Such a gorgeous train station! There's a bar, multiple restaurants, shops, places to sit, relax. Unfortunately I didn't get to enjoy too much because I went after everything was closed. However we were able to walk around and enjoy the architecture. Downside is parking. There's street paid metered parking, but know it can get super packed on any given day. Really pretty place to take pictures too. I think there's a hotel inside as well :) read more

Enjoyed the past few mornings including today, sitting here in the station as we savored hot caffeinated drinks from the Pigtrain cafe. Lots of comfortable seating available. Tons of fun people watching. And beware putting your luggage or your feet up on any furniture as you'll be reprimanded by the staff here who are keeping the place clean and civilized for everybody. ;) We asked the gentleman at the information desk about taking the train back to the airport this afternoon. He was throughly helpful. It's $10 a person, tix purchased at an automated kiosk, and the Aline comes every 15 minutes. Convenient! read more

Denver's Union Station is full of history, good eats/drinks, and the beginning or end of trip stories. I am not too aware of all the history behind the building, but I look forward to soon. There are plenty of places to eat and have a drink in and around Union Station (breakfast spot, coffee spot, at least 2 bars I'm aware of, etc). It really is a nice place to both begin and end trips. It is hard to explain but I'm sure you'll know what I'm talking about when you see it. It is also a nice place to get some work done. There are plenty of places to sit and plug in. Keep in mind that the bathrooms downstairs are open to the public so you may see some interesting things and individuals there. read more

I 100% recommend taking the train to/from the airport if you are staying in the Union Station neighborhood. Clean and efficient trains, every 15 minutes during the day. MUCH cheaper and quicker than Uber...especially during peak times. read more

I LovE Denver's Union station. I have lived in and visited many other cities (over time, so they may have renovated since) but Denver's Union station feels so fresh and modern with historic bones - not just like historic and old or something. I love Cooper Lounge upstairs where you can get a classy espresso martini and have an elevated experience and watch the activity below. There is so much going on in all of the various wings of this place! A hotel, other restaurants, at Christmas there is a holiday popup in the basement, a ticketing station, etc! I've really only been to the main area and love the new beautiful installment of Pigtrain Coffee. I love the fancy pistachio pastry dessert at Baumé and the Christmas tree decor this past year was AMAZE. I feel like it represents a standard that people will experience throughout Denver in their travels like if they just arrived there via Union Station or are relatively new. It's a vibe of quality that permeates throughout. read more

For rail travelers, Denver Union's main issue is that it's more a series of outdoor tracks and not so much of a station. It's ok, it gets the job done but there is no real waiting area for the trains, no Amtrak lounge, no signage boards, and no easy way to know where you're going. Downtown is very close, which is nice, but a station building would be nice. read more

I've always enjoyed coming to the station and on this day it was not crowded and perfect to rest the legs after 5 days of snowboarding before taking the train to the airport. The music was at a perfect level and we rested before touring the area on a gorgeous spring day. read more

We took the train in from the airport and were greeted by Denver Union Station. It's beautiful inside and the lights on the outside at night were iconic. We didn't spend too much time here, but we were so thankful that travelling by train was so easy for the trip. We didn't even rent a car, we just hopped on a few trains and took a couple Uber rides. If you're visiting I would definitely recommend checking it out and travelling by train here. read more

It was an unexpected way to start our day for our tour group to meet here! This was one highlight of our Denver trip! It almost was a miniature quieter image of Grand Central Station. With actual pews for waiting and stores, bar, snack and coffee places to grab. Felt more secure with the guards in it. The power plugs that are in plain sight were all locked tho but we were able to find one with the help of the information lady. Must stop! read more

Union Station is beautiful inside. We took the light rail from Denver airport to Union Station for only $10 per person. That's an amazing price since Denver airport is so far from downtown. It's easily a 5/5 for convenience to get to and from the airport. You simply just purchase a ticket at one of their machines. The ride to the airport is about 30 minutes. There's a variety of restaurants and stores in here. I saw a wine bar, ice cream shop, hotel, book store, coffee shop. It has it all. It can get crowded but I always found a seat while waiting for my tour to pick me up at the front entrance. There are plenty of restaurants all around the area also. read more

Friend took me here during my trip and I had this inherit fear that it was gonna be as disgusting as LA Union Station and reek of piss, but I'm glad it didn't. It is actually a transit center for Amtrak from what I've seen, but it's very clean and looks high end and fancy inside. Definitely a feast for the eyes on the outside with its historical look and the small synchronized water fountain outside too. There's an upstairs level and a couple business kiosks selling things like flowers, chocolates, fancy pastries, etc. There's restaurants, quick service food restaurants, a shoe shiner, and other gift stores. If you're in Downtown Denver, it's definitely worth a visit, especially since there's a free bus you can take up and down the way to and from Union Station! read more

