The Hampton Inn Denver Tech Center covers the chain basics – an outdoor seasonal pool, free Wi-Fi, and free breakfast. The location is great for business travelers visiting one of the main large corporations located in the Denver Tech Center, but less so for leisure travelers as it's a 20-minute drive to Denver. The 123 rooms have thin walls, but provide flat-screen TVs and coffeemakers in Standard Rooms and kitchenettes in the suites. For those who want a restaurant on-site, it may be worth pricing the nearby Hilton Garden Inn Denver Tech Center which also has an indoor pool and rooms with mini-fridges and microwaves.
Scene
Chain hotel with trendy and quirky public spaces and a clientele of mostly business travelers
Hampton Inn Denver Tech Center has some trendy public spaces. The lobby is tasteful and fun with cozy seating next to a trendy wall fireplace. The space has quirky and fun elements like succulents in glass cases, a focus on circular wall designs, and multiple white hanging lamps. The breakfast room is similarly contemporary. With a location in the Denver Tech Center, the clientele is mostly business travelers, though families and couples stay here for the brand name and affordable prices.
Location
Located in the business area of the Denver Tech Center
Hampton Inn Denver Tech Center isn’t ideal for tourists, as it’s a 20-minute drive away from downtown Denver which houses many attractions in the city. It is, however, perfect for business travelers, as its position in the Denver Tech Center make it close to large corporation headquarters like AECOM, IBM, AT&T, Pepsi, and McDonald’s. The area is also filled with plenty of dining options on surrounding streets and a bus stop just outside the property. A free shuttle takes guests within three miles of the hotel. Other nearby points of interest include the University of Denver and Kennedy Golf Course, both a 10-minute drive away, and Cherry Creek State Park, a five-minute drive. It takes 30 minutes by car to reach the Denver International Airport.
