Denver Hotels With the Best Views

From complimentary lattes at check-in to the “Gear Garage,” this Cherry Creek boutique hotel offers excellent service, unique amenities, and charm in spades.

Whether you’re seeking a one-night romantic getaway or a weeklong vacation full of outdoor adventure, a stay at the HALCYON is defined by the hotel’s unique approach to personalized service and complimentary amenities. Rooms are “designed to feel like a friend’s home” and include touches like a vinyl record player, yoga mat, and extra-large soaking tub. Some rooms and suites have a balcony, a great spot to enjoy a morning coffee from the in-room Nespresso machine while taking in Denver’s sweeping vistas.

There are multiple on-site dining options, and the real standout is Elevated Rooftop Bar. The bar area surrounds a large pool and is a lively year-round spot for sipping locally-sourced libations against the backdrop of the Rocky Mountains. The HALYCON goes above and beyond to provide experiences for its guests, and a great example of this is the hotel’s “Gear Garage” service. For those looking to travel light and still enjoy the hundreds of miles of recreational trails in the area, the Gear Garage provides complimentary access to equipment from bikes and snowshoes to GoPros and binoculars.

The Four Season always includes its youngest guests in its exemplary service, and with special offers and complimentary gifts, the Denver location lives up to the brand’s reputation as a great choice for families.

The Four Seasons is continually ranked as one of the best hotels in Denver, and its commitment to stellar service and personalized amenities really shows when it comes to offerings for their younger visitors. Upon check-in, kids get to pick a toy from the toy wagon at the reception desk. The hotel provides its signature mini-robes for kids, and there is also the option of an in-room play tent and gaming consoles.

The concierge can arrange for outings from the Denver Zoo to a family mountain biking excursion, and for a more low-key day, many guest reviews note how much kids love splashing around the property’s large outdoor pool. For those looking to unwind after a day of chasing their little ones around the city or mountains, the on-site spa offers a wide range of “relaxation experiences,” and signature steakhouse Edge is a great spot for a kid-free date night.

The Hyatt Place offers mountain-view rooms and a pool at a mid-level price, making it a great choice for those looking to stay downtown on a budget.

Hundreds of positive consumer reviews of the Hyatt Place note the cleanliness, large rooms, and the views. And while there’s no spa or full-service restaurant on-site, the hotel is located on the edge of the Golden Triangle neighborhood and conveniently within walking distance of tons of dining and recreation options. Amenities at the Hyatt include a large pool and complimentary breakfast. Higher-floor rooms overlook the downtown cityscape and the Rockies and are regularly available for under $200, making this a great value option for those seeking a downtown stay for less.   

Elegant rooms and the city’s highest-elevation rooftop bar make this a great choice for those seeking a romantic getaway.

Le Meredian is home to 54thirty, Denver’s highest open-air rooftop bar. Accordingly, the scene at this hotel is very lively. Rooms and common spaces are decorated in a style that blends traditional European luxury with modern sensibilities, which means lots of playful art and a very Jetson’s-esque fireplace in the lobby. Rooms are equipped with luxe features like marble bathrooms, Malin+Goetz toiletries, and illy espresso machines. Higher floor rooms have sweeping views of the city skylines and the space feels sophisticated and elegant, ideal for an intimate escape.

There’s no pool or spa on-site at this property, but the fitness center does have Peloton bikes and an array of other equipment, and the downtown location means basically any other recreation activity is available within walking distance. Beyond the well-appointed interiors and breathtaking city views, the hotel bar is a perfect spot for couples. Whether you are spending your day adventuring or relaxing, there’s no better place to grab a nightcap and overlook the city.

The Art Hotel is a funky space that is particularly well-situated for those who want to explore Denver’s museum district.

The artwork on display throughout the Art Hotel is an homage to the hotel’s location at the center of Denver’s museum district. The hotel is a few minutes' walk from the Denver Art Museum and the Clyfford Still Museum, making this an especially great spot for those drawn to Denver for its cultural offerings. Beyond the conversation-piece installations and great location, the Art Hotel offers amenities like a fitness center and business center and the Fire Restaurant & Lounge, situated on an open-air terrace overlooking the city. Rooms are available with both mountain and city views, and those looking to really take advantage of the hotel’s location can book a suite with a private balcony.

The Crawford’s location inside Union Station makes this an especially great choice for those traveling via Amtrak, plus there’s a lot to be charmed by at the Crawford.

Union Station isn’t just a transportation hub. The recently renovated station is sometimes referred to as “Denver’s living room,” and the grand and photogenic 100-year-old building is home to some of the area’s most popular bars and restaurants. The Crawford Hotel is the only accommodation located inside the station, and it pays homage to its historic surroundings with a décor style reminiscent of luxurious, 20th-century train cars.

Although the hotel doesn’t have its own restaurant, many of Denver’s most popular dining spots are located just downstairs in the station, and the hotel’s partnerships mean guests can take advantage of lots of discounts and freebies. Those especially keen on views can book a suite with a balcony overlooking the station and the surrounding LoDo neighborhood.
