Union Station
Anthony R.

We stayed at the Limelight while visiting for the Metallica 2 day concert. We thought this location was perfect. We were able to take the train from the airport as well as taking the light rail to the concert. This would be the perfect place to stay for any Denver professional sporting event. The rooms were very clean and spacious. The staff at the front desk were very welcoming and accommodating. The next time we are back in Denver we will definitely be staying here again.

Fantastic room!

All around great experience. I was greeted by very professional, friendly and helpful staff, Angela and Nick, when I arrived. My room was on the 12th floor and the room was great and only surpassed by the amazing view. Got a really nice surprise delivery from the hotel with chocolate, macaroons, wine and Perrier. Great location, very upscale and clean. Only one elevator worked which delayed things at times, otherwise a perfect stay! Angela and Nick even researched the best and closest running trail for our morning runs!

Really nice hotel! Checkin was a breeze and everyone at the front desk was great. My wife forgot her toothbrush and they brought up to our room a fairly complete oral hygiene kit with a toothbrush, toothpaste packets and mouthwash. I guess they are believers in those commercials that claim mouthwash is as good as floss. We got a free upgrade to a spa suite which was very nice. The hotel is pretty modern and I read that it changed its name from Kimpton several weeks ago, so it's possible the interior was just updated. The bed was comfortable and everything was very clean. In the lobby they had 2 bicycles which could be used for free by the guests. They also offered a car service which will drop you off within a one mile radius. We used this service once and the vehicle was a Tesla Model X--very nice! Denver airport is pretty far from the city of Denver. This hotel is located about a hundred feet from Union Station which is free July-August but otherwise a ticket to the airport is $10.50. We spent $55 taking an Uber from the airport to the hotel because I had not looked into the commuter train. We hopped on the train for our return flight and it was super convenient.

I stayed here for 2 nights for a work event and loved the charm of this place. It was previously the Kimpton born and just changed to limelight a few weeks ago. The hotel is only about 500 feet from union station making getting here from the airport a breeze via the light rail. There's also tons of dining options within walking distance. My room had floor to ceiling windows overlooking downtown. The room had rustic but very modern touches and an amazing tub. It was a very high end experience overall, staff was great, amazing location and exceptionally clean!

Paper thin towels

The hotel is fine, but the disappointing part is that I was trying to stay at a four star hotel and this is a three 3 1/2 at best. The shower is weak dribbles. The towels are substandard and the rooms are deficient. Don't get me wrong. It's a nice 3 to 3 1/2 star hotel not sure how it was rated the best hotel in Denver, by travel and leisure! Someone got paid to say that

First time in Denver and I am so glad we chose this hotel to explore the city. It has the best location in the heart of Denver downtown. Right next to the union station and has a lot of good restaurants around. Great amenities like free bikes you can rent. I love the vibes and the room was spacious and very trendy.

I made a reservation thru their website back in October. I was coming downtown on New Years Eve for dinner and then to watch the Night Lights Denver animation projection on the D & F tower + fireworks at midnight. The previous year I made a mistake thinking I could get home after the fireworks show and had to pay surge pricing on Lyft. So this year I wanted a better experience. Check-in was effortless. My room was on the fourth floor facing west away from any sound from Union Station nearby. Lots of blond wood accents throughout the hotel and dark wood in my room. They had sliding barn type doors to close access to bathroom & closet. My king size bed was nice and firm. I slept well with pillows that were soft. Plenty of lighting in the room. The flat screen TV worked. The heating system was easy to adjust and I had no problems. The shower was great. They provided body wash, shampoo and conditioner in pump bottles, not the usual micro bottles. Towel was fluffy. The entire room was very clean. I had breakfast New Years Day downstairs at Citizen Rail. A good brunch. I will be back to try their dinner menu. All in all, a very pleasant hotel experience.

If you're looking for a cool hotel a short walk from Union Station, The Maven is a great option. We were easily able to walk from the station with our luggage and our room was ready early! The vibe is very cool, eclectic, and modern. From the Airstream-style trailer by the front desk, where they give our churros at happy hour, to the great decor, to the adjoining food hall and cocktail bar- It was just what we were hoping for. A few notes: - If you want housekeeping, you have to ask for it. We didn't know this and were confused why the room wasn't getting refreshed. *Would love to see some small signage about this in the room or mention it at check-in. - Be ready to jot down all the perks when you arrive- from drink tickets for happy hour at the cocktail bar, to % off at the adjoining restaurant and bar, to a free drip coffee at Huck coffee (technically in the food hall? but literally just across the lobby), these are worth taking advantage of! Overall, a great stay and would recommend to others. Shout-out to Kodiak at the front desk who was lovely with all of our questions!

