"First impressions?This swanky outpost of the Ritz-Carlton brand blends contemporary, understated luxury with western touches. Dark woods, elaborate flower centerpieces, and a gorgeous glass chandelier greet you in the lobby, and the hotel’s prime spot in the heart of downtown makes it convenient for in-the-know travelers and business types alike. Who tends to stay here?Business travelers and high-society tourists. How is the staff? Well-trained and attentive staff live up to the hotel’s reputation, making check-in seamless. And, the rooms?With some of the city’s largest hotel rooms—think 500 square feet and up—each room in the Ritz-Carlton, Denver feels like a mini-suite. Recently updated rooms are decked out in a rich navy and cream color palette, creating a soothing oasis far removed from the bustling city below. Featherbeds, down comforters, Frette terry robes, and oversized tubs come standard, while the rainforest shower heads make a regular shower feel like a spa treatment. Anything else of note?It might not seem like much, but the bathroom mirrors are steam-free and a convenient reading light above the bed allows you to drift to sleep with ease. How about dining?The hotel's flagship restaurant, Elway's Downtown, delivers perfectly cooked steaks at dinner, well-executed breakfasts, the ultimate power lunch, and the occasional sighting of NFL hall-of-famers or restaurant owner, John Elway. The Ritz-Carlton also aces in-room dining, but maybe that's because it doesn't get much better than eating dessert in a fluffy robe. Any other special features?A full-service spa has a steam room, whirlpool, and serene lounge areas, and if you need event space, look no further. The Ritz-Carlton has two princess-perfect ballrooms, a boardroom, and an outdoor terrace, all available for meetings and special events. Bottom line.Refined luxury, loads of amenities, and attentive service make the Ritz-Carlton a solid choice, every time." - Megan Barber

"Located near the 16th Street Pedestrian Mall, Coors Field, and the restaurants and shops of the LoDo district, the Ritz-Carlton delivers its customary luxury with a bevy of local touches. Starting at 550 square feet, the largestguestrooms in town are outfitted with Frette linens, Asprey toiletries, and all-marble baths with rainforest showers and soaking tubs. Club-level rooms up the ante with access to the concierge lounge’s complimentary bites and drinks, plus tastings of neighorhood brews and attended omelet stations on weekends. Elway’s Downtown steakhouse—named for the NFL Hall of Famer and Broncos general manager—serves regional meats like lamb chops with green-chile fondue and Wagyu rib-eye as well as an extensive selection of wines, cocktails made with Colorado craft spirits (even the bitters are made in Boulder), and draught beers brewed within walking distance of the hotel. Even the 6,000-square-foot spa gets in on the Denver love: an exfoliating body scrub incorporates hops and malt sourced from a brewery nearby."

We stayed at the Ritz Carlton in downtown Denver on December 24, 2024. It was our 30 year Anniversary and Christmas Eve.. this was our first time staying at a Ritz Carlton. I wanted to stay here because my son was part of their grand opening many years ago. He’s an international model. When I arrived at the Ritz Carlton The front desk woman seemed very confused. When I told her I had a reservation she said a reservation for the hotel. She was rude and seemed to be discriminating against us because we are an interracial couple. She ended up giving us the wrong room we paid for an upgrade she downgraded us. She didn’t seem to really care that she gave us the wrong room. Didn’t even give us an apology. We moved to the correct room and several things in the room did not work. At this point, we were becoming frustrated. We asked for a manager. Jose started to turn things around for us. He went out of his way to Accommodate us, and even though he was trying to make things right, things were still going wrong because staff was not doing their part. We had to move into another room just when we thought everything was OK we were watching a Christmas movie in the bed then the TV stopped working. We had to call someone up to check on it. They could not fix it so it just seemed like everything that could go wrong was going wrong, which made our stay miserable. A lot of the staff was rude and uncaring, and was not in the Christmas Spirit it was the worst anniversary and Christmas Eve. I have ever had. The best part of our stay was José, the manager. It was not a Merry Ritz Mas do to the scrooges that we’re working there. Ritz Carlton step it up!!!!

My wife and I stayed at the Denver Ritz Carlton for three nights in January for my wife’s birthday. The guest services staff (particularly Julie and Tamila) were very helpful with restaurant suggestions and with customer service in the Club Level lounge and recognition of my wife’s birthday. It was a special experience. Great central location in downtown Denver. We had a wonderful stay and will definitely come back again!

