Denver's Hotel Monaco Rolls out Luxury

This boutique, luxury hotel is perfect for a romantic getaway—swank enough so a partner knows pampering is on the agenda, but not so pricy that stress levels start talking. Located inside the former 1917 Railway Exchange building, the hotel is full of color, thanks to unique artwork and a whimsical design.

The guest rooms, which were updated in 2010, are bold but tasteful with modern décor and punches of vibrant color. Tourists bringing a furry companion on the trip are in luck- pets stay complimentary and receive treats and in-room bowls. Before heading out the door to explore Denver’s nightlife or for a fancy dinner, remember to swing by the lobby between 5 and 6 p.m. for complimentary red and white wine and appetizers from Panzano that are well beyond cheese and crackers. There is even an on site masseuse to offer complimentary neck and shoulder massages.

When it comes to unique amenities, Hotel Monaco chalks it up. Accomodating staff are on-call to bring a goldfish by for some additional company. Explore the city via a a complimentary bicycle rental. For fuel along the way, grab a picnic lunch from Panzano and pedal to a nearby park.  Yoga mats are also provided in rooms so travelers can find Zen before calling it a night. Find complimentary yoga on demand if you are looking for a guided routine. Come morning, cozy up with the provided animal-patterned robe while enjoying complimentary tea and coffee in the lobby.

For the ultimate romantic escape, sign up for the “Seductive Package,” which includes a rose pedal-covered bed, a bottle of J. Vineyards sparkling wine and Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory goodies. And to really elevate the romance, head to the onsite Verda Salon and Spa for a massage, body treatment or facial. Relax into comfort with the self renewal facial- which combines pressure point, lymphatic drainage and Ayurvedic massage techniques leave skin refreshed.