I was in Denver for a work trip and stayed at the Maven for 3 nights.

The location really can't be beat. You're right in the heart of LoDo. Coors Field is a few blocks from the hotel and Union Station (which connects directly to Denver Airport) is only about a 5 minute walk away. Tons of restaurants, bars, and things to do are all within walking distance, which makes it extremely convenient. When booking, I asked for a high floor, quiet room so I could work. Upon check-in, they honored that request and also upgraded my room from a Journeyman to an Innovator Suite which I greatly appreciated. That upgrade definitely elevated the stay! The Innovator Suite was fantastic. It had two queen beds, two TVs, a full sofa, wet bar, dining table, flexible workspace, and city views overlooking Denver's LoDo District. The bathroom had a large soaking tub, which I had to take advantage off. There's no balcony and while the wet bar includes a small fridge, it's not really functional for anything beyond drinks as there's no space for leftovers or larger items. You also get a token per night to redeem for a free drink at the bar during happy hour, plus free drip coffee in the mornings. Other perks include free churros during social hour, a courtesy car service within a 2 mile radius, and discounts at various shops. There's also a fitness center, although I didn't use it. There were some things missing though: no pool, no spa, housekeeping is by request only, and no breakfast included. Service throughout was excellent. There's 24 hour front desk service and everyone I interacted with was cheerful, helpful, and kind. Overall, a strong stay with great service, a fantastic room upgrade, and an excellent location, even if a few expected amenities were missing for the price. If I had to come back to Denver and the company was covering the bill, I would stay again. The location really can't be beat. If I were coming for a leisure trip with a similar budget, I'd probably look for a hotel with a pool and spa instead. This hotel is best suited for people who want to experience LoDo nightlife, catch a game, or just be right in the middle of everything downtown. The room I was upgraded to was probably much more expensive than what I actually paid, which definitely improved the experience. I'm not sure I would feel the same way if I had stayed in the original room I booked. 4.5 stars rounded down.

We stayed for three nights, and booked with a third party site, and it cost about $355 per night with tax. The hotel is located downtown and not far from Union Station, which made getting in from the airport via train very easy. From there, we were also able to catch a bus to Boulder for a day trip without any hassle. The hotel is within walking distance (about 10-15 minutes) of most downtown attractions, including bars, restaurants, and Coors Field. Anything farther was just a short car ride away. The rooms were spacious and well- designed, contemporary but still comfortable. The bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom was large. We also checked out the gym during our stay, which was bigger than expected and had a good mix of cardio machines and free weights. We did not end up dining at the hotel restaurant, but we did enjoy the Kimpton happy hour around 5pm, which was a nice perk and a fun way to unwind before heading out for the evening. Overall, a great option if you are staying in Denver, would recommend.

This one lives up to that expectation with the Art Deco feel. We only stayed for one night, but all service was outstanding, the room was spacious and comfortable, and surprisingly quiet even though we were closer to the elevator than I prefer. Nice location for Denver visitors, a block off 16th Street. I'm never excited to pay an amenity fee, but it's not surprising at a hotel like this...the nightcap is a nice touch for it, and they aren't stingy.

The original vault is off the main lobby and very impressive. The original bank must have kept a fortune in it because it is seriously massive. Rooms are modern and clean. Breakfast is on the second floor overlooking the lobby. Good breakfast in the lounge. Only issue is the elevators only allow guests to go to one floor at a time. Maybe it's that they are smaller or older. Or the technology is outdated, but it's frustrating until you realize the room key issue. I was going to only give them four stars because of this but the history won me over.

