A historian once termed Denver the "turnstile city." Travelers come in, travelers go out. Some come for the skiing, others show up to call the city home. Over the past few years the business crowd has been enticed by the region's bustling economy, culture and recreational attractions. An addition to the convention center is in the works. New hotels preparing to open, or in the planning stages, will add to the 17,000 rooms already available. Many hotels occupy three prime areas: downtown, the Denver Tech Center (DTC) and the area around Denver International Airport (DIA). Comfortable lodging can easily be found in every nook and cranny of the city. Accommodations range from the glorious to the unassuming as do the prices, but most provide a good night's sleep at a fair price. If you prefer the provincial charm of a bed-and-breakfast, Denver has some of the best in the western region. Usually located in elegant Victorian mansions, they provide many of the modern conveniences of a hotel with a dash of history.

Downtown/Auraria

The majority of business travelers heading to the city usually wind up staying in one of downtown's array of notable and contemporary hotels. The convention center is propped in the heart of the district and many of the region's corporate movers and shakers headquarter in the towers populating the skyline. In other areas, especially on the fringes of the metroplex, one might feel isolated without a vehicle, but downtown offers easy access to shopping, dining and the city's popular attractions. Almost every hotel in downtown underwent extensive renovation in 1997, prior to the G7 Summit, so expect the latest in luxurious lodging.

The Brown Palace is the pride of downtown. Built in 1892, this Victorian brown brick building is a classic interpretation of Italian Renaissance design. Every president since Teddy Roosevelt, with the exception of Jimmy Carter, has enjoyed pampering in these posh rooms. Even The Beatles and Elvis Presley slept here. The Adam's Mark, located at the entrance to the 16th Street Mall, is the city's largest hotel, comprising two blocks and 2,500 rooms. Hotel Monaco is the new kid in town but has quickly carved a niche with the businesses class with impeccable service and homey rooms; it has also developed a reputation as the place for romantic weekend getaways. The Holtze Executive Place, in the restored American Bank Building, offers extended stay visits in one- and two-bedroom suites along spirited 17th Avenue (a.k.a "Wall Street of the Rockies"). If you are searching for Denver's past, check out the Hyatt Rengency's gold rush and Wild West motifs, or enjoy a long jog around its rooftop track. The Westin Tabor Center is Denver's stop for all-out extravagance. The towering Marriott City Center offers affordable luxury and easy access to area attractions. For an even cheaper sleep, head over to the Capitol Hill neighborhood or try the downtown Holiday Inn.

Historic Lower Downtown

Tucked among the restaurants, bars and clubs of this nightlife haven are a couple of secluded lodging gems. The landmark Oxford Hotel. Once on the outskirts of a seedy red light district, it has served some of Denver's most interesting and notorious characters. The hotel offers easy access to the Pepsi Center, Coors Field, and is home to the stellar McCormick's Fish House.

Uptown/City Park

Denver's most popular bed-and-breakfasts are scattered about this predominantly residential neighborhood. The fashionable Merritt House, in the historic Swallow Hill district, shares the same architect as the lavish Brown Palace and features rooms with antiquarian furnishings and 19th century charm. A less expensive getaway is the Franklin House, a restored 1896 mansion. Although not as fancy as some of the other inns around town, the owner has taken great care in reviving the home's original Victorian luxury. A visual masterpiece, Castle Marne, resides at the east end of uptown. The place actually looks like a small castle, and features a unique window of circular stained glass ascending a grand staircase, known as the Peacock Window. Another local favorite is the Haus Berlin.

Capitol Hill

The East Mansion district is in the heart of Capitol Hill. Throughout the century many of the stately homes have retained their grandeur through conversion into multiple room apartments and museums. A few have been transformed into lively bed-and-breakfasts and provide visitors a chance to experience Denver's Victorian legacy. The Capitol Hill Mansion, erected when the district bore the kindly term "snob knob," is an aristocratic ruby sandstone structure complete with turrets and balconies, and is on the National Historic Register. Other area delights include the cozy Adagio Bed and Breakfast and the inexpensive Holiday Chalet. The area also offers the business class some excellent choices. The Burnsley Hotel towers high above the area and provides business travelers comfortable extended stay facilities and views of the Rocky Mountains.

