Character and identity
Denver's original grand hotel sits in the Financial District behind a Colorado red granite facade, its Italian Renaissance bones wrapped around an eight-story atrium ringed with ornate cast-iron railings. The 243 rooms were stripped back and rebuilt in a $10.5 million 2015 overhaul, so the interiors read cream and sandstone with sapphire accents rather than period pastiche. Afternoon tea under the atrium, with a harpist and Devonshire cream shipped from England, is the signature ritual. Dining runs from Ellyngton's for brunch to the Palace Arms for Colorado game and a serious wine list, with a six-room spa rounding things out.
Who's it for
Best for:
Travellers who want historic architecture and a sense of occasion alongside modern comfort, multigenerational families doing a Denver weekend around the tea ritual, and business guests on expense accounts who value a walkable downtown address and a polished, formal welcome.
Should look elsewhere:
Design-forward guests chasing something current, or anyone who wants in-room tech and amenities worth talking about (expect competent but unremarkable flat-screens and docks). Solo budget travellers and a younger crowd will feel out of step with the suited, sober atmosphere.
Bottom line
What you're paying for is heritage with rooms that actually function: the 2015 refresh means the beds and bathrooms hold up, while the atrium tea, Palace Arms and spa give the stay its texture. Book a suite if you want the marble bathrooms and soaking tubs that justify the splurge; otherwise a standard king is plenty. Time a visit around the holidays for the atrium at its best.
