The Oxford Hotel is one of the oldest in Denver and has a rich tradition of service and luxury. The on-site bar, the Cruise Room, is one of the best bars in Denver, so it is no surprise that the hotel itself is also a standout. While the Oxford is a large full-service hotel, each room is filled with unique antique furniture, along with TVs and remodeled bathrooms.

The main selling point at the Crawford is that it is home to several of the best restaurants, boutique shops and lively bars in Denver. Inside Union Station, the hotel is furnished in a signature style, with many rooms designed like train cars. It’s no doubt one of the coolest hotels in Colorado.

The Adagio is a cannabis-friendly inn. There are six unique rooms, but the hotel amenities are the real selling point. Each morning a delicious communal breakfast is prepared, and you’re encouraged to share stories and pipes as you dine. Also worth noting is the spa, which utilizes cannabis-infused therapies to ensure guests are über-relaxed.

The Lumber Baron Inn and Gardens is less of a hotel and more of an experience. It’s one of the most unique in the world and one of the coolest hotels in Colorado, as every night there’s an interactive Murder Mystery Show. Plan to stay here for one night, then move on to one of the other fabulous hotels on this list since you will likely not want to see the same show over and over. The rooms are perfect for relaxing after the show; if you stay at Lumber Baron, you’ll be delighted by the huge suites with soaking tubs.
