4- and 5-star hotels in Denver
A shortlist of 4- and 5-star hotels in Denver, gathered for travellers who want a central base: most sit within about a kilometre of the centre, from Union Station and LoDo to the Downtown convention district, with one option further out near the university.
Staying in Denver
Denver pairs a compact, walkable downtown with a historic warehouse quarter and easy access to the Rockies. The 16th Street Mall and the Colorado Convention Center anchor the central business district, while LoDo around Union Station concentrates bars, restaurants and shops beside Coors Field. The city sits at 5,280 feet (1,609 meters), the reason for its Mile High nickname, and sunshine is plentiful year-round.
Almost every hotel here is in or beside Downtown and LoDo. Four Seasons Hotel Denver, The Ritz Carlton Denver, Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center and Le Meridien Denver Downtown put guests in the middle of the business and convention district. The Crawford Hotel, The Oxford Hotel, Limelight Denver, The Maven Hotel at Dairy Block and Kasa Union Station Denver cluster around Union Station and Wynkoop Street. The Ramble Hotel sits on 25th Street, Flora House Denver near Race Street, and Sonder University Park well south of the centre. It suits couples and short-break visitors who want to walk to dinner, and business travellers attending the convention centre; families have roomier apartment-style choices at Kasa.
