Over the past year my wife and I have stayed at several "boutique" hotels in Denver. We liked all of them for one reason or another but the Monaco is a true stand out. At check in the staff was very friendly. They helped me find and make reservations at the type of restaurant I was looking for. They informed me of the free wine and food in the lobby and also free chair message. I saw some reference to being pet friendly. I asked about price thinking I may bring my dog next time and was told pets stay free! Then, since didn't have a pet they gave me one!! A gold fish in a bowl was bought to my room. You gotta love that. The Hotel Monaco will be the only hotel in Denver I will stay at from now on. read more

Do you miss the days of outstanding customer service? Like the over and beyond, you didn't see that coming, holy cow that's awesome service? Me too. That's why I stay here. Included in your price of admission to this lovely, cozy, chic hotel: friendly, helpful staff; bikes; a reception with wine, apps, chair massages and Wii for the kids. You can request a goldfish for your room. Turn down service on our first night included a draw string backpack for our daughters that included popcorn, water, crackers, fruit snacks, cards games and little travel games. Is your mind blown yet? Re-read that part about nightly free chair massages. Did it hurt that we got a complimentary upgrade to an amazing suite? Hell no. If you have the means, I highly recommend upgrading. Simply outstanding. Oh - I forgot my makeup and called the front desk to see where I could snag some. The guy steered me towards Walgreen's (yay! Cheap!) l however I opted to hit up the Veda salon in the hotel. They were able to set me up with what I needed quickly and get me on my way. For what I spent I feel that I got an amazing value and more importantly a very happy experience. We will be returning. read more

Second visit was not nearly as great of an experience as the first. No one knew what the special packages were and we were charged over $150 for brunch that was supposed to be included in our package. Contacted corporate and they told us someone would be in touch about our visit. Never heard back. There are other boutique hotels in Denver. We won't be back. read more

The room smelled of vomit. And there was a wet spot on the rug. We were moved to another one. The smell was unbearable.so bad. The new room was smaller but did not smell. They didn't have a goldfish as promised on the website. they were all out. No yoga matt either.The staff was super rude and rolled their eyes a lot.I got the impression that the manager was on vacation.The Aveda Spa was above average. I liked the decor of the room. There was one used tissue under the bed.Since this was booked thru a travel site there was no way to complain or get a refund and go to another hotel.They made this very clear.There were drug addicts out front of the hotel lined up.Some sitting on dirty pissed-on concrete.First experience in downtown Denver and one young Alpha male guy punched the other young skinny dude in the nose until he bleed all over the pavement .and the bleeding guy was too high to care.He was smiling through broken teeth like a clip from "Fight Club".Between that and the vomit, I had a pretty bad impression of downtown Denver and figured if that was the scene outside the expensive boutique luxury hotel then Downtown Denver must be an armpit that I never wished to return to. read more

One of the best hotel days I've experienced! The moment you walk in, you feel like you're in your new fancy home. Staff was constantly polite and welcoming-despite us being the youngest clients. Free wine bar from 5-7, leopard print robes, beautiful view, and free coffee and tea in the morning. They even let us store our luggage with them after checking out so we wouldn't have to haul them around all day. Great place. Worth every penny! read more

Had a work meeting here and the snack they provided were pretty tasty. Our Holiday Work party will be held here so we will most likely tear it up in a good way. Food will be catered by Panzano's of course so it should be a fun evening. read more

Pretty cool place to stay, Restaurant downstairs was pretty good but not over top. I'd def stay here again. Prices were very reasonable.

Hotel Monaco is a gem to be experienced in Denver! I found the hotel manager, TIm Hood, to be exceptionally knowledgeable and welcoming. He knows his history of the hotel buildings, and you can tell that he absolutely loves his job. It's no wonder that the reviews for Hotel Monaco are raving... this is one incredibly well run hotel with a luxurious style, and it's eco-friendly and pet-friendly to boot! What more could you ask for? I will definitely be back there again, and will happily refer this hotel to friends and family. read more

Cool random contemporary style but the shower pressure was not very good. We asked them to fix it but nothing changed. The shower fixture was old and didn't work very well which they should have just replaced. Everything else was pretty good, great service and very clean. If you have a hybrid you will get half off parking fees, that's pretty awesome! read more

Hotel Monaco is absolutely the best place to stay in Denver! Whether you are visiting for a night or for a week, Hotel Monaco will make your stay the most enjoyable it can possibly be. I was here with a girl friend for a night layover after a very hectic travel day and the pleasant lady at the Front Desk was just the friendly face we needed to see. She was so helpful and welcoming and I wish I could remember her name! Our room was beautiful and came with our very own goldfish, who we named Pete. We were spoiled with a gorgeous amenity of champagne and nibbles (I used to work with someone here so I lucked out!). It was so unexpected and really welcome after our exhausting day. The location of the hotel is hard to beat as it's within walking distance of everything you could want to see in downtown Denver and close to interstate if you want to venture out of downtown. Don't forget to pass by the daily wine happy hour in the gorgeous lobby, it's a fun way to meet people and mingle with the staff as well. Tina, the Hotel Manager, is usually present and she is so charming and makes everyone feel at home. Panzano, the hotel restaurant is not to be missed either. Chef Elise Wiggins is award winning and you can see why once you try her expertly prepared Brussels sprouts! All in all, Hotel Monaco is everything you would want in a hotel and much more, an easy five star review, and I would give them more if I could! read more

