I had the most wonderful experience staying at Castle Marne for business. The Castle itself is an historic treasure. Gorgeous and spectacular as a structure but also comfortable, friendly and warm. The service, bed, room, food, bath, parlor, people- nothing could have been better. The family that owns the place makes you feel like a treasured guest and a dear family friend all at the same time. Just the right amount of luxury and warmth combined with delicious food (breakfast, tea time, and bedtime cookies) all lend themselves to a tremendous experience. I was there for business and enjoyed every bit of the location including walkability to delicious restaurants and fantastic Denver sites like the Denver Art Museum and Clifford Still Museum (although I'd recommend taking a cab back). Perfect cappuccinos are only a couple blocks from the Castle. Plus you get to learn about the rich history of late 19th century architecture of the movers and shakers of old Denver. Thank goodness for the family who has rescued and been maintaining this fabulous BnB since the late 80s. Can't wait to go back and take my family next time. read more

My fiancee and I agree that Castle Marne is by far the best B&B (or lodging in general) that we have every stayed in. The historical building is breathtaking, both outside and inside. A lot of love was put into keeping it gorgeous. The staff are lovely and go the extra mile to make sure you are comfortable and feel welcome. The breakfast food we had was delicious, and they happily made accommodations for me (vegetarian and gluten free). One of the little touches my fiancee and I still talk about is the tea and homemade cookies they put out every evening. If we ever return to Denver, we will not even consider staying anywhere else! I seriously can't say enough wonderful things about this B&B! read more

Well this incredible place has now wrecked my future lodging experiences, as I can't imagine Any other stacking up against it. Walking into the 2 story lodge room, it was like visiting the aftermath of a luxurious remodel on HGTV. Rustic, but with some beautiful industrial elements thrown in, the place walked right out of the pages of ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST. Truth be told I'm not a big bed and breakfast fan, but the castle Marne has made me rethink my past biases against them. During the 5 star breakfast (the muffins and quiche were perfect) 1 of the owners, Louie, gave us a history of the building and after eating offered up a tour, which included a wonderful story about the antique turntable, playing the record of one of the Marnes favorite guests, Tiny Tim, gave as a gift...Tiptoe thru the Tulips. This will now be my only consideration for lodging in Denver. What an amazing place! read more

Awesome place. My wife and I enjoyed spending our time here. We loved the historic building, the well-decorated room, and all the attention to detail on the property. The food was delicious, and the staff made every effort to ensure we had an enjoyable stay. We really enjoyed the renovation photos, too. That was really fun to see all the hard work they put into restoring this wonderful property. read more

I think the earlier reviews were fairly accurate. We enjoyed our stay here at the castle Marne. the staff was very nice, and they seem to have toned down some of negative behaviors criticized in earlier reviews. This family run business is an example of enthusiastic proprietors marketing to their guests while attempting to give excellent service. The repeated asking for positive reviews on TripAdvisor was borderline obnoxious. Hopefully they will learn that reviews come from the heart and shouldn't be asked for. Excellent experiences lead to excellent reviews voluntarily. Overall this bread and breakfast was very charming, the staff accommodating, and the food was very good. We enjoyed it for one night. The room (Melissa's) was small, yet comfortable. We felt it was a good value through Priceline. Melissa really went above and beyond to get us a reservation for dinner in a great suggested restaurant (Parallel Seventeen - check my review on this restaurant) when we checked in after 9 pm. She had made several calls to other places but was not able to get us a table on a very busy night. She persisted and seemed to have a strong knowledge of the local eateries and have name rapport with their staff. We had a wonderful meal. read more

See all

This Bed and Breakfast is located in a really cool neighborhood in Denver with bars and shops within walking distance. I stayed in my own building right across the street from the castle looking main building, which was decorated for Christmas...a very nice touch. It felt like being at home inside. Then I stepped outside into Denver. I loved the decorating. It felt a little like being in a ski lodge. The staff was very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The cookies and muffins were a great touch, as well. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g33388-d74443-r546841682-Castle_Marne_Bed_Breakfast-Denver_Colorado.html# read more

