We arrived just as the wine was being poured. The complimentary happy hour is one of our favorite things about staying at a Kimpton and the Hotel Born put on an exceptional mini cocktail party. Sipping a glass of red in the open air lobby, we sunk into the buffalo check over-stuffed seats that practically beg you to unwind.
Modern design merges with a cozy welcoming at the Kimpton Hotel Born in the heart of Downtown Denver. If you’re lucky enough to arrive during happy hour, you’ll scoot up to your room with a glass of wine in hand and be delighted with the space you find.
Entering our room, we walked into a sitting area with a couch, coffee table, chair, and desk. It was the ideal place to drop our bags and relax from an afternoon of travel. In the mornings, this space is where we enjoyed delicious yogurt and granola, juice and coffee while we planned our day.
For dog lovers like us, the best part about staying at a Kimpton is that Kirby gets to come along. Dog bowls and a bed were waiting in our room when we arrived, though Kirby is a bit spoiled and prefers sleeping next to us.
The location of the Kimpton Hotel Born is certainly the second best part about the property. Set just steps from Denver’s Union Station, you are literally in the heart of the city.
Aside from being a buzzing train station, Union Station is full of shops, restaurants, and bars, should you decide to leave the comfort of your cozy room. While the dining scene in Denver is experiencing an exciting boom right now, perhaps the best restaurant in the city is right at the hotel.
While it seats 125 people, the space a Tavernetta feels intimate. The Italian cuisine is so good you’ll forget you’re actually in Colorado. If you’re craving a more American style meal, visit Citizen Rail (also at the hotel) where you can snack on charcuterie while your burger sizzles on the grill.
Hotel Born offers guests the whole experience. You need not leave the property to get a feel for Denver, but if you want to, you’ll find yourself in the heart of it all. The people are so nice, the food is delicious, and the space welcomes you as if you’re coming home.
Compass + Twine was a welcomed guest of Hotel Born and thanks them for a wonderful weekend. As always, all opinions are our own.
