The Best Boutique Hotels in Denver (2023)

The Lowdown: Home to perhaps Denver’s coolest bar, Death & Co, The Ramble is an uber-stylish, 4-star boutique hotel in the city’s hip RiNo (River North) Arts District. The interiors are inspired by 17th-century Paris it is said. It has that old-world elegance and class but is also thoroughly hip and modern. It has an unmistakable New York vibe too. Their bar might take some of the blame. It was the highly regarded Death & Co Cocktail Bar’s first branch outside Manhattan. Rooms: The hotel’s 50 rooms vary in size, though none are really large it must be said, and the entry-level rooms are quite small. They are though lavishly dressed with antique Persian rugs, art deco chandeliers, hand-crafted furniture, quality linens and super comfortable beds. Mod cons include an iPad with a Bluetooth gramophone speaker, air-con, mini-bar, cable TV and insulated walls. Prices & Availability: Enter your dates and check prices at Expedia.com here.

Attached to the hotel is the almost as lovely Vauxhall Theater, which hosts a great range of events – plays, film screenings, concerts etc. The Ramble also has a small, functional fitness center open around the clock.