Union Station is in the heart of downtown Denver, the renovated 1914 Beaux-Arts train station is home to chef-owned restaurants & bars, boutiques and the Crawford Hotel. The station fully reopened in July after a month's long renovation, unveiling new furniture & murals, as well as the updated Cooper Lounge, a second-floor cocktail bar with city views on one side and the station's Great Hall on the other, making it an ideal people-watching perch. There are many charming shops & restaurants in this historic station. Ultreia is a modern-classic restaurant with a high-ceilinged room that resembles an art gallery, with wallpaper in the style of a landscape painting that depicts cows and Denver. read more

We were told we had to stop by Denver Union Station on our visit to Denver as it had nice architecture and lively meeting places. So naturally, we came at night when most of the businesses were closed. But walking around, there were some nice restaurants, shops, and a bar. If I was traveling by train, this would be a wonderful greeting upon arrival. Great central location in Denver. Plenty of restaurants, bars, and hotels nearby. Looked surprisingly impressive at night when we walked up. Guess this is what they meant by admiring the architecture? Looked a lot grander than one would expect from a train station. read more

A surprisingly nice train station that also seems to serve as a hotel and mall. The architecture is old school yet with a modern twist, really highlighting the historic importance of the landmark while still catering to the needs of modern travelers that might be facing a flight delay or be waiting for their ride. The train to the airport is $10, runs on 15 minute cycles during the day, and takes just about 40-45 minutes. It's the first track exiting the station (I didn't see any signs and had to ask someone). I bought my ticket at the kiosk next to the track. While I was on the train, I took a nap and no one checked my ticket, so I'm not sure if there's usually a conductor that does that. read more

I was visiting Denver and used public transportation the whole time we were here. I took the train from the airport to Union station. The RTD app was easy to navigate. You can find it with a qr code at the airport or use the terminals to buy a ticket. It's $10 for a ticket. The train was clean, and the ticket checker was kind (even when people hadn't purchased their tickets before boarding). Union station is gorgeous with lots of shops, dining, and coffee. Right outside is a stop for the free mall bus that goes around downtown. read more

First time taking Amtrak. I am going to Glenwood Springs to have a 2 day vacation soaking in the Glenwood Hot Springs. I bought my round-trip thru the Amtrak app for $158 in coach. You walk past the ticket office towards Snooze to the Bag Check window next to the Bag pickup door. No Bag fee. I got a baggage tag. I went out to track 4. The conductor scanned the QR code on the app. I entered the last car. My seat was on the upper deck on the left side. Nice seat that reclines and has an adjustable foot rest + a tray table. This train had 2 diesel engines, a baggage car, 3 sleeper cars, the dining car on the upper deck, the observation car up top and a small Cafe on the lower level and 2 lounge cars. The lounge cars had restrooms on the lower level. Stairs are a bit tight, no elevators. The observation car is first come first serve. When the staff announces that the dining car is open, you wait near the entrance to be seated. No self seating and no private seats. I shared a table with two other people. I had a good breakfast of French toast with blueberries and whipped cream with crispy bacon. It was freshly prepared and good. Breakfast is $20 & lunch is $25 for passengers in coach seats. They accept or card. If you bought a sleeper room, the dining is included. Only dinner requires reservations. Going into the foothills, the best view is on the left side and going thru Glenwood Canyon on the right side. They made a 10 minute stop at Fraser-Winter Park with shuttle service to Winter Park ski area. I went outside briefly. There is one other stop in Granby for ticketed passengers only. We arrived 10 minutes early. read more

Aloha to da MILE HIGH CITY! This efficient light rail makes Metro magic happen for the heart of Denver and the outlying suburbs. It also makes going to the world class DIA a breeze on the A-Line! A HUGE Shout out for the Colorado taxpayers & federal dollars that made this commuter rail possible! As a disabled Veteran, I also appreciate the complimentary ride! Security on and off the train is not only visible, but also friendly and professional. Access for those with disabilities is easy and the modified bike racks are very convenient to the active lifestyle of those locals utilizing Pedal Power or Electric bikes as part of their commute. The ride is smooth & scenic, passing the hustle & bustle of the surrounding overloaded freeways during rush hour. I find a train ride very relaxing and the Union Station has a nice variety of coffee shops & is in walking distance of many local shops, restaurants and Whole Foods Market. Definitely the best way to get around town without the hassle of traffic. There's always an occasional issue that pops up due to unforeseen issues but the RTD has a tested contingency plan that keeps the line a rolling. Continuous AI verbal updates on stops and direction of travel are broadcast at each stop. Automated kiosks make buying tickets easy a click of your iPhone. Those traveling in and out of Colorado by air can ease the burden of long pickup & drop off lines that occur during peak airline arrivals. The huge escalator at the Hilton Hotel entrance leading to the train tracks below helps with your airport arrival and departure to Union Station. Great efficient commute on RTD! read more

