Our stay at the Denver Ritz Carlton was very pleasant. It was apparent when we arrived that we were going to be lavished with exceptional service from the entire staff of the Ritz. The high light of the experience with the hotel staff was meeting Chris of the Engineering department. An articulate nice professional well groomed man who demonstrated great pride in the Ritz Carlton Denver.

The Health Club was a first class operation with a wonderful layout and modern equipment.

I am not a fan of hotel restaurants, but Elway’s at the Denver Ritz is special.

This is a very nice hotel. The room was large and well appointed with a good bed. The staff is extremely friendly and doing their best to make you feel welcome. Everything is clean and in good repair. I thought it was expensive ($400 a night) for a place that was probably no better than a less expensive hotel. I was especially surprised that internet service was not included in the price of the room, but was $12.99 extra per day. Breakfast was included, and choices were varied and delicious. The location is convenient to most places downtown. I am probably a spoiled traveler, but I cannot give this hotel a perfect rating.

Exactly what I expected from Ritz-Carlton: Staff were readily available, always friendly, and very helpful. The room was spacious and comfortable—and it even had a Nespresso coffee maker with a choice of three types of coffee. The Forza health club—easily accessible from the elevator and included in my room rate—was very well equipped. It even included a swimming pool and a basketball court.

The hotel is downtown, just a couple blocks from the 16th Street Mall. If you are flying out of the Denver airport, allow plenty of time to get there from downtown. Even without traffic problems, it can take roughly a half-hour to get to the airport exit from I-70, another 10-15 minutes to reach the terminal, and another half-hour or so to get through security.

We have had a great experience every time we have stayed at the Ritz in Denver. The staff is friendly and efficient and some of the best sites in downtown Denver are within walking distance. The food at Elway's, the hotel restaurant, never disappoints and we always go back.
