What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The interiors balance neutral tones and textured fabrics with the occasional metal accent, and the rooms, several with mountain views, are generous in scale.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The front doors open onto Belleview Station, with the light rail just steps away for rides into downtown Denver.
The rooms
Picture windows look out across the city or mountains, lighting rooms layered with soft neutrals and textured wool throws.
Halo Rooftop Bar
Weekend evenings bring live vinyl DJ sets, with Front Range views stretching past the open-air bar.
Restaurant
Saverina
The open kitchen turns out wood-fired sourdough pizzas and house-made pastas crafted with local Colorado flour.
At the table
Velvet armchairs cluster around the lobby bar, where drinks are poured beneath illuminated shelving throughout the day.
How it began
The hotel takes its name from the claret cup cactus, a plant native to the Colorado landscape.
