Denver Union Station
One of the most historic railway stations in the US, Denver Union Station has been lovingly restored and reopened in 2014. This railway station is more than just a place to lay your head down at night. It has beautiful architecture and a storied past that make it something everyone should experience when visiting Denver. Here are 10 reasons why you should consider booking one of our hotels near Denver Union Station today.
1) The architecture
As one of several buildings included on the National Register for Historic Places, visitors can expect to find nothing but hard work and love gone into the restoration of this majestic building’s interior and exterior features. From painstakingly restored tiles to detailed masonry work, this hotel will live in your memory long after you’ve checked out.
2) Free Internet
You’re on vacation, so enjoy yourself and stay connected at the same time with free wi-fi internet access available throughout the hotel. We know you want to upload that picture of you sipping a craft brew in front of one of Denver’s many breweries, so be sure to bring your laptop.
3) Shopping Malls right next door
Union Station has convenient shopping next door. It can get tiring walking around all day in your hiking boots, or those new heels you just bought for this trip don’t fit quite right yet. Next door is a mall with upscale shops as well as places like H&M if you need some cheap souvenirs to take home to your family and friends.
4) Gluten-free dining
A growing trend is to offer gluten-free options on the menu. Denver Union Station has taken note of this trend and offers gluten-free options throughout the hotel, so everyone can enjoy their stay! Have a big dinner reservation at one of Denver’s best steakhouses? No problem, since Denver Union Station addresses food allergies and dietary restrictions with separate cooking equipment for those who have certain allergies or who follow certain diets.
5) The Exciting “Market Hall.”
This is not your ordinary grab & go convenience store. With a name like Market Hall, we expected something great, and it did not disappoint! Guests will find delightful gourmet foods that are hard to find outside of Denver, like fresh-roasted nuts and locally made sausages. You can also try a new craft beer just by opening the refrigerator.
6) Gold LEED certification
As one of the greenest buildings in Denver, this hotel is built with recycled materials and incorporates energy-efficient lighting throughout. The roof features solar panels to reduce the carbon footprint even further. We encourage you to reuse your towels during your stay so we can continue to enjoy our beautiful building.
7) Roof-top pool with panoramic views
Relaxation has never looked better than at this rooftop pool overlooking downtown Denver and the Rocky Mountains beyond. Enjoy Colorado’s famous 300 days of sunshine while soaking up some vitamin D on a chaise lounge with a cool margarita in hand.
8) The famous train hall
This isn’t your average hotel lobby, so take some time to explore before checking in! Enjoy the soaring arches and intricate masonry inside this historic landmark while drinking in the nostalgia of years gone by. It is easy to see why films like “The Shining” were filmed here; it’s one of those places that just has a presence about it.
9) Free breakfast buffet every morning
You are on vacation, but that doesn’t mean you should let yourself go completely. If you have been hitting the gym hard during your stay, come down for our free hot breakfast buffet and refuel before starting your day. There is something for everyone at this breakfast buffet, so pick a few things that look good and dig in!
10) One of the best downtown location
This hotel is situated in the heart of Denver’s vibrant downtown district. Enjoy views of Coors Field from your room or walk to some of Denver’s more popular attractions like LoDo (Lower Downtown), home to many microbreweries and trendy restaurants. And don’t worry about parking; Union Station has you covered with free valet parking during your stay. Just make sure you tip well – these guys work hard.