Our room type even came with two complimentary cocktails. The small touches really stood out: *Bodum French Press + ground beans for coffee (YES, every hotel should do this!). *Topo Designs backpack to borrow during your stay - a cool "try it out" experience. I didn't end up using it but loved the idea. *Bathroom setup with a separate vanity that had excellent lighting and even a steamer (!!). We had a courtyard view overlooking the patio bar. It was a little noisy on Saturday night, but the bar doesn't stay open too late. Beyond that, the hotel itself was impressively quiet - we didn't hear other guests at all. Overall, a stylish, comfortable, and thoughtful stay. Would absolutely return.

The ballroom we were in was well lit but not too bright that it hurt your eyes. The table was nicely laid and even with the salad and dessert on it, there was enough space.

The food served was delicious. The salad a nice mix of textures and tastes. The short rib tender and flavorful. And the dessert was light without the icing on top. The audio visual system worked well and we could hear the speakers clearly. Many attendees found parking in structures or lots around the hotel. But there is a valet option and charging stations for electric vehicles. I believe you can self park but I'm not sure. I parked in a nearby garage. The women's restroom has a little alcove area with a baby changing table and seating. Clean and well stocked, it was fabulous. A lot of my opinions about a location is based on their restrooms and this one impressed me. I would like to come again to experience more of the hotel.

The services were available but were not actively proffered. On the other hand, their spa was utterly fantastic! The hotel food was lackluster and focused on steak over anything else. They had other types of food, obviously, but steak was in plentiful abundance over anything. The housekeeping staff was amazing and on top of their game. The room quality was very good and spacious; larger than most hotels' suites. The in-room bar and mini-fridge were not free despite being labeled an "honor bar." I'm not cheap; I have no issue paying. My issue is the deceptive marketing of the so-called honor bar. The room's furniture was not cheap, but it did appear tacky with the illusion of being of quality. On the positive side, the staff were polite and attentive, and the room was cleaned while I was out. The view was also very impressive. Overall, with all things considered, I'd pick a different hotel; there are better hotels in the immediate area with a lower price tag and the spa is not worth it, despite its attentive and fantastic service. Score: 3.5/5.0

I ate twice here and left a separate outstanding review for them. My room was a very comfortable. I slept well on the King size bed and the rain style shower was awesome. The room also came with a tub and the hotel provided bath salts and bath ball for soaking. Normally, I would pass, but it was too good to not take advantage of. It was extremely relaxing.

Staying at the Hotel Teatro was a mistake we won't make twice…read more We were created by the friendly staff and checked in and offered a prosecco or soda. That was great and I highly recommend the prickly pear soda. They are walkable to a lot of restaurants and the opera house, and also offer car service within 2 miles. Very handy. But that's where the good ends for me. Our room was tucked up behind the elevators among a bunch of weird little stairs, like the most unimpressive Escher painting. It was very dark with only 2 lamps and 2 bedside lights. We could have opened the wall of windows, but because the doors and windows were not properly sealed, the only way to keep the freezing cold air rushing in was to keep the blackout curtains closed. The heat worked well, but cycled frequently and was very loud. The intake is next to the bed, so it disrupted our sleep. The fitness center was sad. There was one treadmill, one bike, one elliptical, and one weight bench, which is fine, but only 5-12 lb and 25-50lb weights (nothing between). Also, it was 82 degrees and there is no cold water available. It does not appear to have been swept or vacuumed in weeks. I used one of 2 beat up mats and from the ground could really see the filth. At check in, we were given a wooden nickel ($10 credit) for each night and told we could use it in the hotel restaurant, The Nickel. They only offer breakfast in Saturday and Sunday, so we went our 2nd day. I got the shakshuka, and when it arrived there were 2 poached eggs on top, not cooked in the sauce. NBD until I took a bite and all the sauce was room temp, as though it has just come out of a jar. There were areas slightly above room temperature, like it had been under a heat lamp. Wildly disappointing. My BF thought his avocado toast was pretty basic for the price. We tried to spend our last wooden nickel that night, getting a drink there, and were told it was only good in the other lounge area, which is odd since we both heard them tell us the nickel was for the Nickel. We ended up paying $42 for 2 small apps (a single croquette and 3 tiny gourges) and a glass of wine. I wouldn't have gotten anything but we wanted to burn the credit and BF wanted a snack with his wine. So we paid full price. Overall, very expensive for what it was. This is a 3-star hotel on it's best day, and someone needs to investigate the kitchen. We also feel deceived about the daily credit.
