Holiday Inn Express Denver Downtown

The Holiday Inn Express Denver Downtown has a pleasant, recently updated look, but it still sports the generic decor and atmosphere of a typical chain hotel catering to business travelers. Located on the corner of a busy downtown street in the financial district, this is a high-rise property with 21 floors, offering views of the city skyline from guest rooms. The renovated lobby area has a reception area made up of two informal desks where guests are received for check-in, rather than the traditional imposing reception counter. The bright and spacious lobby includes a section of tables and chairs serving as the breakfast area in the mornings, and a place for guests to relax with a hot drink from the free coffee and tea station. Many guests staying here are business travelers, but the hotel also gets many couples visiting Denver on vacation.

Located on the corner of a busy downtown street, the Holiday Inn Express Denver Downtown is in the heart of the city’s financial district. There are many restaurants, bars, cafes, and shopping malls in the neighborhood, and the closest Light Rail station is 18th and California, a six-minute walk away, where the D, F, and H lines intersect.

Guest rooms at the Holiday Inn Express Denver Downtown are spacious, with large windows letting in plenty of natural light and offering scenic views of the downtown area. The neutral color palette includes gray, beige, and cream hues that are a good backdrop for the bright orange faux leather headboards. Black furniture and black-and-white prints on the walls complete the contemporary decor scheme. Spotless bathrooms (some of which are small) are decked out in beiges and whites and outfitted with inviting white marble walk-in showers. Suites have separate living rooms with a sitting area furnished with faux leather pull-out sofas as well as work desks. All rooms have air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, coffeemakers, and irons and ironing boards, but there are no in-room mini-fridges or minibars. Accessible rooms are also available. Some rooms can experience issues with hot water, which occasionally requires a visit from the maintenance team.

A free breakfast buffet is served in the dining room located in the lobby area, which also has a free coffee and tea station, a microwave oven, and a small retail section selling snacks and drinks. The 24-hour fitness center on the fifth floor features modern equipment including treadmills, stair masters, weights, and elliptical machines. A business center in the lobby has two computers and a printer at guests’ disposal, and services available include copying, faxing, and meeting rooms. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel. Guests can make use of the facilities at the neighboring Brown Palace Hotel and Spa, which include a spa, concierge services, and the Ship's Tavern restaurant, where Holiday Inn Express guests receive a 15 percent discount for lunch and dinner.
