The Ritz-Carlton, Denver, a 5-diamond Gem

Courtesy of The Ritz-Carlton, Denver

In a city known for its vibrant energy, one address stands apart: The Ritz-Carlton, Denver. As the first AAA five-diamond property in the Mile High City, having held the glittering rating since 2010, it offers an exclusive haven for discerning travelers. Step into a realm where impeccable service and sparkling amenities create an unforgettable escape at this storied hotel.

205 guest rooms on property include 47 suites and 32 Club Level rooms. Located in Denver’s Financial District, the hotel plays host to rock stars and professional athletes, businesspeople and leisure travelers alike with its accessibility to nearby attractions, arenas and activities. Curated artwork and color palates celebrate the more natural side of Colorado, harkening to slope side streams, native wildflowers and mountain peaks. The rooms themselves are bright and light, with city and mountain views. For guests staying in the Presidential Suite, not only will you enjoy the 2,605 square feet of luxurious space, but make sure to take advantage of the complimentary pressing of two garments per night to look as refreshed as you feel.

ELWAY’S Downtown has been a staple of the Denver culinary scene since opening in 2008, well before out-of-state interests began to eye Denver as a culinary hotspot. A joint venture between former Denver Broncos Quarterback John Elway and culinary businessman Tim Schmidt, the steakhouse recently underwent an opulent renewal. Envisioning a restaurant where friends, families and business professionals could gather, the tasteful nods to Denver history and natural textures make for an excellent dining experience while enjoying premier steaks, Colorado-crafted cocktails, and superb seafood.

The spa at The Ritz-Carlton, Denver has long-been a go-to for me to enjoy massage services and spa treatments. With each of the rooms named after a Colorado waterfall, your stress begins to melt away like a Spring thaw as soon as you step foot into the space. Whether enjoying a Colorado River Stone massage, an Age-Defying Facial, or a Body Balancer treatment, relaxation and rejuvenation can be found in the 6,000 square foot spa facility. For a workout, enjoy the fully equipped gym (and maybe book yourself an Herbal Peaks Poultice Massage right after to soothe away any post-workout soreness.)

The walkability of the hotel is fantastic, with Denver just outside the front door. 16thStreet Mall, a main artery of the city, is steps from the property serving as a throughfare for visitors to The Capital, Denver Center for Performing Arts, Union Station and other cultural destinations such as the Denver Art Museum and Coors Field. Walking, biking, taking a car, or even a scooter will have guests eagerly exploring the surrounding area.

For those guests looking to lounge and take in the views of the city and Front Range, Club Level is just the spot. With five culinary presentations a day, an open bar, and relaxing lounge style seating, guests can unwind in this full-service club level experience. A personal favorite are the cookies found in grab-and-go jars.