Union Station is pretty cool these days. There are good restaurants and shops, my son loves the fountains in the summer and the giant teeter totters they've got out now are super fun. We were in last weekend to meet friends traveling through to CA by train. The decorations were beautiful and really put one in the holiday spirit. Unfortunately one of the station staff was having a really bad day. She got on us about standing in one place for too long (my husband, 5 yo, and infant in her stroller were waiting for me to get our coffee order) and then I witnessed the same staff member engaging in an altercation with a woman who was merely hanging out at a nearby table with her family. read more

Bring back the previous security guards. The new security guards are rude, obnoxious and make for a very unpleasant time at this beautiful historic Denver location. Also the entire security personnel needs to be educated on ADA laws regarding services animals. They act like they're above Federal Laws and are eventually going to get Union Station sued over violations of ADA laws. Actually surprised that hasn't happened already. The staff at all the various businesses inside Union Station are extremely courteous and very helpful. read more

When Denver airport constructed their own train station, we started taking the train to Denver Union Station in the downtown area rather than renting a car or taking a rideshare. The train is one of the most convenient and cheapest transportation options for us anytime we visit Denver. This train starts at the airport and ends at the Union Station, with numerous stops in between. Anywhere beyond that you will have to switch trains. The Denver Union Station has lots of good stuff inside and outside surrounding it, including a bar and a bookstore. What's very convenient for us here is that it's only steps away from one of the 16th Street Mall bus stops, where we can easily hop on and head straight to our hotel. Our last visit, we ended up taking the train to the Union Station from the airport, but took a rideshare to the airport when our vacation was over, just to save time due to ongoing 16th Street Mall construction. If I end up traveling to downtown Denver again, by myself or with someone else, Denver Union Station will definitely be my destination to start my trip here. read more

If you are visiting Denver, you have to stop by this historic building. On my first ever trip here, I was visiting a friend of my mine that had moved here and she recommended meeting here. We had breakfast at one of the restaurants inside Union Station and then we took time to explore this place afterwards. Denver Union Station was built in 1881, but was renovated in 2012 to be a transit-oriented mixed-use development. Denver Union Station partners with Amtrak and RTD to offer travel options for travelers coming in and out of Denver. I had a long layover in Denver recently and took the RTD to Union Station from the airport to grab lunch and explore the city. Union Station has around ten restaurants, bars and boutiques. You can also stay at the 112-room Crawford Hotel on the upper level. They even host events for Derby Day, St. Patrick's Day and Opening Day for the Rockies. Denver Union Station is a great place to gather and meet while still honoring its past. I personally enjoy people watching while hanging out in the Great Hall area. Take a few minutes and stand in front of this building and marvel at its impressive architecture and the 80-foot clock tower at the center. read more

On the last day of my trip to Colorado, I planned to return my rental car in downtown Denver and then take the train back to the airport from Union Station. With a couple of hours to spare, I decided to hang out in the station. I quickly regretted not planning more time here--there's so much to see, do, and eat! It was the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the charm of this historic landmark, especially with a delicious cup of coffee in hand. One nice surprise was that the bus ride from the rental car drop-off to the train station was completely free. Next time I visit, I'd love to stay at the hotel right in the station--it seemed like such a great spot. The train ride to the airport was very affordable, and I really enjoyed taking in the city's scenery on my way back. If you haven't been to Union Station, I highly recommend checking it out! read more

Union Station is the transportation hub for The Mile High City, offering access to RTD's front-range bus route, the free 16th Street Mall shuttle, the free Downtown Denver Circulator, the FasTracks light rail line and Amtrak trains. The beautiful building is a landmark in the city of Denver and it is nicely lit at night for all to admire. With its urban locale, Union Station might seem like an unlikely spot to find fresh, local produce, but you can do just that every Saturday from mid-May to mid-October. Between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m., farmers and food producers set up shop on Denver Union Station Plaza for the Union Station Farmers Market, offering fresh local fare, from fruits and veggies to cheese and fresh-baked bread. Union Station is also the site of Denver's latest urban beekeeping program, with four hives located on the roof of the building. The station and its restaurants partnered on the project, so honey and honeycombs produced on-site are often featured in special pastries, drinks and other treats.
