Came in on the bus and walked right next door to catch the train to the airport. It was so nice to avoid having to use ride share to get to my airport area hotel. Fare was 10.50 and ticket at kiosk. The train was clean and quick.

We booked a tour with Rocky Mountaineer and our hotel ended up being in Union Station. Our guide from the train station to the hotel told us this place was in disrepair and was going to be torn down until some locals fought to save it. It's just a cool place, with restaurants, shops, the hotel, and oh yes, an actual train station. We read that this place is often referred to as Denver's living room, a great place to people watch. Our hotel stay included free coffee, free ice cream, and free drinks, so we patronized several of the establishments while taking advantage of our offers. We also walked around the area during the day and felt safe.

Union station is beautiful it's one of the best Union stations I've been in. I would have given it five stars but a boy that looked like he was 15 years old that was a security guard told me to get my bag off of the chair and when I asked him why he threatened to kick me out. He was like someone that would probably make a good nazi.

Great link to airport with trains running every 15 minutes for $10.50 and a 30-40 minute ride on the A line.. Numerous food locations in station. Ranges from coffee/pastries to full breakfast. The ever popular terminal bar is also fun and active. Very clean with active security. Minutes from the Orford hotel Very highly recommended Slainte

A beautiful building with lots of people watching opportunities. Clean, centrally located, and busy. You cannot sit in the beautifully furnished central area unless you are a patron of the hotel or other shops. I wish there was more dining!

Classic railroad station that still services Amtrak and a train to and from Denver airport. Lots of restaurants, bars, and other shops, in a well preserved, secure environment. Decorated for Christmas and that is very well done both inside and outside. Fairly easy access from anywhere in the downtown Denver area including by a free 16th St. bus that runs between Civic Center and Union Station, and is one block away from Union Station that takes about a minute and a half to get there by walking. I would suggest going both during the day and evening, but if you're only going to go once, I would go after dark to take in the Christmas lights and a laser light show on the front of the building.

Union Station is a fantastic spot! The area feels very safe, and there are so many great restaurants to choose from. It's lively all day long, making it a perfect place to hang out and enjoy the atmosphere. Highly recommend a visit!

Felt like a trip back to art deco times, the main hall is lined with shops, eateries (e.g. Belgian waffles) and bars. Seeing people check in and out of the Crawford hotel reminded me of mystery novels and the joys of long distance train travel. Stopped by during happy hour for a cocktail on upper level.

The current station (from 1914) was built on the same spot where the previous one burned down in 1894. Inside the building is Crawford Hotel and many restaurants. They still do some renovation inside when we came to Denver but we still saw how beautiful the building is. The platform are very modern but I think it's not the best solution for only partial cover as when we waited for the train it was extremely hot and there was not enough shady places where to hide and sit. It would also help some indication/signage about coming and leaving trains and destinations. After spending a few days in Denver we travelled to Glenwood Springs but nowhere was an information which platform is the train departing from. We needed to ask several people. Inside was very busy, nearly all tables were occupied. It would help if there will be some information about taxi services as that seems to be problem there. You need to know the phone number because there is no permanent waiting bays for taxi outside the building - after about hour waiting in front of the building my husband went to the hotel reception and the receptionist kindly helped us. I gave only 4 starts to this review just because of missing information for tourists like us.
