Who it’s NOT for: Travelers wanting modern/minimalist design — the appeal is Victorian-era grandeur and tradition, not contemporary style. Families wanting a pool-and-play resort — it's a historic downtown hotel with limited kid amenities. Deep-value travelers — it's a landmark-luxury price point. Anyone wanting a beach/mountain-view resort setting — it's an urban downtown block.
Biggest surprise: the atrium itself — a soaring eight-story stained-glass court where the famous afternoon tea is served — is a genuine architectural event, and the hotel's continuous operation since 1892 gives it real history (presidents, the Beatles, a private well beneath it).
Worth the money? yes for a culture-and-history traveler who wants to stay inside a Denver landmark with tradition and a great location.
Best room: rooms vary widely by wing and era in this historic building — some renovated, some more traditional; the atrium-facing and higher-floor rooms carry the character. FACT: ~241 rooms around the eight-story stained-glass atrium. Confirm current renovated vs. classic categories, quiet vs. street exposures, and suite tiers on the official site.
