Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary or looking to shake off the latest round of jet lag, there is nothing like sinking into the lap of luxury at a top-tier hotel. If you’re stopping in Denver, you’ve lucked out. The Mile-High City is home to some of the best hotels in the country.
- Four Seasons
The Four Seasons is located in an iconic, 45-storey building in the heart of downtown Denver. You can expect best-in-class dining at the Edge restaurant, courtesy of globetrotting executive chef, Simon Purvis. You can also stop in for a drink at the Edge bar, one of Denver’s hot spots. The rooms are spacious and offer spectacular views of the theater district and the Rocky Mountains. The Four Seasons offers childcare services and keeps a doctor or nurse on call for any medical needs you might experience.
- Ritz-Carlton
The Ritz-Carlton name is virtually synonymous with luxury, and that is just as true in Denver as it is in London or Tokyo. Every room is 550 sq. feet or more and offer featherbeds, hi-def LCD televisions, and safes. You can dine at Elways, the famous in-house restaurant, known for its wine list and steaks. You can also take advantage of the fitness club to keep up with your workout or let go of some stress with a massage in the spa. The Ritz-Carlton’s location in downtown Denver puts the Performing Arts Center and the Botanical Gardens in easy reach.

Hotel Monaco
If luxury is your game, but you’re looking for something a little different, consider the Hotel Monaco. The boutique hotel features a western motif befitting its Colorado home, but offers Old World charm with Italian cuisine at Panzano. As an added bonus for the animal lover, Hotel Monaco is pet-friendly. For the eco-conscious traveler, you can take in the sights and sounds of Denver on one of the hotel’s bicycles. The hotel also understands that sometimes business must come before pleasure. It maintains a 24-hour business center for your use.
- Brown Palace
For a splash of history in your luxury cocktail, you might consider the Brown Hotel. The Brown has hosted Presidents, foreign dignitaries and even the Beatles. You can even stay in the same suites used by Presidents Eisenhower and Reagan. The Brown hosts six restaurants for your dining pleasure and the Churchill lounge is not to be missed.
- Hotel Teatro
Consistently rated as not only one of Denver’s best hotels, but the world’s best hotels, Teatro is a hotel for the theater lover. Teatro maintains a curated collection of photographs and costumes that help to chronicle past productions of the Denver Theater company. If you’re traveling on business, Teatro is a mere two blocks from the Denver Convention Center. When the day is done, you can enjoy the culinary styling of executive chef Christopher Thompson at The Nickel.
For the weary traveler or celebrating family that seeks luxury, Denver offers an extraordinary selection of hotels. The most difficult part for you may be trying to pick just one of the many world-class options. In the end, though, none of them will disappoint.
