Union Station is not the kind of train station with just a Pret a Manger, Subway and McDonalds.

You’ll find locally-roasted coffee, award-winning chefs, farm-to-table meals, and a bar with more than a dozen local beers on tap.

Local stores and salons offer discounts for guests, and there are exclusive happy hours and freebies at other locations.

A stay at the hotel includes access to the Health and Fitness Center at the Oxford Hotel, just across the street.

How is the neighborhood? Anything interesting nearby?

Central location: In the heart of LoDo, close to Coors Field and museums.
Walkable city life: Easy access to shops, restaurants, and Larimer Square.
Plenty to explore: 16th Street Mall and downtown attractions nearby.

This hardly needs to be said, but the Crawford is ideal for anyone with an early flight. A simple and quick train to the airport is right down the stairs, and the famous California Zephyr runs through the station daily.

If you’re more curious about how you’ll get into the city than out of it, rest assured that Union Station has everything you need.

In the off chance that you want to go somewhere out of walking distance, public transport couldn’t be easier.

However, you’re in the heart of LoDo, just a few blocks away from Coors Field, the home of the Colorado Rockies, as well as the Denver Art Museum and the Denver Performing Arts Complex.

There’s plenty to see without getting in a car at all.

Head down to the 16th Street Mall, a pedestrian-friendly street lined with shops, restaurants, and entertainment options. Larimer Square will offer a variety of other places to hang out in and explore.

And what about the reviews? What did other guests think?

Some things guests liked:

”Lovely hotel with all the amenities, kind staff and a location with EVERYTHING you want/need! We loved taking the train in from the airport and landing right in our hotel! We loved using Union Station as our “living room” in the morning for coffee and in the evening for wine. Loved the easy, walkable location downtown close to shops/restaurants. It was just perfect!….”

”Loved the location, decor, vibes, restaurants and bar!! Loved being able to dine and relax under one roof. The decor was comfortable and beautiful. Can’t wait to return!…”

Some things guests didn’t like:

”The housekeeping staff could be a little more through when cleaning the rooms – one day they forgot to clean a dustbin, the next day they forgot to replace the coffee pods – small things but they make a big difference from an experience standpoint. Also, I did not like the use of the service elevator to go up to the rooms….”

”Seemed a bit over priced, especially the parking…..”
