“Denver's Union Station has welcomed an elegant hotel to its upper storeys. Making the most of its setting, the hotel revels in the station's classic Beaux Arts style, and the rooms and suites carry off a wonderfully executed Old World Glamour feel. There are plenty of excellent eateries on site too.”

Hotel review

Great hotels offer a magical sense of escapism. Checking in at The Crawford feels like travelling back to yesteryear, thanks to its unusual positioning inside grandiose Denver Union train station. Beaux Arts-style room interiors continue to deliver old fashioned whimsy, but it’s a practical choice, too. Steps from your room you can start seamless journeys to the airport or a powder day at popular ski resort Winter Park. The 112 rooms are surrounded by restaurants, bars and boutiques (don’t miss Milk Box Ice Creamery) both within the station, and nearby. You’ll find dozens of historic attractions in this part of town — stroll to Civic Center Park, home to the Colorado State Capitol Building, and the Daniels & Fisher clock tower, once the highest building west of the Mississippi River. Cap off your evening at the hotel’s Cooper Lounge — they serve an excellent Ahi tuna tartare.

Denver's Crawford Hotel at Union Station

"When standing in the middle of the main terminal, or the "Great Hall" as it is called, you can look up and see the rooms on either side."

The Crawford Hotel

"Each of the richly decorated rooms follows a certain theme; some pay homage to the heyday of luxury train travel, others feature exposed timber and brick."
