Historic tramway building
A cozy theater-district gathering spot where guests unwind by the fireplace in The Study over craft cocktails.
“First impressions? Towering bookshelves, comfy leather couches, and abundant reading lights feel like a well-to-do professor's library in this 110-room theater district hotel.”

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Smallish and reservedly stylish, it’s all intimate elegance, its 111 guest rooms fashioned from Indonesian sandstone and marble and outfitted with luxurious earth-toned Art Deco furnishings.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Denver Center for the Performing Arts sits directly across Fourteenth Street, and the 16th Street pedestrian walk is around the corner.

The rooms
Guestrooms are finished in Indonesian sandstone, and king corner rooms add deep soaking tubs beside floor-to-ceiling windows.
Restaurant
The Nickel
Barrels of aging whiskey sit above the zinc bar, which pours house-aged cocktails alongside seasonal Colorado cooking.
How it began
The 1911 building served as the Denver Tramway Company headquarters, running the city's electric streetcar network until 1950.
