Super-cushy and occupying a handsome, historic building a short walk from the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, Denver's gay-friendly
Hotel Teatro (
1100 14th St., 303-228-1100) has plenty going for it: the 110 rooms, though fairly pricey, have high ceilings and tall windows, free Wi-Fi, elegant bathrooms done in marble and Indonesian sandstone finishes, and stylish mod furnishings (including gorgeous bedding with luxuriant fabrics). There are also two stellar restaurants on-site, Kevin Taylor and Prima - both operated by local chef-celeb, Kevin Taylor.
I've stayed here twice over the years and have been very pleased with the rooms, less so with the service (on one occasion, the staff made a very serious security gaffe, which was compounded by an inadequate response from the management). That being said, I've heard only good things from every other person I've known to have stayed at Teatro, and I feel confident recommending the hotel to others.