Fantastic experience for my husband’s birthday! Everyone from valet to the front desk to the room service employees were 10/10 - incredibly friendly and polite. Rooms were clean and quiet. Great location. Would return for sure!

My friends and I stayed at Ritz for the night after attending the White Rose 1920s gala. We were delighted by their attention as we arrived. Cielo Bueno one of their executives was very attentive to our needs. The room was spacious and had all necessary for a lovely stay. Our requests to the front desk were promptly addressed except for a small miscommunication but they more than made up for it. My friends raved on the coffee maker, shower pressure and tubs size. We loved the turn down service and the lovely tokens left on our pillow. The staff from the valet, porters, waitstaff and front desk were delightful. Our brunch was made exceptional by all we interacted with and took care of us and the food was divine. We met Julie who kindly saw us off at checkout and left us with a lasting impression. We have vowed to make this a new tradition for New Year's eve.

We stayed here on our last night in Colorado. We mainly pay extra to stay at the Ritz Carlton because we enjoy the attention to detail and customer service. We would be distraught if we paid what we paid to stay here and did not have the attention to detail and customer service. When we arrived in our vehicle, we had two charming young gentlemen who were courteous and eager to help. It’s a shame I can’t remember their names, but they were working Friday, September 13, 2024. It’s always nice when they make sure that they pronounce your name correctly and forward it to customer service or concierge. We were greeted by our last name, which was fantastic. We paid a little extra for the club lounge, and our room was not ready, so we were given a temporary key to go up and enjoy the lounge until our room was ready. Once again, we forgot the lady's name in the club lounge, but she was fantastic and very eager to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The breakfast in the lounge the following morning was also delicious, and the lounge concierge was fantastic. We would not hesitate to stay here again. Thank you.

This was my first stay at the Ritz / a 5 star hotel, and it was unfortunately not what I expected. BEST thing was all the staff we encountered (5 Star Staff). Everyone was wonderful and helpful. Front desk, front door, valet, security, and room service staff all Aces! The room was not what I expected at the Ritz. Runs and stains in the carpet, Hotel furniture was beat up, snags and runs in the robes, coffee pods cut open but look as if they were untouched, no AC (temp was set to 65 but never got below 75), the toilet didn't flush and single ply TP at a 5 star hotel. We stayed on a windy couple days and the room we were in sounded like an elementary recorder concert all night both nights (I understand the hotel can't do anything about that but it's still the Ritz). For the amount spent for only 2 nights, the room conditions were not what I'd expect from a 5 star hotel. I do admit this was my very first stay at a 5 star hotel and I am sadly disappointed. Thank you again to the staff. You are what makes the clout real! I don't think I could bring myself to spend that kind of money again for what we got. I wouldn't tell anyone not to stay there but I'm not encouraging it.

My recent stay at The Ritz-Carlton fell short of expectations, especially considering the brand's reputation. While I understand renovations are underway, the condition of my room was unacceptable. The carpets were damaged, the furniture showed significant wear and tear, and the TV was not functioning. These issues detracted from the luxury experience I anticipated from a Ritz-Carlton property. I was particularly disappointed by the lack of response from management. I requested to speak with them regarding these concerns, but no one contacted me. This lack of attention further diminished my perception of the hotel's commitment to guest satisfaction. Despite using reward points for my stay, I believe my loyalty as a guest should be valued. I hope the ongoing renovations will address these issues and restore the hotel to the high standards associated with the Ritz-Carlton name.

I spent the weekend at the Ritz Carlton in Denver, my husband and I were celebrating our anniversary. I noticed when I walked in that I was greeted the same way everybody else was. I was never asked. Do I want a glass of champagne however everyone around me was asked. After checking in, I started to walk over to the lady who was pouring the glasses and she quickly pushed the cart behind the concierge desk. After getting into our room, my husband and I noticed that the temperature would not go up in the room. It stayed at 69°. I asked we moved her new room. I was told that the hotel was sold out, so there were no other rooms available for breakfast. We decided to go to the restaurant in the lobby called Elway’s, My breakfast Was missing the sausage. It was finally brought out after we finished our meal, my husband was missing his omelette and only received his French toast. We also were missing the drinks that we ordered. We came down to breakfast pretty early, so there wasn’t a lot of people in the restaurant at all after checking out and receiving my bill, I noticed my spa credit was never added to my account so I was overcharged, I really felt like because of the color of our skin we were treated very differently because we were the only ones that were treated differently and did not get the same friendliness that I saw others received that came in behind me. Such a Prestige hotel I’ve had better treatment at other Marriott locations in the downtown area.
