Kimpton Hotel Born

If you want to be in the middle of the action in Denver, the Kimpton Hotel Born might be the hotel for you. In fact, the property is connected to Union Station, the city's hub for dining and shopping in the newly revitalized LoDo neighborhood. Recent guests loved the character of the accommodations, which have a "contemporary Alpine aesthetic" with wooden headboards, exposed concrete ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows and leather furniture. Standard amenities include flat-screen TVs, work desks and bathrooms with separate showers and free-standing tubs. Guests also loved the standard Kimpton amenities such as the fitness center, free bicycle rentals and daily wine receptions. For more substantial fare, travelers have their pick of two on-site restaurants. You’ll find aged meats cooked over a wood fire at Citizen Rail, while Tavernetta gains praise from visitors and locals alike for its fresh pasta and all-Italian wine list. But because of its premier locale, expect to pay premier prices for a night's stay here. Keep in mind, though, that because of Kimpton’s ties to IHG, IHG Rewards Club members can accrue or redeem points by choosing to stay here.
