"America’s favorite pastime takes center stage—center field?—at this subtly baseball-themed hotel, which anchors the new McGregor Square development directly across the street from Coors Field. You’re so close to the stadium that you might almost feel like the pitcher could bust out your window with a particularly robust fastball. But don’t be fooled by the proximity to the action: Once you walk through the front door, the rowdiness of the stadium fades away, and you’re whisked into a surprisingly sophisticated boutique experience. The Rally doesn’t shy away from its theme, but it's more conceptual than overt. Take, for instance, the leather-panel walls with exaggerated red stitching in the lobby café, which captures the essence of a baseball and glove. The memorabilia that is on view, including signed bats and balls and bases, is housed in dimly-lit cases that look more like an elegant museum display than a theme resort." - Megan Barber, Nicholas DeRenzo
