Restaurant

Richard Sandoval's Pan-Latin kitchen serves ceviche and grilled octopus, and tables on the patio surround a stone fire pit.
How it began
The hotel takes its name from Clio, the Greek muse of history, recalling the 1858 gold strike along Cherry Creek.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
