Couples who enjoy the great outdoors and craft beer can’t go wrong with a romantic getaway in the Colorado capital. With the Rocky Mountains in the background, spend a night sipping champagne in the city center before escaping to a world-renowned ski resort, about a two-hour drive away. These are the most romantic hotels in Denver – bookable on Culture Trip.

If you want to pull out all the stops for your partner, look no further than the Brown Palace Hotel and Spa. Filled with old-school charm, this romantic hotel in Denver is the kind of place where you should wear a jacket and tie to dinner at the renowned restaurant, Palace Arms. Book a massage in the exclusive couples suite at the hotel spa, and don’t miss the Dom Pérignon champagne brunch at Ellyngton’s every Sunday, where you can sample four types of bubbly alongside a veritable buffet feast.

At the center of the music and theater district in the city, Hotel Teatro is a cozy boutique setting for a romantic sojourn. Make a reservation at the Nickel for dinner – Westword and MSN named it the best hotel restaurant in Denver. Try the extensive charcuterie platter, with hand-selected local meats, or tuck into the Mediterranean crusted salmon with creamy asparagus risotto. Finish the evening with a house barrel-aged bourbon cocktail at the Study.

Formally the American National Bank, this 1910 structure has been transformed into a grand, luxurious and romantic hotel in Denver. You can still spot the original bank clock outside. Inside, the rooms are light and airy with super comfy beds. The on-site restaurant, Harry’s, is a local favorite. Try the house-made banana bread french toast (doused in pure maple syrup) for brunch, or tuck into the short-rib stew in a red-wine-rosemary broth for dinner.

The Ramble Hotel

Inspired by Madame de Rambouillet’s 17th-century French salons, the Ramble is a quirky, creative hotel with a mix of industrial concrete columns, velvet armchairs and house plants. In the trendy River North Art District, you’ll be surrounded by art galleries and breweries for a memorable day out. After exploring the city, retreat to the hotel bar for a tequila-based Golden Beautiful cocktail from Death & Co, the famed NYC cocktail makers, before dining at Super Mega Bien, serving pan-Latin cuisine dim-sum style.

The Oxford Hotel

If you’re an old romantic, relive the Gilded Age at the oldest hotel in Denver, the Oxford. With Victorian or art deco elements, the rooms also feature Egyptian cotton-clad, king-size beds. After a Forget Me Knot couples massage at the on-site spa, wash down oysters from the Urban Farmer restaurant with a Daisy cocktail – vodka and yellow chartreuse with a twist of lemon, lime and cane syrup – a recipe from the 1882 Bartender’s Manual.
