Inn at Cherry Creek
233 Clayton St., Denver, Colorado 80206, USA
Why We Like It
This small, relaxed place is a good mid-level alternative to the high-priced luxury hotels in the area. Each July, the Inn is in the middle of the Cherry Creek Arts Festival footprint, where 200+ artists from all over the world showcase and sell artworks. The Inn at Cherry Creek is surrounded by shops, dining, and coffee, and is mere blocks from the upscale Cherry Creek Shopping Center, a shopping destination featuring a mix of luxury and traditional mall retailers anchored by Nordstrom, Macy’s, Neiman Marcus, and the Restoration Hardware flagship store.
Fodor's Expert Review
This classic small property, with calming rooms and a subdued color palette, reminds that inns were the original boutique hotels. The Inn at Cherry Creek is a longtime tenant of Cherry Creek North, and opened before most other area properties. As a bonus, there is on-site parking, which can be a rarity in bustling Cherry Creek North.

What's Nearby
Getting Around
The hotel is a short drive to downtown and other area amenities. Rideshare and short-term car rentals are also easy to access. There are some city bus options that pick up within a few blocks, but the neighborhood itself is incredibly walkable.
Restaurants
A definite must-do is the coffee at Aviano (3-minute walk), where any coffee drink you order is a smooth delight. Dine al fresco at Crepes and Crepes (3-minute walk), with both sweet and savory options for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert. Hedge Row (10-minute walk), the newest concept from the team behind The Kitchen and Next Door farm-to-table restaurant concepts, is also worth a visit.
Bars
It’s good that Machete Tequila + Tacos (3-minute walk) is just a block from the Inn as their margaritas are strong and feature bold flavor combinations (try the smoky Oaxacan with mezcal and pineapple!). With more than 70 options, and three different sizes of pours, Vinue Food and Wine Bar (3-minute walk) is a oenophile’s paradise. Though the burgers get all the love, the bar or back patio at Cherry Cricket (1-minute walk) pub around the corner is a relaxed spot in which to try a Colorado craft beer or catch a televised game.
