The accommodation options in Denver are as diverse as the city itself, with lavish hotels downtown, budget chains, and artsy rental apartments in lively neighborhoods. Stay long enough to explore the thriving food scene, art galleries, craft cocktail bars, and sports venues, or head out to the cloud-scraping Rocky Mountains for hiking, skiing, or kayaking. Here’s our pick of where to stay in Denver, Colorado.

1. Four Seasons Hotel Denver, for the best views

Expect to be spoiled rotten at this sumptuous hotel near the Boettcher Concert Hall. The Four Seasons Hotel Denver has free coffee and croissants in the lobby, a DVD library to raid, custom wood furnishings, and original artwork by contemporary Colorado artists. It’s also family-friendly, with child-size bathrobes, toy wagons, and kid-approved snacks, while the whole family will love the large rooftop pool. Don’t miss dinner at in-house Edge Restaurant for the shareable wagyu tomahawk and divine peanut-butter-and-jelly ice cream for dessert.

2. The Art Hotel, for modern art installations

The Art Hotel is one of the coolest places to stay in Denver, and art lovers are in for a treat. All of the best galleries and museums in the city are within walking distance of this downtown hotel in the Golden Triangle Creative District, while the hotel itself is devoted to creativity with curated art at every turn, including a 22,000-piece LED light installation by Leo Villareal. Rooms are equally stylish with Gilchrist & Soames bath products, Illy espresso machines, and floor-to-ceiling windows with unbeatable city or mountain views.

3. The Maven at Dairy Block, for a great neighborhood

Once the home of Windsor Dairy, the Dairy Block is now a micro-district in the LoDo neighborhood – an area that’s become the go-to place in Denver for premium coffee, craft cocktail bars, and unique dining. The Maven is an airy seven-story hotel connected to the Dairy Block at the corner of 19th Street and Wazee Street. Rooms are knowingly urban with disarming artwork, polished concrete ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling windows revealing views over the city, while a converted Airstream dishes out free margaritas each afternoon.

4. Kimpton Hotel Born, for thoughtful details

Encouraging you to leave your room and enjoy the city, the Kimpton Hotel Born has thought of everything. This place to stay in Denver has complimentary to-go coffee in the lobby, bicycles to borrow, and even a free happy hour each evening where you can mingle with other guests and staff. However, it’s still tempting to linger, with 50in streaming TVs, in-room yoga mats, more than 200 original artworks across the hotel, and rustic wood-fired meat and seafood dishes from on-site restaurant Citizen Rail.

5. Denver’s Urban Oasis, for a historic stay

Guesthouse, Short-term Rental

In the quiet residential neighborhood of Jefferson Park, this hip, historic townhouse is the Denver dream. With two bedrooms, which sleep up to four people, and two bathrooms, this Airbnb also features original exposed brick walls, vintage Hollywood posters, complimentary Netflix and Amazon Prime, and even a pinball machine. Make the most of the 300 days of sunshine a year in the tree-lined courtyard, which has fairy lights and a hot tub for soaking under the stars.

6. The Whittier Wonder, for a great location

Guesthouse, Short-term Rental

The booming art scene in Denver is mirrored in the thoughtful design details of this house, with original touches more typical of a boutique hotel – think vintage trunks, displays of antique typewriters and cameras, Edison bulb lighting, and soft leather sofas. From this art-filled home that sleeps six in three bedrooms, walk to nearby RiNo for street art, working studios, and galleries, or stay in and relax in the backyard with a cocktail or two.
