What it’s good at
What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Dramatic black and white tiles are begging to be photographed at this hotel's downtown entrance, but not before you stop and stare at the tiny Marie-Antoinette mosaics on the reception walls.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
In Downtown Denver on California Street, one block from the Colorado Convention Center.
The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling windows brighten compact rooms finished in pale greys, with bright pillows adding small touches of color.
The gym
Large picture windows look onto downtown streets from the 24-hour fitness center, stocked with cardio machines and free weights.
Restaurant
Corinne Denver
Wood-beamed ceilings span the dining room, where an open kitchen turns out comfort classics from locally sourced ingredients.
At the table
54thirty sits on the 20th floor, serving shareable plates and drinks with views reaching out to the Rocky Mountains.
How it began
Hundreds of miniature hand-painted portraits of Marie Antoinette line the reception desk inside this 2017 high-rise.
