Located across from the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, the Hotel Teatro inspires its guests with creative design and contemporary flair. Costumes and photographs from the Denver Center Theatre Company line the walls of the public and private spaces, and the mood is decidedly artistic. Gold and sage tones are used in the guest rooms and suites to create seductively soothing environments, while 12-foot ceilings lend a dramatic air. Tucked inside the original Denver Tramway Building dating to 1911, this boutique hotel manages to respect its heritage while providing guests with a thoroughly modern experience. If you want someone to draw you an aromatherapy bath with your turndown service, this is the hotel for you. The Teatro prides itself on the extras it offers its guests, and the automatic bath is just one. An in-room laser printer and fax machine is another. How about customizing your mini-bar when you check in? If you don’t want the temptation of chips or Twizzlers, ask for fresh fruit and mineral water instead (and it will be waiting for you the next time you check in, too). Guest rooms include niceties like down comforters, Frette linens, Aveda bath products, and Starbucks coffee. The hotel even has Range Rovers to transport you around the downtown area. Chef Kevin Taylor is something of a local sensation, and his two restaurants here are a feast for the senses. And don’t think you’re the only one who will be pampered here. Not only does the Teatro not charge a pet deposit for Fido, but the hotel will provide a customized doggie dish with his name on it and present him with a bowl of Fiji water to lap.
