In the last year, Ive been staying a lot at the Denver Renaissance for work trips. My office is at Stapleton, so the location is very convenient. I've stayed at the nearby DoubleTree and the Timbers and I reckon the Renaissance is the best bet in the general Stapleton/Quebec St area. Having been a recurring guest both before and after the recent renovations, I must say they've done good work.

The rooms are large, but you definitely want to ask for a high floor to get up and away from the atrium noise. Still those doors are very solid and take care of most of the noise anyway. And you want to request a room facing the city (with the Rockies as a nice background), otherwise you get a view of a Wal Mart and a Home Depot. No matter where you are you will experience very occasional train noise. Tracks are to the north (the side of the hotel you enter) but getting a room on the south end doesn't completely solve the problem. There must be a busy crossing because the train operators really lay on the horn at times.

Internet is free in the rooms, which is nice (Doubletree charges $10). Parking is free and easy in the attached garage. They will bring a fridge to your room if you're going to stay a while and there are free laundry machines near the gym/pool, though it can be tough to find them available. The airport shuttle they have is efficient and pleasant. There is also a Hertz branch on site. They leave two packets of (non cecaf) coffee for the machine in the room, a touch I appreciate.

For trips where my work has been in downtown Denver, I've stayed there (Curtis, Residence Inn), not out at the Renny. I wouldn't want to commute the I70 to the I25 in rush hour. Apart from that, I wouldn't stay anywhere else.

Despite the fact that the hotel is massive and is pretty poorly located for most people's needs it sometimes gets completely booked up. My last stay I had to leave my last night and move down to the DoubleTree. So don't leave your booking to the last minute on this one.

Great Room But Not Set Up for the Late Night Airport Arrival Guest

I booked this hotel at the very last minute when an emergency business meeting was called in Denver. I landed at Denver International Airport (the hotel is near the airport) and arrived at 11pm.

Unfortunately, despite the airport location, the hotel is NOT set up for the airport-arriving business guest. Room service was dead, the restaurant was closed. I went to the bar and ordered a glass of milk and fajitas (limited menu). I received four strips of chicken drowned in something that looked like fake Tabasco Sauce. If it had been, it would have been marginally edible, though not fajitas. Instead it was indescribably bad. I returned dejected to my room. Our meeting was cancelled and I had to fly out first thing in the morning.

Well, there is no room service at the crack of dawn or any restaurant.

My room was beautiful (but I was awake in it for 15 minutes).

Bottom line: This would be a A plus business hotel if it catered to the segment of weary travelers who land at Denver Intl Airport late or have to leave for DIA early in the morning. This hotel serves neither group.

Manager: Please add 24 hour room service.

  • Liked — Very nice bed, quiet, restful
  • Disliked — The utter absence of late night or early morning food - atrocious for an airport hotel

Stayed at the Renaissance at the end of a very long working holiday in the States. It was a great ending for our only real time to play tourists.
Really amazing hotel and entrance, absolutley huge.
Rooms were really large and the one we stayed in had an amazing view of the mountains. King size beds and large tv, great modern bathroom as well.
Hotel is a walk across the bridge to a range of different stores (walmart, small specialty stores) which kept us busy however it was quite far out if we wanted to go to any nice resteraunts. Also took a trip out to the Denver Zoo and the staff were happy to call us a cab.
As written in other reviews the gym was quite large and the indoor pool aswell.
Enjoyed a nice (expensive) meal at the resteraunt and a few cocktails at the sports bar.
Overall for the rate we got (I think 88USD a night) it was above our expectations. For a short stay in Denver this hotel would be ideal.

We stayed on Sept 6th with the AAA rate of $93 + tax.

Although it took a while, the free shuttle from the airport was great. It was a nice mini-bus and the driver was very friendly. Check in was quick and easy.

We were on the 11th floor, one of the club level rooms. The room was a nice size and had a sleeper sofa and a nice King bed. Bathroom room was an okay size. Had a nice flat screen TV and a balcony that looked over to the restaurants etc that were across the highway.

I think they had just barely finished the renovations as the pictures were stacked in the corner instead of hung on the wall. The ice machine and pop machine were not even on and the lights dimmed in the vending room and the sitting area by the elevators.

They did have a little gift shop with the usual overpriced food and beverages which was nice. They also have a Starbucks with a bar attached as well. Seemed to be very popular amongst the business men and women that were sitting around it. Probably about 20 sitting in the various sitting areas in the lobby.

The restaurant is very overpriced. We decided to wander across the freeway to Famous Daves. It is a little bit of a hike. I wouldnt wander that way after dark or by myself.

We did not use the pool or exercise room although they did look nice. The business center seemed to be nice as well, although we didnt use it either.

We did order roomservice for breakfast. Just some pastries and juice. Most of the breakfast options were a bit overpriced. I was looking forward to a smoothie but the blender was broken.

Overall I was actually quite surprised with how much I enjoyed this hotel. Although it was a ways from the airport the free shuttle was a huge plus. The beds were great and the front desk very helpful.

We just stayed one night between our flight and our departure on Amtrak. We paid $30 for our taxi ride to Union Station but that included a nice tip.

Seems out of the way from a lot of stuff but if you are looking for a quick night stay in Denver, this was worth it.

A beautiful hotel.....Stayed here for 6 nights.....traveling with a disabled person the accessible double room was easy to get around in. Rooms were made up quickly in AM...Staff needs a lesson on friendliness with the exception of the doorman. The doorman (Mohammad) went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome. The food was good but the service from the restaurant was below average. We sat waiting for service for 15 minutes, finally a waitress came and filled our water glasses and left. Never took a drink order or gave us menus. We asked two other servers for menus and never received. Finally we got up to leave and then they got all excited and ready to serve us. They said they were busy...there were only four other tables being served. WE WERE COMPLETEY IGNORED BY THE STAFF AND THE RESTAURANT MANAGER. I mean how hard is it to give us a menu! The day we were leaving we order room service. When delivered 2 orders of bacon, a chocolate mik, and the syrup were all missing from our order in addition to the wrong omelet brought to us. We waited for another 20 minutes for them to correct everything, while the original order got cold waiting for syrup. The best service for eating was in the lounge. If it wasn't for the wheelchair we would have walked across the street to eat, but that was not an option for us.
A top notch fitness room....it was fantastic...free internet....pool area was okay..hot tubs not so much.
