Renaissance Denver Downtown City Center Hotel

Best location. The Renaissance Denver Downtown City Center Hotel has an excellent location if you’re looking for best-located places to crash on your Denver business trip. Sitting in the heart of Denver’s financial district, the hotel sits in what was formerly the building of the Colorado National Bank, and is one of Denver’s most iconic structures. Plus, the Colorado Convention Center is a five-minute walk.

The business side of the hotel is impressive, to say the least. With 4,282 sq. ft. of total event space, this Renaissance outpost has 6 event rooms and 5 breakout rooms, with the largest event space featuring a capacity of 300 people. That, combined with modern technology, excellently curated menus, and an excellent staff resulted in our first company conference being a runaway success.

However, we wouldn’t want you to get too tied up in work, though – you’ll want to take advantage of the “Renaissance Navigators.” These well-trained and handy folk gave us tips on the best places in the city to impress clients, get some R&R, and also the best places to eat.

Kimpton Claret Hotel

Let’s get down to business at the Kimpton Claret Hotel, the second Kimpton property on this list. What makes this Kimpton outpost so amazing is that this hotel was perfect for all kinds of travelers, including work-from-home getaways, workcations, and those on traditional business trips and conference goers. If there’s one place that gets “bleisure” (business + leisure) right, it’s this one.

This Kimpton hotel offered more than 10,000 sq. ft. of meeting space, including a ballroom and an indoor/outdoor event terrace. So, they had the ideal setting for any event that anyone wants — and then some. While the bulk of their meeting space was on the second floor, it had access both via an elevator and a grand staircase rising from the lobby. What’s more, they range in size from a 12-seater boardroom to a 3,000+-sq. ft ballroom. Did we mention that the ballroom even has an adjacent 2,000-sq-ft terrace? Yes!

The Inverness Denver, a Hilton Golf & Spa Resort

if you’re looking for an upscale destination for your next company conference, few places are as impressive as The Inverness Denver, a Hilton Golf & Spa Resort. It not only lies away from the city and that too featuring a PGA championship golf course, but it’s still just 20 minutes from Downtown Denver. What’s more, the massive hotel has a total meeting space of a whopping 49,735 sq. ft., despite being more popular for weddings. This is spread across an impressive collection of 38 indoor conference and meeting rooms, complete with A/V technology, as well as a bevy of outdoor spaces. The best bit? There are even 12 smaller breakout spaces for small and large meetings.

If that wasn’t enough, the resort even had more than 300 stylish rooms and suites, allowing us to accommodate all of us easily. Furthermore, the entire team along with four bars, restaurants, and several custom and seasonal menus ensure that your conference is crowd-pleasing, innovative, and impressive. Did you know that some of the best deals are hammered over a round of golf? The 18-hole PGA golf course here is playable, beautiful, and challenging.

The Curtis

As creatives, we’re always on the lookout for offbeat and unique business hotels that would fit our needs rather than the usual cookie-cutter offerings. Behold The Curtis, a funky property in the Hilton Doubletree line. In fact, CN Traveler hailed it as one of the country’s best business hotels, and it was easy to see why. One of the chief reasons is their supposed philosophy that all travel, even business travel, should never be boring.

We were blown away by this “pop-culture themed” Downtown Hotel which was also just a stone’s throw from the top things to do in Denver. Despite its offbeat-ness, it did feature all necessary business amenities, including 28,000 sq. ft of versatile and vibrant event space, which included everything from high-tech meeting rooms to even outdoor spaces for alfresco get-togethers. These included 15 conference rooms with capacities of 280 people (400 with theater-style seating), all of which had access to a dedicated #StayHappy team and a Sales Squad. If that wasn’t enough, there was also complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi, a business center, versatile decor, catering options, and even same-day dry-cleaning and laundry. Did we mention that all spaces had non-boring names of childhood games like “Patty Cake” and “Duck Duck Goose”” Yep!

The Brown Palace Hotel and Spa

One of the best hotels in Denver is also one of its best business stays, the elegant and historical The Brown Palace Hotel and Spa. This iconic 1892-built Downtown Denver hotel offered the most luxurious setting for our conference. We were able to take advantage of the nearly 20,000 sq. ft of meeting space encompassing 18 discrete spaces. Besides being specially designed for an elevated experience, they all had A/V and web casting facilities, video conferencing abilities, internet access hubs, and high-speed Wi-Fi. This was besides a full-service business center, a conference service manager for every function, and excellent catering services. In fact, they have very detailed perks packages for when rooms are booked in bulk as well.

The rest of the hotel was no less impressive, with digs featuring mod-cons and timeless décor, three fine dining restaurants that would certainly go a long way in impressing clients, a spa, afternoon tea in the atrium, and proximity to many of the city’s top attractions.

The Oxford Hotel

We were intrigued by The Oxford Hotel which also features on Conde Nast’s list of the best business hotels, and we were most impressed. The historic hotel offered a more distinguished business travel experience, given its architectural charm and the inimitable staff that made us feel like a million bucks.

The beautifully restored LoDo hotel boasted more than 8,000 sq ft of meeting space across 7 spaces ranging from boardrooms to ballrooms. What’s more, these versatile meeting spaces could host anywhere between 10 and 250 guests in a variety of set ups, along with A/V equipment, free high-speed Wi-Fi, and more. Of course, there’s also a team of experienced event planners that guided us through the process, helping us with everything from vendor recommendations to curating catering menus.

If you’re staying here, you can take advantages of not just the comfy digs but also services like newspapers, in-room coffee and breakfast, discounts at the onsite spa, and the courtesy Cadillac Escalade car service.

Sitting right next to the Colorado Convention Center, the Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center was the perfect place for our company’s annual business event and meetings. Since we were staying here, the contemporary rooms with stunning Rocky Mountain views proved to be excellent, especially since they also came with workstations and free Wi-Fi.

Kimpton Hotel Monaco Denver

Best overall. There are many reasons why Kimpton Hotel Monaco Denver is on this list. It might be an unconventional choice for a business hotel, but if you’re not a traditional businessperson, then this is the place for you. Are you a writer, artist, or a creative honcho who is looking for the perfect digs to work while also conducting some work meetings? This Kimpton outpost is perfect for you. We had the choice of many pet-friendly rooms and suites, should your four-legged companion be traveling with you. What’s more, all rooms boasted yoga mats, plush beds, and our favorite, in-room Wi-Fi and sleek workspaces. So, we could work in the comfort of our rooms and not have to plonk on the beds for work. That’s why it’s also one of the best boutique hotels in Denver, Colorado.

The vibrant, boutique experience continues in the form of excellent amenities. For instance, the complimentary wine hour was very welcome after a long day of work. Moreover, the onsite Italian restaurant, Panzano, provided an exquisite dining experience. The highlight was that it actually did have traditional business facilities too, which featured 4,000 sq ft of flexible meeting space across 12 venues. This included multiple rooms, boardrooms, and even a wine cellar. What more could we ask for?
