'Denver's grande dame has been the epicenter of Mile High City elegance since 1892, where cattle barons once sealed deals and modern travelers still experience Victorian grandeur.'
What's Special?
This National Historic Landmark features a stunning nine-story atrium lobby with intricate cast-iron balconies and stained glass ceiling. The hotel sits on the original "sacred triangle" of land that couldn't be purchased during Denver's early development, making it one of the few triangular-shaped hotels in the world. Every US President since Teddy Roosevelt has stayed here, and the hotel's artesian well still provides naturally pure water from 750 feet underground.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book afternoon tea in the atrium lobby – it's been a Denver tradition for over 130 years and offers the best vantage point to admire the hotel's architectural marvel while enjoying live piano music.
Don't Miss