My wife and I had a most enjoyable night stay at the Castle. Melissa and the staff were very personable and completely focused on our well being. The room was great and the breakfast was outstanding. I would heartily recommend the Castle Marne to those looking for a B&B in the Denver area. read more

Wonderful and very unique B&B in a great location in Denver. Tried to find "boutique" hotels as we passed through Denver and almost all others were just upscale fancy hotels with no real character. I guess the word boutique has lost some of its meaning. But in our search we found this gem. The owners and the staff are just a delight. We are not usually B&B type of people, but really liked this historic place. The building is very unique and charming, and we would highly recommend it for anyone who does not want a sterile hotel room. There are various rooms to choose from depending on your taste and likes, the room we stayed in (Tower) was very comfortable and pleasant. We ended up extending our stay for an extra day. The breakfast is a delight. Don't miss it if you get a chance. read more

Hospitality is an art form here. Never have we felt so pampered, cared for and all in a magical little Victorian retreat surrounded by gardens. Downtown, theater music, all within walking distance- park your car and start exploring some of the best has to offer: botanical gardens just to the north, downtown and theater district to the west, really wonderful historic neighborhood and buildings all around. This place is the best, the owners are delightful, and the staff was terrific. We will be back. read more

Loved this place. It is truly a beautiful space - as the pictures show, but the hospitality is outstanding. The breakfast was great every day, and I loved having my own hot tub and table and chairs on the balcony to enjoy the lovely weather. Highly recommended. read more

Absolutely beautiful location and the most sweet and kind staff and owners. We were treated like family. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the breakfast/food is amazing! They care about the community and offered Veterans a free stay as a thank you for our service. We will definitely go back and would recommend this as a must stay stop in Denver! read more

Wonderful experience here. Very pleasant and helpful staff. Owner Jim is talkative and full of history. Minor problem with shower drip when we checked in, so they moved us to nicer room when it couldn't be fixed immediately. Breakfast of quiche Lorraine was very good. House is actually mansion built by same architect as, and with same floor plan as that of Molly Brown's mansion. read more

Fantastic Old B&B in a great part of town. Hospitality was amazing, bed incredibly comfortable and morning breakfast was wonderful. Plan on making it a go to stay wehn in Denver. Highly recommended..... read more

We had our corporate holiday party at Castle Marne and rented the entire place for a night of conversation, interactive murder mystery and delightful food. Melissa, Louie, and the entire staff at Castle Marne had us feeling at home from the time we walked in until the time we left. The experience was absolutely delightful-- each room is full of character and unique in its own way. Our team was truly touched by how polite, genuine, and trusting they were to let us do our thing throughout the Castle. The breakfast put the final "amazing" touch on our stay. The homemade bread had everyone going back for seconds, and even thirds. If you ever get the chance, don't pass it up, this is a place you must stay! read more

The best! My husband and I were married there, and not only were they accommodating, they made us feel like family. If 6 stars were an option I'd want to give 16. Thank you, again! read more

My husband (Ryan) and I eloped in Denver and could not have chosen a better place to take care of all the details! We were immediately upgraded to a different room, which was quite a surprise. Our day consisted of a brief but beautifully crafted ceremony, followed by a private candlelit dinner, complete with our own wedding cake from the talented folks at Mulberries Cake Shop. Melissa and Louie treated us like kings and made us feel like family...we cannot wait to find ourselves at Castle Marne again! read more

Absolutely loved this place. Cute, many original features and close to the artsy area of Denver. Owner is a delight - made me an exquisite vegan breakfast every morning and the staff were really helpful - for example going out of their way to find me a cell phone charger and just being really warm. Will never stay anywhere else in Denver! read more