Cherry Creek

This neighborhood is known as Denver's upscale section. Despite its reputation it is still easy to find inexpensive lodging at the Best Western Landmark. But if it is luxury you want the Loews Giorgio, a stunning black glass tower just south of Cherry Creek Mall, is a magnificent feat of Italian design and ultimate comfort. Intricate murals and frescoes embellish the Tuscan motif and the service often rates as the best in town. The Four Points Cherry Creek resides next to the Cherry Creek Bike Path and offers easy access to most of the city's attractions.

DTC/South Denver

A variety of accommodations, specifically designed for business travelers, reside in and around the DTC area. The Inverness Resort offers an elegant escape from the city and boasts one of the finest golf courses in town. Choose from the Marriott, Hyatt, Embassy Suites, or any number of the area's extended stay or all-suite facilities.

Golden/Foothills

The western edge of the city is a great destination for vacationers to experience Colorado's old-fashioned allure in a picturesque mountain setting. Whether you are staying in a lodge, bed-and-breakfast, or roadside motel, you cannot go wrong with the location. Wherever you stay, the best in biking, hiking, skiing, rafting, fishing and all other manner of mountain fun are only moments away. One of the more popular area lodges is the Table Mountain Inn. Nestled at the south end of Golden's historic downtown, this is a wonderful weekend hideaway and is just minutes from Apex Park, Dinosaur Ridge, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, and Heritage Square.

Denver's most famous and recognizable hotel has been around since 1892. Its superbly designed exterior facade is a landmark of beauty, but fails to prepare the imagination for its stately interior of Victorian charm and old colonial flair. Its downtown location and luxurious accommodations have made it a favorite of celebrities and politicians since the late 1800s. Almost all of the U.S. presidents since Teddy Roosevelt have stayed at least one night in the Brown Palace, as have Elvis Presley and the Emperor of Japan.

The Capitol Hill Mansion, constructed in 1891 and listed on the National Historic Register, went through a recent restoration to become one of Denver's finest bed-and-breakfast inns.

This park is a throwback to the days when theme parks were more than corporate carnivals seeking to build the biggest roller coaster. It is set in the guise of an old Victorian town and provides old-fashioned fun for the whole family. Rides abound, including the merry-go-round and alpine slide. Numerous shops carry everything from candy to souvenirs. The acclaimed Music Hall offers a variety of entertainment ranging from vaudeville to mystery plays. There is even a wedding chapel. General admission is free, but the rides and the Music Hall have separate fees. Outdoor rides are only open during the summer.

The Holiday Chalet is an inexpensive, quaint bed and breakfast offering Victorian-style rooms with flowery blankets, ornate furniture, and lacy curtains. The present owner's grandfather purchased the 19th century house from a prominent Denver jeweler in 1912. Three generations later, the same family still serves guests continental breakfasts on the sunny patio. The upscale Victorian home, built in 1869, is close to the Denver Zoo, Denver Museum of Nature and Science, and Denver Botanic Gardens. It is about a mile from downtown.

If romance is on the docket, then this is one of downtown's great escapes. The boutique hotel is situated in two of Denver's historic buildings, and is within walking distance to just about everything including the Performing Arts Complex, LoDo and the 16th Street Mall. The luxurious interior screams Mediterranean from the lobby to the posh rooms, many which feature custom furnishings and the all-important feather beds. But although the hotel is perfect for whiling away a weekend of amore, it also takes care of the business class. In addition, you are encouraged to bring along the pet, and if you cannot, then the hotel can provide a goldfish to keep you company.

From the outside, the Loews Denver Hotel is nothing more than a jet black skyscraper towering above Colorado Boulevard. But the inside is a whole other world. You feel as if you have left a world of strip malls and traffic laden streets and wandered into the rustic hill country of northern Italy. Continually voted among Denver's best hotels, it is an ideal destination for the business traveler. The concierge service is excellent, the rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the business facilities make it easy to take the office on the road. But, if romance is on the agenda, then the "Amore" package will definitely get the sparks flying. Located just south of downtown, the hotel is close to many attractions including Cherry Creek Shopping Center.

Built in 1891, the Oxford Hotel, situated next to Union Station in LoDo, has endured more ups and downs than a roller coaster. The hotel, designed by Frank E. Brooke, renowned architect of the Brown Palace, served Denver's early Silver Boom. After a long history of booms and busts, including a lengthy spell on skid row, the hotel has again emerged as the city's premier destination for business travelers.
