    Beautiful hotel but I wouldn't recommend catering services for one of their private dining rooms. Food was prepared by Panzano, the restaurant on the main floor, but the quality and experience is completely different. Our large party dined in the main restaurant and I hosted another private party in one of the hotel's private wine cellar rooms. The menu was the same, but the taste was not.

    The Kimpton Hotel Monaco is well situated in downtown Denver close to the main arteries on 16 and 17th Streets. I booked three rooms for the family last minute bookings. The hotel was full. So we had to wait 45 minutes to check in after 4pm which was not cool. Hannah tried to be as helpful as she could be. But the place was a real casino and it was not royal. Valet parking is at $63 per day, so fairly pricey. The Wi-Fi is not working - super slow on the download as they had network problems for the entire two days of our stay. Since we book with Amex we had the $100 per room credit which is a great perk that we used for our dinner at their Italian restaurant. They changed us in a larger room as soon as they could and we do appreciate the attention. So overall a good experience with some minuses.

    Stopped here on the way to the ski resorts and had a great time. Just 2 blocks from the 16th st pedestrian mall with lots of restaurant options. Joaquin at the front desk gave us a warm welcome and was very helpful. They offer complimentary wine tasting 4-6 PM and whiskey/Amaro from 8-10 in their cozy lobby with a fire place. Only downside was the main elevator was being serviced so had to use the service elevator, but luckily it wasn't too busy. You can pay for valet parking or self park at nearby garages.

    Note from engineering about a/c units.

    I have stayed at many IHG properties to earn Diamond status. This is by far the worst and most exp property I have stayed at to date. My husband and I are full-time caregivers to a bed ridden parent along with our full time careers. So we decided to spurge and stay at a lux boutique style hotel. I think we paid around $300 a night after trading in some points. Regular price for our king executive suite was around $4-450 per night. When checking in it was pointed out that I had used points for the stay. But in a manner like I had my room comped. Or something. Made me feel less than. Blake could have been nicer. We walked into our room. It was very spacious and nicely appointed. But it was hot and muggy. The a/c was off. So. I turned it on. After 2-3 hours, the room was still pretty warm. So I texted the front desk to ask for two fans. One for each large room. They said no problem and that they would let engineering know. Housekeeping brought up a small desk fan. That would just have to do. We received a note from the engineer that the units are old, they need replaced, nothing they could do. Even if we moved to another room. Probably would not be better. So we stayed. See attached photo of note. The pillows go completely flat when you lay on them. Even stacked up. The mattress is worn out. Gets thin when you lay on it and you can feel the springs. There is also black mold in the bathroom. Not sure why that hasn't just been bleached and cleaned. problem solved. The bathroom linens were frayed and thin. The elevators also went out while we were there for the last two days. There was a service elevator where you had to walk through the staff areas of a restaurant to get to it. Very weird. The signs telling us about this issue were worn so it must happen regularly. I don't understand how a hotel brand such aa this let's it hotel become so run down. I have stayed at $80-90 a night hotels that were better. I did reply to a text message from Hannah asking to rate my stay to that point. I said 3. She asked me to explain my review. I provided all this feedback minus the black mold. Forgot to include it. Zero response. 99% of the time we stay at Holiday Inn Express and Suites. Great hotel. Nice linens. Pillows. Best mattress. How can a company like IHG operate a lower scale brand so much better than a much higher brand hotel like Kimpton. So sad. I will not stay at this brand hotel again.

    Stayed here for a conference and truly the staff made the experience. Extremely kind and accommodating. If not for that, I think I would've had more to say but, they can only do so much. Loved the wine happy hour daily, coffee/tea bar in the morning, and the late night cap. Definitely a hipster like hotel, nice lobby, but what I noticed was a weird smell. I noticed the same in my actual room- reminded me a bit of a dirty diaper. I sprayed Lysol and even asked for air freshener which they kindly provided but, it never really went away. The elevators were down, so you had to go through the hotel restaurant, pass the hostess desk to the service elevator to get to your room. Kind of a bummer considering this is NOT a cheap hotel. I had higher expectations for a Kimpton hotel accommodations wise but, the staff is top tier. A nice renovation would make this hotel.

    I'm surprised this has 4 stars tbh. Came here for a board meeting so I thought it was going to be nice. That, and the price $570 for 2 nights. When you walk in through the automatic doors you can see bowls set out for dogs bc the hotel is pet friendly. But it smells like feces in that area and throughout the lobby. I brought it up during check in and the front desk teen blamed it on roadwork outside. But it did not smell at all when we pulled up for valet. (Valet was funny too--was like "well get out of your car what are you waiting for" type vibes. $20-80 for overnight. Paid $20 for 15 minutes tops. This is because we ended up seeing the room and going back down to request a refund to stay somewhere else. Ripped carpet, chipping paint, worn down furniture. There is a downtown Denver Hyatt that was cheaper $460 and much better quality.

    Great hotel, service, staff, and restaurant. Came for the night and was immediately greeted by the valet. They helped with all my bags, took the car, and helped me into the hotel. Front desk was ready for my arrival and got me into my room quickly. The massive windows and super HIGH ceilings made the room feel grand! Loved it! At the end of the night I hung my room service order on the door for the next morning. The food did arrive a little unexpected. It was in bags and not on a cart like most hotels do. Either way, the food was still good and as ordered. It also arrived on time. Gym was kinda lame. Bunch of cardio machines. Heaviest dumbbell was 35lbs.