Attention to detail! All the great details defined my stay at Castle Marne. I booked a room with a private hot tub and it was perfect for a romantic stay with my husband. Breakfast included violets from the garden, the staff was attentive and I loved learning the history of this beautiful Victorian home. I highly recommend the experience of staying here! read more

Absolutely phenomenal. My husband surprised me with a getaway to the castle, so I wasn't expecting it. I recommend ANYONE to stay here. The customer service is second to none. Started out with a detailed tour of the whole castle and concierge service to make us dinner reservations, then we had tea twice the first night and everything was so elegantly laid out. The whole castle is immaculate; Not a detail out of place and everything dusted. The bathroom had a claw foot tub that was original to the castle that was a classy touch. Very private and romantic with your own hot tub on the (almost) rooftop patio! Breakfast in the morning was splendid. A home cooked meal from the owner's father (first generation owner) and served to us on an oval dining table with fine China and anything you could ask for. It's the details, like pulling out a chair for me to sit and setting the napkin in my lap for me, that are the things you can't get anywhere else. Worth every penny! read more

My wife and I (young empty nesters) had a relaxing, wonderful stay. The staff and owners were amazingly helpful and accessible but never intrusive. The food was great. Afternoon tea and evening cookies were a nice surprise! You can walk to A LOT from the Inn. Even though we are not usually the B&B type we highly recommend it! read more

My husband surprised me with a visit to Castle Marne on a holiday, and I was absolutely thrilled when I realized we'd be staying there. The building looks so cool! Inside, it is also very nice, with lots of things to look at and discover. It was a wonderfully romantic trip, and I'm glad we stayed there, but there were a few drawbacks: *As another reviewer has noted, there is no air conditioning that I'm aware of. This was not a problem for us because we visited during cold weather, but it could be miserable during the summer. Avoid getting a room on the top floor or on the west or south side if visiting during warm weather. *The homemade cookies and tea in the evening are a nice touch, and I thoroughly enjoyed sitting in the beautiful parlor drinking my tea from a nice china cup, but the cookies weren't that great. Not bad, but nothing to commend. Tasted like they'd been sitting around a couple of days. *Having breakfast at a table with strangers was a little uncomfortable, but it was an interesting experience. However, the food was disappointing and not very plentiful. It wasn't awful, but you sure wouldn't go out of your way to eat here. *The owners, a multi-generational family, are very pleasant and friendly, but they are maybe just a little TOO friendly. I enjoyed hearing the history of the house and how they restored it, but one guy just talked and hung around a little too much. And he kept asking us to go to a particular website to leave a favorable review. (When I said I would probably leave a review on Yelp instead, he said, "I don't really have any use for that.") He got awkwardly persistent about it, bringing it up every time we saw him (including when he had everyone as a captive audience at the breakfast table). After one conversation with him, he said he had a "very special gift" for us, which turned out to just be a directory of other bed and breakfasts. He made a big production of it, as if he were doing us a huge favor giving it to us. This also came during breakfast, making us feel obligated to stop eating and pretend to peruse and admire his "gift" as he stood over the table supervising everyone. And during the meal, his tween daughter talked incessantly to the table. At first it was kind of cute and charming, but then it got a little obnoxious, especially when it became obvious that it was a "performance" with canned remarks. At one point she even got a little bit rude, remarking to a middle-aged guest, "You were alive when there were dinosaurs, right?" However, despite these things, I'm very glad we stayed at Castle Marne instead of at a cookie-cutter hotel. It was so romantic, my husband scored BIG points with me by taking me here. read more

This is a very friendly family-owned b&b with no shortage of beauty and history. I stayed in Melissas room and while the room itself was nice, the castle was worth it in itself, let alone the awesome garden they have. Location was great, close to the vine street brewpub and other dining and entertainment venues, minus the traffic. I was able to get a reasonable rate using a hotel search website but it was brought to my attention that not all profits go to the bed and breakfast when one books with a resource such as expedia or hotels.com. I would encourage anyone staying in Denver to look at Castle Marne, especially when the rates are comparable to a vanilla and impersonal holiday inn express. read more

