Clayton Hotel & Members Club - Cherry Creek, Denver
Denver, Colorado
Cherry Creek
Vibe
Guests gain honorary club membership, mingling with Denver creatives across cozy leather seating areas, coworking parlours, and an oak billiards table.
“Convivial members parlour”
Mid-century lines paired with warm timber, brass accents, and custom furnishings inspired by Colorado rock formations.
Italian Sferra linens, plush terry robes, and attentive service across several member dining and lounge venues.
A private members clubhouse granting guests full access to co-working parlours and a lively rooftop pool bar.
In Cherry Creek North, walkable to independent boutiques, galleries, and restaurants a short drive from downtown Denver.
“Guests find themselves members of a surprisingly diverse society — one that draws heavily from Denver’s blossoming creative communities.”
Rooms
Mid-century spaces pair Prussian blue armoires with charcoal headboards, rosy half-frosted mirrors, and oversized walk-in rain showers.
“The members’ club facilities feel a cut above the usual hotel common areas. Think overstuffed leather sofas, thoughtfully curated contemporary art…”
Wellness
The year-round heated rooftop pool overlooks the Denver skyline, complemented by an all-hours gym with Peloton bikes and soothing steam rooms.
“the decor is minimal, but rooms are filled with unique details to fall for, including rosy-hued, half-frosted mirrors, banquette-style seating, and light fixtures in brass and fluted glass.”
Backstory
Replacing the former Inn at Cherry Creek, the property opened in 2021 to redefine private social clubs with an inclusive, creative spirit.
“In the chic Cherry Creek neighborhood, Clayton Members Club & Hotel has 63 rooms.”
Eat & drink
Downstairs, Alteño serves wood-fired Jalisco dishes and rare agave spirits, while the sixth-floor rooftop bar pours cocktails beside the pool.
The neighborhood
Set in Cherry Creek North, walkable blocks of independent fashion boutiques and art galleries lie just a mile from Denver Botanic Gardens.

Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
