Stayed here recently for the first time. What a great place! It's located right near Union Train station, which we took direction from airport. It's also located a few minutes from the light rail which we took to and from Empower at Mike High for the Morgan Wallen show. Our basic room was very nice. Air conditions was great as well as the bathroom shower was extremely clean. They are Chase preferred hotel so we got some nice upgrades. I'd definitely stay here again.

Limelight Denver Downtown is a great hotel overall. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and modern, and the location near Union Station is excellent. We booked through Chase Travel's The Edit, and the benefits were truly impressive. The welcome amenities (snacks, Perrier, and a small wine bottle) were a great touch. We also received a room upgrade, dining credits, spa access, and the option for an Audi test drive -- easily one of the best credit card hotel experiences we've had. Most of the staff were friendly and professional, but we did have one poor front desk experience during check-in. The staff member was disengaged, avoided eye contact, and spoke very quickly without making sure we understood the details, which felt unwelcoming. Aside from that, everything else was excellent. Would definitely stay again, especially when booking through Chase The Edit.

I don't think we will touch any of this! A review said they were charged for moving items in the refrigerator!

Melanie and Lily greeted us with a choice of beer or wine spritzer! SERIOUSLY???? What a way to start our trip! We instantly fell in love with this hotel! There are so many amenities!!! They gave us 2 $10 per room per day coupons towards food and beverage at Ajax Downtown restaurant. Melanie also told us our room key gets us into a local art museum!!!

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!

Charcuterie board and wine to greet us

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

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.

The space had good audio, enough space for up to around 30-45 people, and the staff were very attentive. The food provided was mediocre but I don't really expect much from hotel conference room type food. I have never stayed a night at the Monaco but it seemed like a decent enough hotel in the heart of downtown. They also have free bikes to rent which is really cool. If you are visiting Denver, I would definitely take advantage of that and head over to the Platte River and take in what Denver has to offer.

The reviews raved about a quaint little boutique hotel in the downtown area. The pros: the room appeared to be clean, the bed was comfortable and the hotel was surprisingly quiet for the most part. (Not including the trash truck in the alleyway outside our window at 7am) The cons: The hotel looked nothing like the photos. I was told they apparently had a small fire in the main lobby a few weeks before. The entire lobby had large white sheets covering half of the lobby and bicycles everywhere for patrons to use. The "living room" was also under construction and was anything but inviting. Hotel staff was unpleasant to deal with during check-in. The shower in our room was disgusting. The floor had several cracks and was covered in stains. The bathroom door required both hands to forcibly open and close the door. The outlets nearest the bed were both on lampshades with usb connections and unable to accept usb-c adapters. The desk had two outlets and beneath the desk was a mess of plugs attached to one over used outlet. On checkout, the staff was even rudder then check-in, if that was even possible. They also charged an additional $30 a night for use of "amenities" even though the entire lobby and "living room" were in shambles. Total joke of a hotel. Never again.

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.

Breakfast is served daily, it's supposed to be until 10, I would leave to drop my son off and be back at 0945 and daily they would be cleaning out the food options. The food was hot or miss with quality, and sometimes there were apples or sometimes bananas, nothing consistent. The first 5 days the cereal was Cheerios and labeled gluten free, the other container had lucky charms and was labeled as Chex gluten free. Thank goodness my child knew that it was lucky charms and indeed gluten. The internet was spotty, I was working from the premises the entire time and often had to use my own hotspot. The washing machine for guest use requires quarters, which you have to buy from the front desk with cash. Two times the washer broke during use and I had to bag soaking wet clothes to hand over to maintenance to take to be washed. There is only one washer and dryer. Very disappointing for a long length of stay. Also in the age of technology there are several hotels that laundry is managed with an app, allowing me to pay via app and see how much long is left and if the machines are available. There is a lack of trash receptacles in the hotel. There are none on each floor by the elevator. Myself as well as others on our floor would leave a bag of trash outside of our room daily as we don't want our room to smell like the food we ate all day/night. On our first full day here we took it down to look for a trash can and the one outside the front doors where people unload their vehicle was overflowing, we noted this multiple days of our stay. Housekeeping were friendly in the halls, they service rooms once every 3 days. Since I was working in the room and I kept the room clean we used the sign on the door to opt to have them come when we were ready. If I saw them in the halls it was easy to get trash bags, towels and cups. One day we requested service and sat in the lobby working all day and they never came by. Keep in mind it's a refresh, our bed was already made and we keep our room clean, I just wanted a tidy of the bathroom counter, towels etc. I had to reach out to the front desk to ask around 415 for service but it needed to be quick because we were coming back to the room. They were able to oblige and serviced it quickly. The refrigerators are very small and not cold, perhaps an option in some rooms for people with lengthier stays to have a larger refrigerator and freezer options. We couldn't purchase any frozen items for our lengthy stay with only a small fridge. The location is nice, easy to get to anywhere on campus or to the downtown area, performing arts area etc. several Ubers are often in the area for further driving needs. Over all of we came to Denver for a long stay I might consider staying here but would look at options with better amenities for food and wash. For a short stay it would meet my needs.

The bed was turned down with chocolates on top, and the pillows were nice (some were light/fluffy and others were thick/substantial). The elevators were fast and plentiful, which was helpful because I was on the 14th floor. I was at the Ritz for a conference, and the amenities were nice, especially the food and snacks. My room felt a bit dated and dinged up. The clothes steamer was a nice touch, but the top part was broken and hot water dripped onto my hand constantly. The room gave me some mild allergies, which I don't normally get at hotels. My eyes were very itchy. Also, the first night I went to sleep, a moth landed on my head and woke me up. I only saw the one moth, but it was enough to keep me a bit on edge while trying to sleep. The staff and bellhops were very nice, as expected. I was a bit surprised when I couldn't get a mildly late checkout--I was hoping for a 1pm checkout instead of the typical noon. The nice person at the front desk thanked me or my Marriott Bonvoy Gold Elite status (which usually gets me a 2pm checkout) and then said I can't have a late checkout with that status, no idea why... it was a Wednesday. Hah, it wasn't a big deal, just surprising. At any rate, the Ritz was nice but with some room for improvement needed at that price point and level of prestige. I would for sure stay there again.

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
