"Urban cool and alpine comfort pair perfectly at this sexy boutique hotel, the first location in the Centennial State from Hyatt’s lifestyle brand, Thompson. New York City design firm Parts & Labor is behind the mid-century look of the hotel’s 216 rooms and suites, where woven wool rugs cover the wide-plank hardwood floors and saddle leather headboards are a nod to the city’s Western spirit. Amenities, such as D.S. & Durga bath products and Drybar hair dryers, have been thoughtfully curated. Chez Maggy, chef Ludo Lefebvre’s first foray outside of Los Angeles, was perhaps more hyped than the hotel opening. Located on the lobby level, the restaurant channels a French brasserie by way of the Rocky Mountains, with dishes like bison tartare and trout almondine. And the sixth-floor lounge, Reynard Social, has become a local hot spot for happy hour thanks to its city views, globally inspired nibbles (soy-bourbon wings, fried cauliflower with mole and red pepper chimichurri), and outstanding cocktails, like the Crimes and Tricks, made with mezcal, vermouth, and prickly pear syrup." - Megan Barber, Nicholas DeRenzo
