We stayed at The Curtis for 5 nights in October while visiting family in Denver. We had booked one of their larger rooms through Expedia (bigger better deal) and were pleased to be given a room on the 16th floor with views of both the mountains and the city. Our room was spacious, well decorated and the bed was huge and really comfy. The bathroom had a shower but no bath (no problem for us at all) and the toiletries were lovely, much better than expected.

We enjoyed the 'themes' of the various floors although this wasn't really taken any further than a quirky announcement in the lift and a few pieces of artwork on the corridor walls, but it definitely made The Curtis stand out from other hotels of this class. We had no problem at all with noise, no more so than you would expect at a hotel although we could imagine that rooms close to the lifts would have the potential to be noisy with all the coming and going and the announcements every time a lift arrived. We were pleased to find that Wifi access, local phone calls and a daily paper were included in the room rate - a nice surprise compared to some more exclusive hotels. We had a problem with the air con in our room but having reported it at reception on our way out for the day it had been fixed by the time we returned.

We ate breakfast in The Corner Office, drank at the bar on a couple of occasions and also had dinner. The menu was pretty extensive, with quite a few veggie choices (which I've found is rare in the US) but also enough to keep carnivores like my boyfriend very happy. Prices were reasonable (well everything is in the US with the exchange rate at the moment!) and portions were huge. The cocktail menu at the bar was excellent and each cocktail was served in it's own individual shaker so you could finish pouring it out youself, a nice touch.

The only thing that let The Curtis down was the lack of a safe in the room. There were safety deposit boxes at the front desk but we like to keep our cameras, iPaq, jewellery and other valuables in the safe but easily accessible and leaving them at the front desk wasn't very convenient, so we didn't and ended carrying everything around with us instead.

Overall we had a great stay and would certainly stay again when we're next in Denver.

We loved the Curtis! It was one of the recommended (and discounted) hotels for our conference, and it looked like fun plus was dog-friendly and we were traveling with our border collie, so we chose it. Our room was at the far end of a hall and we never had any noise problems as others have reported. The staff couldn't have been nicer, my dog was in love with the bellman by the time we keft. The quirky themes were fun without being overbearing. The restaurant was fine and a little unusual. The location was terrific, right near the light rail, convention center, 16th St. pedestrian mall, and Cherry Creek greenway. The king sized bed was super comfortable. Pricy hotels tend to charge for every little thing but the Curtis didn't- internet access was free and there were no extra charges on our bill at the end of our stay. We're not big fans of free daily papers, seems like a waste- but at least this was the local paper not USA Today! I hope to stay at the Curtis again sometime!

Overall the restaurant is the downfall of the entire hotel. The hotel, hotel staff, rooms etc are great. However, the restaurant leaves much to be desired.

The female restaurant manager was less than helpful when resolving our seating issues. We had a party of 8 and I can understand having to wait for a large party but the restaurant was completely empty and the manager had the audacity to tell me she couldnt seat us...not even at separate tables and THE RESTAURANT WAS EMPTY (there were 2 tables seated and a couple at the bar). She was slightly rude and extremely unaccommodating. Later when her behavior was brought to her attention she apologized but it was too late.

The restaurant also got one of my family's orders wrong on a separate occasion, we had to wait over an hour for our food and it was wrong...you can imagine my disappointment. Then the manager assured me the order would be corrected, which it was and he also assured me that the bill would be taken care of, which it was not. The charges for the lackluster and incorrect meal showed up at checkout to my disappointment. Finally and thankfully the hotel manager took care of that charge.

  • Liked — The "fun" atomosphere and retro themes.
  • Disliked — The hotel restaurant.

I took my family while on a recent business trip, and our one week stay was great! The location is excellent, the restaurant very good and the staff very accommodating. The hotel is a short two blocks from the convention center and a block and a half to the middle of the 16th street mall. The rooms are nicely decorated, clean and comfortable, and the themed floors add a fun touch! We couldn't be happier, and we definitely would visit the hotel again.

I read other TripAdvisor reviews before booking at this hotel, and was aware of some of the noise issues, but they were much worse than described. Poorly hung doors and weak insulation caused us to have the worst night sleep. We could hear the elevator opening and closing (and squeaking doors), as well as everyone getting on and off. And the newspapers being delivered, and late-night room service...And the absolute worst was hearing the details of the couple in the room next to us getting-busy. Yes, every single detail including heavy panting, sounded like it was right in my ear. Management was friendly, tried to be helpful, and ultimately refunded the cost of our room and some drinks we had in the bar, But it was a lousy night and I was exhausted the next day. I only recommend this hotel if you are a heavy substance abuser or a voyeur.

On a lighter note, the bar at the hotel, "The Corner Office" is fun and has great drinks and appetizers. Breakfast was good too.

  • Liked — trendy decor
  • Disliked — Noise. Forgot to mention we could also hear whining dogs - yes, dogs can stay in your room.
