Best Boutique Hotels in Denver
Denver's boutique hotel scene has grown up with the city's craft beer and food culture — LoDo, RiNo, and Capitol Hill all have independent properties worth seeking out.
Denver has become one of the most interesting American cities of the past decade, and its hotel scene has caught up. LoDo's converted warehouses along the 16th Street Mall, RiNo's arts district industrial spaces, and Capitol Hill's Victorian residential blocks have all produced boutique properties that reflect the city's increasingly cosmopolitan character.
LoDo (Lower Downtown)
The Oxford Hotel is Denver's oldest and most characterful boutique — an 1891 building with a saloon bar that has been in continuous operation since opening, a spa, and a location steps from Union Station. Crawford Hotel inside Union Station itself is the most architecturally dramatic lodging option in the city.
RiNo (River North Arts District)
RiNo has become Denver's most concentrated boutique hotel zone in the past five years. The Ramble Hotel on Walnut Street is the neighbourhood's anchor — a 50-room property with a cocktail bar programme that has become a destination in its own right, and a design that treats the neighbourhood's industrial heritage as an asset rather than an obstacle.
Capitol Hill & Uptown
Capitol Hill is Denver's most architecturally rich neighbourhood — Victorian homes, early 20th-century apartment buildings, and the Molly Brown House museum. Several boutique properties here occupy converted mansions and apartment buildings that have been maintained with more care than any new-build could manage.
