Best Hotels near University of Denver

Sitting at the heart of the upscale Cherry Creek neighborhood just southeast of downtown Denver, the JW Marriott is an ideal home base for sightseers. Within a few miles of the hotel are several popular sights like the Denver Botanic Gardens, the Molly Brown House Museum and the Denver Art Museum. Recent guests praised this hotel for its style; guest rooms feature muted colors of pink and gray, marble accents and sleek furnishings, as well as marble baths and flat-screen TVs. Meanwhile, common areas exude a welcoming atmosphere from its hardwood floors and big, comfy furniture. Although they praise the JW Marriott's on-site facilities, which include a fitness center and restaurant, previous visitors say that it was the hotel staff that made them want to return to this property. A few travelers bemoaned the pricey on-site valet-only parking fee, however. Lodging here doesn't come cheap, but members of the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program can offset the cost of their stay by trading in points for perks.

Past guests highlight the convenient location, attentive customer service and standout amenities as top reasons to book a room at The Jacquard, Autograph Collection hotel. Sitting in Denver's Cherry Creek neighborhood, this Marriott outpost is located within walking distance of the Cherry Creek Shopping Center, as well as a Whole Foods grocery store and several top restaurants, including Elway's steakhouse. Aside from the coveted location, reviewers also praised the hotel's amenities, most notably the rooftop restaurant, bar and pool, which offers views of the Rocky Mountains and downtown Denver. The hotel features another casual restaurant downstairs, as well as a 24-hour fitness center with Peloton bikes. The hotel also offers "service curators," who can assist with everything from personal shopping to local activity recommendations. If you don't get the chance to enjoy the rooftop, you'll still get an eyeful of the skyline from the floor-to-ceiling windows in your guest room. Other in-room amenities include coffee makers, minifridges, complimentary bottled water, free Wi-Fi access and 65-inch flat-screen TVs. Past lodgers were generally pleased with their digs, though some bemoaned the small size (rooms start at 300 square feet). If you're a Marriott Bonvoy member, consider using points to upgrade to a suite.