We weren't quite sure where to enter from the back parking lot, but we saw a "Wine Tasting This Way" sign that led us through an area being set up for a wedding...whoops! Not sure if the sign had been moved or simply hadn't been moved for the wedding. Once we made our way to the tasting area, it was extremely busy and we had no idea where or how to check in. We eventually asked someone who came up to the register to check out another guest, and they promptly got us checked in. The tasting itself was nice, we tasted about 20 diff wines, and we had a lovely girl serving us. Unfortunately, the biggest disappointment was as first time visitors, we weren't given any info about how the tasting experience worked. It took about an hour and a half, and we didn't receive the advertised tour that was included. After the tasting, we were ready to purchase some wine and waited behind another couple who was checking out. However, no one ever acknowledged us or came over to help us check out. I think this place is probably great, but the disorganized check-in, lack of clear signage, and inattentive staff made the experience more difficult. As first time visitors, we would have loved a little more guidance.

Then when he did acknowledge me and I stated I would sit at the bar, it took several minutes for the bartender to acknowledge me. The staff was busy speaking to each other and doing side work. Once I was acknowledged, things started getting a little better. When I arrived during breakfast/brunch, I was informed they were in the middle of a menu change, so my choices were limited. Breakfast items include bacon and burritos. I started off with a charcuterie board (though I had asked for a fromage board). This was not only because I wanted some tasty cheese, but I was trying to kill time until the lunch/dinner menu started. The board was a great board, two different meats, three cheeses, a loaf of bread, some nuts and jellies. But it was 40 dollars! I had a few small plates (which was still a lot of food). I had a melon and cucumber salad, which was a good palate cleanser. I also had the roasted king mushrooms, which were underwhelming with no seasoning, and they were a little chewy. The best thing was the wild boar meatballs, which were seasoned really well and in a savory, delicious marinara sauce. All the cocktails were fruity (but not sweet) and refreshing. I had one that was carrot based (Kiss my Carrot with tequila, cointreau, carrot, orange, and ginger), one that had pineapple flavor (paper boat with rum, falernum, aperol, lemon, pineapple), and the smoky smoke and flower (hibiscus mezcal, cointreau, pama, rose water). This spot is a winery, so they have a large wine list. They have handhelds like burgers and flatbreads. Starters like artichoke dip and bruschetta. Some of the current entrees, which might change, are hanger steak, chilean salmon, cauliflower steak. They had a gnocchi dish I was interested in, but it's already been removed from the menu. The restaurant is classy and just like a winery is expected to be. The food is pretty good. But the service was really subpar.

There are afternoon specials, so check their website and buy tickets before you arrive to get a deal. I will say, that because the exteriors of all the holes are raised to keep the ball inside, it made me a little nervous due to the tripping hazards of each hole. My 80 yr old parents enjoyed it, but I was stressed that they were going to lose their balance and fall over. I'm only mentioning this in case you're bringing some senior citizens or people with lower mobility. Otherwise it was fun and the staff was super nice.

Puttshack is a hip spot with a number of 9-hole mini golf courses inside. They have a full bar and serve food, but we just chose to play golf. The scoring is the coolest part here. The balls have chips in them, and the course knows where your ball is at all times. It scores the round for you, and each hole has additional challenges called "supertubes". Scoring is backwards from traditional golf, so you'll want as many points as you can to win. The pricing on weekdays is super reasonable here, and that's why we delayed our visit to our last day in Denver. The other days we were in town fell on a weekend, and the prices felt kind of outrageous for weekend golf. If you can, I would certainly stick to visiting Puttshack on the weekdays. It was also nearly empty during our visit, which made it much more enjoyable. I would return to a Puttshack for the fun gameplay and cool scoring mechanics. Just be sure to watch the pricing tiers based on the day of your visit!

They can't/won't cut in half. Ok, whatever. I don't understand what the big deal is, they obviously posses knives... just cut them instead of saying "no". So stupid. 20ish Minutes after waiting, the person who took my order said it would be 30 minutes to make.

So, I declined as now we are talking an hour to get 20 simple breakfast burritos. I needed to get to work and I wasn't wanting to wait an entire hour and they just wasted 20 minutes of my time not prepping anything, so I decided not to go with the burritos. Someone came to refund my sale and then preceded to kind of scold me for not ordering in advance. He said something about for an order like 20 burritos they want 2 days heads up. GTF outta here. It's freaking burritos. You don't need 2 days to make 20 burritos. And here's the thing, I'm not here for a lecture because I attempted to give YOU business. And I won't be back, either. When you get a customer to purchase your goods, be happy. Provide them the goods. Make it as soon as you can. Don't say no for no reason. Don't make anyone feel bad for trying to give you business. It would have been SOOOOO simple to make the burritos and quick run the knife through them. But, no, the choice was to do nothing for almost a half hour, to refuse to run a knife through them as asked, and then lecture a customer for coming in to order 20 items. It's not like I asked for 100. What if 10 customers came in and each ordered 2? Can you do that? Do they get lectured, too, or...? See ya.

This is a timed, coursed dinner where the entire room sits and eats together, so arriving on time is essential. The format creates a restaurant wide dinner party feel, which sets the tone for the night. Everything feels intentional, from the pacing to the service to the design of the space. The menu changes often and is never repeated, which makes the experience feel special and creative rather than formulaic. Standout dishes for me included the duck doughnut, the wood ear French toast, the venison burger, and the leek cappuccino. The kanpachi crudo and scallop with tamarind were also beautifully balanced, and desserts like Cash's Apple and The Sphere were thoughtful finishes rather than an afterthought. One of the more memorable details was the menu book at the end of the night, featuring the chef's original sketches of the dishes. It's a small touch that really reinforces how personal and considered the experience is.
