The 8 Best Boutique Hotels in Denver
From the oldest of the old—1891 and 1892, respectively—to brand new—2017—and everything in between, Denver's boutique hotels have a storied history. Denver hoteliers are fond of adaptive re-use, transforming old banks, railroad and streetcar buildings, and even former department stores into modern accommodations. Boutique hotels in Denver mean a unique experience, often in a one-of-a-kind building.
Halcyon
Why it made the list
The first boutique hotel to open in Denver's Cherry Creek neighborhood in more than a decade, Halcyon aims to be an escape for adults. Impressive doesn't fully cover the experience of the Gear Garage, where guests can borrow a host of sporting equipment, skateboards, cameras, record players, and even a 50cc scooter.
Kimpton Hotel Born
Why it made the list
The newest property on this list, Kimpton Hotel Born is mere steps from the A Line light rail and Union Station's many dining options. It's crazy pet-friendly and has not one, but two restaurants on the main floor. One of those, Tavernetta, is a critical darling that's the hottest table in town.
The Maven Hotel
Why it made the list
One of the newest buildings in an old historic district, The Maven is a Denver boutique hotel with serious personality. The concrete building anchors the new Dairy Block, a development with an activated alley, a food hall, and bars and entertainment. The bathrooms are enormous—a rarity among hotels.
Hotel Monaco
Why it made the list
One of the first boutique hotels to open in Denver, Kimpton Hotel Monaco Denver is spread across two distinct Denver landmarks: the 1909/1913 Beaux arts style Railway Exchange Building and the 1937 art moderne New Building. The decor is fantastic, the on-site spa is a lovely Aveda-stocked getaway, and the hotel's restaurant, Panzano, has been a Denver favorite since it opened.
Oxford Hotel
Why it made the list
The oldest hotel in Denver, the Oxford made quite a splash when it opened. It was the first hotel weary travelers stumbled upon after traveling from the East in the railroad glory days. A testament to Victorian character, the lovingly restored building also has the best (yes, really, we're sure) bar in Denver, The Cruise Room.
The ART Hotel
Why it made the list
How can you beat a location right next to a premier two-building art museum? By joining them and adding your own private collection. The ART Hotel is a new boutique hotel in a new Denver building that oozes style, boasts an impressive gallery of contemporary art, and has a killer rooftop patio.
Hotel Teatro
Why it made the list
The lobby, which boasts three kinds and colors of marble, was an indulgent choice even in 1911. Now restored to its deserved luster, this Denver boutique hotel is like a little jewel set among newer skyscrapers. Each room is a little bit different, but with premium fixtures and features and an awesome restaurant.
The Crawford Hotel
Why it made the list
This Denver boutique hotel helps anchor the revitalized Union Station in Denver. What once was a major travel hub, beginning as far back as 1880, is now a top-of-the-line boutique hotel in one of the city's hottest areas. With the gleaming new Union Station neighborhood to the back and the historic Lower Downtown district at the front, The Crawford Hotel is surrounded by some of the city's best dining and nightlife.
