The Kimpton Hotel Monaco in downtown Denver wows with colorful, spacious rooms featuring upscale amenities, a vibrant lobby, and a top-notch Italian restaurant, all while being dog-friendly and just steps from the city's attractions.
"Kimpton Hotels are known for their playful energy—think nightly social hours, colorful design schemes, and pet-friendly amenities. Located within easy reach of downtown’s museums and theaters, as well as restaurants and shopping in LoDo and Larimer Square, the Hotel Monaco Denver fits the mold. Renovated guest rooms blend cool neutrals and bright accent hues with rich leather headboards, designer wallpaper, and yoga mats with a dedicated channel for guided workouts; spa rooms have separate soaking tubs, and suites have their own sitting areas and sleeper sofas. A $10 per night fee covers speedy internet, loaner bicycles, discounts on drinks at Denver ’s Family Jones distillery, and free coffee and evening wine. If you prefer imaginative cocktails, head to Panzano, a northern Italian restaurant with a surprising number of gluten-free items. But if a moment of bliss is all you need to revive you for another day of distillery hopping, the Aveda spa has a sauna and Vichy shower and provides five-minute chair massages during the evening social hour."

"What is your first impression of these Denver digs?This energetic downtown hotel starts with bold design the moment you step into the lobby; a one-of-a-kind, brightly colored ceiling is accompanied by geometric patterns and bold greens and reds. Nice. Who do you see here?Families, urban explorers, the business crowd; they all feel comfortable at the Hotel Monaco. How's the service?Helpful staff make check-in a breeze, and the "living room" lobby boasts coffee and tea service and a nightly wine happy hour to recharge. What stands out in your room?The recently renovated rooms are playful and fun, with bold floral wallpaper, rugged leather headboards, and original artwork from local artists. Even the most basic rooms come with an oversized work desk, and larger suites offer separate sitting rooms, huge showers, or soaking tubs. Are there any other little details that stand out in your room?In-room yoga mats, a yoga channel on the tv, and same-day laundry service are helpful small touches, but we really loved the upgraded, super-fast—and did we mention free—wifi available everywhere in the hotel. You mentioned a nightly happy hour. What are our options to refuel?The nightly complimentary wine and snacks—provided by the in-house restaurant, Panzano—in the lobby from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. is fun, but we prefer relaxing in Panzano's restaurant for a sit-down dinner. Expect well-executed antipasti, a range of soups and salads, and some of the best pasta in the city. Panzano also provides 24-hour room service, which means you can nosh on some gnocchi with a glass of red wine in your PJs. What else should we be sure to check out when staying at the Hotel Monaco?An on-site fitness center and spa fill the bill when you need it, but for our money we prefer taking the hotel's complimentary bicycles on a quick spin through the city. And if you can't leave Fido at home, the Hotel Monaco also is pet-friendly. Bottom line: worth it, and why?Good value, renovated rooms, and a top-notch onsite restaurant helps the Hotel Monaco stand out." - Megan Barber

"Panzano, the casual restaurant in the Kimpton Hotel Monaco focusing on sustainable Northern Italian cuisine, now has a new chef. Louisiana native Logan Stephenson takes over the kitchen that serves breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner daily." - Susan Stapleton
