurants and shops. I also loved the design of the hotel - very cool, but still comfortable and tasteful. The front desk staff went out of their way to be kind and helpful.

An amazing property with amazing name
The room was wonderful. I have visited Death and Co at least three times and it was amazing to be able to bring my cocktail back to the room.

Loved it. Will come back!
Staff were amazing and so was the mini bar!
Barn doors never work as well as you want so it was hard to keep the bathroom door closed.

Wonderful staff with a great bar
The staff was very kind and accommodating. Loved the interior design and the room was very nice. Great robes!
The only concern was the location but everything is a close drive and we are happy we stayed here.

A nice but expensive hotel
The hotel is beautiful and the staff were lovely. The location is great if you want to spend time in the RiNo area. It’s close to bars and restaurants.
The bed was very uncomfortable and soft. Felt like sleeping on a hammock. However, It’s crazy expensive for what is a standard hotel.

Wonderful, would highly recommend
Hotel staff were extremely helpful. Great bars and eateries near by.
Rooms are somewhat small.

The Ramble is a Sexy Beast!
Great decor, ambiance, staff, food, drinks, etc.
Housekeeping hours weren't reliable, but we didn't really mind!!

A stylish spot in a cool neighborhood
The Ramble is a beautiful hotel with very cool style. Having Death & Co in the lobby was super cool. The RiNo neighborhood had a lot of great restaurants and shops to explore.
The rook itself was relatively small, though thoughtfully put together. The bathroom only has an exterior sliding door, so there isn’t much privacy. And the shower door was a bit awkward.

Beautiful property- fix that cocktail policy
It has a great vibe and the rooms were well planned
Having to make a reservation for a casual drink as a hotel guest is ridiculous and a turn off. Rope off some tables for guests.

We had a great stay and can't wait to return!
The atmosphere of the Ramble Hotel and the polite, friendly staff. The room was quiet and comfortable. We loved the interior and exterior of the Ramble Hotel. Loved the easy access to the coffee bar and the beautiful hotel bar. Walking around the historic neighborhoods was a plus.

Nothing easy here
It’s in a nice location close to a lot of restaurants and amenities.
The staff treats you like you’re a burden. The lobby turns into a bar that’s very crowded in the evening and you’ll have issues getting anything there. We were scolded and moved around the room several times by different employees with different ideas where we should stand while waiting for a seat. The windows in the room are huge but ours were directly across from apartments that you can see right into so you need to keep the blinds closed. The shower leaked horribly and there’s no where to put your suitcase in the room. Not for seasoned travelers but more gimmicky.

Soooo nice staying here! The place is beautiful and the staff are super helpful.
Star were incredibly nice and super accommodating
I think guests with a car should pay a one-time fee. Not $35 dlls every single time we would go to the hotel.

Fabulous
- Room was very clean - Very comfortable bed - The lobby is a very nice space to work in (available when Death and Co. isn't in service). Lots of natural light. - Espresso bar downstairs was good, and if you buy a drip coffee it comes with unlimited refills (use wisely)
- The iPad/sound system wasn't working in our room - We were only able to find 1 suitcase rack, that's miss for this category of hotel - Room was a little smaller than we expected and didn't have a desk - It's in the arts district which is a trendy area, but to us it didn't really feel like a walkable area

Disappointing
It's a beautiful space, and that's really what you're paying for. If you are motivated to do it for the gram - this is the place for you. Beautiful lobby and the rooms are cute. Friendly service.
The bed was TERRIBLE. I've slept on better mattresses in youth hostels. The pillows were incredibly lumpy and felt like they'd been stuffed with cotton balls. Enraged when I still couldn't fall asleep at 3:30am, I pulled the pillow case off to see what kind of dollar store brand pillows they'd stuck me with. I don't know why I did this - I don't know anything about pillows! The point is - this is the worst hotel bed I've ever slept on. And for the price - that's absolutely unacceptable. As others have noted, the rooms are small - but comparable with nice hotels in Europe. It's just tight, and you have to deal with the irritating new trend of no closet or luggage stand. Not the end of the world. It's basically a glorified bar with beds - if you're here for a bachelorette party, planning to (spend a small fortune to) get hammered at the bar and stumble upstairs to bed, this place would be awesome. Just don't stay here if you actually need to be functional the next day.

Fantastic place to rest and recharge
It was beautiful and the helpfulness of the staff can not be understated. The cocktails were phenomenal and overall we had a great stay
Breakfast was disappointing. Over $100 for in room dining has been expecting real cups and plates.

This place is like a warm hug from the minute you walk in. Such a cool lobby that sets the stage for a great stay
Cool and funky place. Welcoming staff. Great restaurant and bars on staff.
Rooms were quite tight. I missed some sort of luggage rack or even someplace to put luggage. Also, the taps didn’t produce overly hot water. Very warm, but not hot.

Lovely base-camp for comfort, conviviality and creative workers.
The Ramble is my go-to at least once per year when I am in Denver. It's vibrant, cozy and scrumptious - both for food and drink. It's a lovely urban retreat and a great place for a work base-camp as well, especially for meetings in the airy cafe.

Great for a Couple on a Quick Overnight
Great location in RiNo near lots of bars and restaurants. The aesthetic in the rooms is well done. Staff was very nice, from check in to valet and doorman.
The hotel doesn’t really have a lobby. The very busy bar and restaurant take up the whole lobby. It’s loud and hard to hear the employees checking you in. There was an almost constant group of people standing outside the door to get in the building and thankfully the door man made sure you were able to get through if you were a hotel guest. The room doesn’t have anywhere to put your bags or clothes. There are no dressers, no luggage rack, and only a couple of hangers. The sliding barn door on the bathroom didn’t stay closed.

Great hotel, loved it!
The hotel is beautiful, great location and incredibly friendly staff. Right in RiNo and 5 minute walk to LoDo. Great shops and restaurants near by.
Ran out of (refillable pump) shampoo in the shower. Also, didn't love the pillows.

thoroughly enjoyed being in the Rino district in Denver--young vibel
The staff was attentive and friendly. They were very responsive to any requests. The lobby which is a bar was very active and created good energy. There is no actual restaurant, which would be nice, but you can eat in the bar. Fitness room is small but it is a boutique hotel
larger work out area. formalized dining for quieter space. rooms are a bit small with not much space for luggage.
