My daughter and I had the pleasure to stay one night at the Ritz-Carlton, Denver as a stepping stone to Beaver Creek, Colorado. We flew all day from the Virgin Islands and we were in need of some "comfort" time at the Ritz-Carlton. Everyone seemed to read our minds and went over the top to get us relaxed and begin our rejuvenation. Our suite was gorgeous, the club lounge was elegant, yet relaxed.... and everyone made us feel at home. Thank you Ritz-Carlton! You are always the best.

This is the loveliest and best run Ritz-Carlton I have ever stayed in. I was told it was 100% occupied when my husband and I were there, but we never felt crowded nor waited for a service. The beds were amazingly comfortable, the bathrooms luxurious and spacious, and when you pushed a button for the elevator it arrived within seconds. The spa was beautiful, and the massage I had was the best of many I have experienced all over the US. Elway's has its entrance off the main lobby and serves food that was spectacular in a city already filled with fabulous restaurants. Denver is a wonderful place to visit, and my stay at the Ritz-Carlton transformed a great trip into a truly memorable one.

In the past we've stayed at a number of Ritz-Carltons, always on the club floor, and have found it to be a good value, a great experience, and much easier to manage when vacationing with kids. The club floors all serve either 4 or 5 food presentations throughout the day, starting with an ample continental breakfast (fresh fruit, a great variety of croissants, muffins, and sweet rolls, oatmeal, mueslix, very good fruit juices, and great coffee), continuing with a lighter but decent lunch (a variety of sandwiches and a very good make-your-own salad), dinner hors d'oeuvres (great and interesting variety), and late-evening desserts (usually chocolate-covered strawberries and a selection of pies and cakes and various wine and beers).
However, the Denver club floor was a very big disappointment as far as the food presentations. Breakfast was okay, not a big selection but not bad. For lunch, though, they served a few tiny tea sandwiches, chips, and some tiny glasses with a few sticks of celery, carrots, and endive - no salad, and nothing substantial. Dinner hors d'oeuvres consisted of a few bland tiny appetizers and a little cheese and crackers - nothing resembling others in either quality or presentation that I've seen at other Ritz Carltons. And the dessert "presentation" was an absolute joke - a few chocolate "truffles" - i.e. chocolates - in a tiny serving bowl. That was it! We asked the club floor concierge, and were told that "this was all the pastry chef sent up".
We're left wondering if this major club floor down-sizing applies to all Ritz-Carltons, or is only a local aberration Denverites must be ashamed of.
Besides the club floor issues, the lack of a pool for kids (there's one next door that they can swim in on the weekends only), and the fact that this hotel is in a seedy part of town, the rooms themselves were beautiful and immaculate, filled with every amenity you'd expect to see at a Ritz-Carlton. And the valets and bellmen were outstanding. But, save your money, don't waste it on the worthless club floor upgrades.

I had never stayed at a Ritz Carlton before and chose this for the night of our wedding. What a great experience. They were basically "at our service" for anything that we needed. The hotel staff couldn't have been better, and everything was exactly as we wanted it. We valet parked the car and were able to leave it overnight and the entire day the next day. We would definitely consider staying again. The shower was small, but everything else in the room was fantastic!