A delightful experience at every level! It started with a very friendly quick tour of the Castle pointing out it's historical significance -- beautifully detailed wood accents, authentic Victorian decor, exquisite peacock stained glass window, light filled tower. Each room is unique and beautifully decorated, some with hot tubs and balconies. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable beds. Breakfasts were delicious and healthy. The teas were perfectly brewed and included delicious homemade pastries. Within easy walking distance of City Park and Zoo, and many good restaurants. Get your 10,000 steps in and you can walk to downtown Denver and take the free shuttle up and down the 16th street mall. Easy self pick up and drop off bicycle and scooter rentals available throughout downtown. Castle Marne has outdoor tables and in late spring and summer is surrounded by flowers and trellised grape vines. Warm homemade chocolate chip cookies in the evening completed our very memorable time at Castle Marne. read more

I had the wonderful experience of not only getting to stay here in their presidential suite, but my now husband and I got eloped here! I found this bed and breakfast online and knew instantly I wanted to book it and have a nice, private ceremony. When I called, unlike other businesses, I got a person after the second ring and every person I talked to was friendly and more than willing to help. Throughout the next few weeks, they kept in contact through email to make sure everything was being taken care of. I didn't realize an elopement could have so many options! They made the elopement seem special even weeks before we stayed! When I called to book them, they informed me only the presidential suite was available. Only the presidential suite?! It was perfect down to the bed. It has its own private balcony and you can smell the fresh flowers on the balcony and a whirlpool. It has a sleep number bed, which I will admit I didn't know how to use, but my husband enjoyed! They make you feel like you are not just a guest, but you are a long lost friend staying there. We chose to not hire a photographer due to the cost, and they took photos for us and got them sent to my email that same night! The private dinner was one of the best meals I had ever. They were so helpful and so kind, I even wanted to help them open the doors and get my own food! It was the perfect ceremony. We were able to do it outside and they made sure it was private and so special. They also accommodate to food preferences, which I feel is very important since food allergies are so common now. It's quiet and even though its downtown, you still feel like you are out of town. It's peaceful and the garden is absolutely gorgeous and the inside is clean and well taken care of. I would highly recommend this bed and breakfast to get married, eloped, or even just a overnight stay over a hotel/motel. You would not regret it with the service, the cleanliness, and the food! read more

A beautiful place to retreat to for a peaceful, romantic weekend. The family who runs the place are wonderful! We stayed there for our 15 year anniversary last June. A lovely stay. read more

The Castle Mane is a wonderful 19C stone mansion close to downtown and the arts district. It was fun to explore the house and neighborhood. It was like staying in a private home and enjoyed talking with the family that owns and runs the hotel. They are very thoughtful hosts. Soon after our stay we received a handwritten thank you note! read more

Recently stayed one night. They had a dinner option available. It was prepared by a local excellent chef and served in a professional manner. It provided a variety of tastes, textures and food not all previously exposed to my palate. It was also normal foods not the bone marrow and oyster patte on a cracker that some chefs think is great stuff. The inn is unique and the rooms were quiet and ours had a private outdoor hot tub. The hosts were very friendly and parking was available. If I am in Denver again it will be my place of choice. read more

I was extremely happy with my experience at Castle Marne. The owners and staff went out of their way to make me and the other guests welcome and comfortable. The highlight of every day was the first-rate breakfasts served in the dining room, complemented with friendly conversation with the owners, who explained the history of the mansion. I look forward to coming back and staying at Castle Marne! read more

I spent six days at this very beautiful family owned B & B. I stayed in Melissa's room which was comfortable and pretty. This castle is magnificent; the breakfast served is delicious, the ambience is very, very friendly. The location is terrific as it is close to excellent pubs and restaurants, and public transportation is easily accessible. I was able to walk to the Botanical Gardens, City Park and the Denver Science Museum. I highly recommend this establishment as being a wonderful place to stay. read more