My husband and I wanted a night out in Denver and thought a local hotel would be a ton of fun. From making the reservations to corresponding with Shannon McAllister via email for my questions the process was easy and helpful. We purchased a package which included parking which was great. They have a complimentary cocktail hour from 5-6 every night. They have red/white wine and one appetizer. After reading reviews we decided to try out the hotel restaurant for happy hour. The room was very nice and of course I had to ask for a gold fish in our room just b/c it is offered :) The bedding is down which is the best! In the AM they have coffee and tea for you as well which is a great touch in the lobby. Great for walking everywhere! Just a couple blocks from the 16th street mall and Larimar Square. Great location. We will be back! I wished that had free wi fi... read more

i was here a couple of weeks ago. i searched on hotels.com and this hotel came up. overall, the stay was pretty damn good. it was convenient to things and they had a great happy hour- free wine and massages! they also offered free bike rentals, although i didnt try them. i'll definitely stay here again! read more

Stayed for few days at the Hotel Monaco. The room was large and clean. The staff is friendly. They only thing I did not like is the number of dogs in the hotel as I am not a dog person. Just seemed strange to see so many dogs in a hotel in the back of my mind I worried if there had been dogs in the room I stayed in although the room was clean. If you are bringing your dog it is a nice place to stay for me I would choose a different hotel on future trips. read more

Wish we could have stayed longer. Great service, nice rooms, and love the coffee downstairs. Only downside is they told us a fish would be brought up for our son, and it never came. It's a great location and I would definitely stay again. read more

I generally like Kimptons and have stayed at the Hotel Monaco at least 10 times in the last 15 years. This past experience left so much to be desired. The first room they put me in faced into a parking garage -- literally so close that I could hear two gentlemen standing outside their cars having a conversation less than 15 feet from my window. Absolutely no light came into the room. I asked to be moved, so they moved me to a room facing an interior courtyard and an abandoned building across the way. Again, very little natural light made it into the room and if you opened the curtains your neighbors would have a full view of whatever it is you happened to be doing. The front desk staff was less than accommodating and acted as if they were doing you a favor allowing you to stay there. Not a good visit this time. Will reevaluate booking this hotel again. read more

Just based off if the young man Kamal working valet, he was extremely approachable and knowledgeable about the area. Directions given to us were easy peasy. I would recommend parking there with him just to get some sandwiches over at the corner subway shop. Great kid, wish him nothing but the best. read more

This where we should have had our wedding sighhh. Met up with friends from out of town and spent the evening living the high life. The decor, the service and everything about this hotel make you feel appreciated. Oh well, back to reality. read more

Absolutely love Kimpton hotels. They pay attention to the little details. I happened to book the hotel on Priceline and was very happy when I did, as I have stayed in other Kimpton properties in other cities and always had a good experience. The gentleman who checked me in at the front desk was very friendly and the process was quick and easy. As I am a member, I got a 10$ voucher for either a drink at the bar or to select something from the mini bar in my room. Love that! Free Wifi is also another perk you are entitled to as a member. They also have a nightly free wine hour in the very comfortable and plush lobby/sitting room. That is definitely one of my favorite things that they offer. Coffee in the morning is located in the same place. My room was spacious, let in a lot of natural light, was very clean, and nicely decorated. The bed was comfortable and I got a great night sleep. They will even bring a cute little fish in a bowl to keep you company in your room! Very unique idea and pretty adorable. Highly recommend! read more

If you are allergic to dogs don't stay here. They are everywhere. They need a floor that is non animal friendly.

Do not stay here if you like being a valued customer. My mother stayed here during a recent visit and I helped check her in and after the man at the counter was extremely rude to her about possibly staying an extra night (she wanted to pay for it and they had vacancies but he said it would cost more and then claimed he would have to cancel her reservation to even check how much- when she said this was fine he said that it was very difficult to do and he couldn't- hello? She wanted to pay!!), we turned to go to the elevator and he started talking about us within our hearing! After all that, they gave her a room with a lovely view of a 12 foot wall and behind the elevators. Do. Not. Stay. Here. They obviously care very little about keeping their customers happy so it's a good thing they occupy a great location in a niche market where they don't have to give a damn. read more

We were welcomed to the hotel by being offered a complimentary room upgrade, from a queen standard room to a corner room king suite. The room was well appointed with comfy chairs, couch, 2 flat screen TV's , large jacuzzi tub, cheetah print robes, yoga mats... I can go on and on. Crazy that we got all this for under $200/night. The hotel staff is sincere and friendly. The free wine hour is awesome, it includes neck/shoulder massages and there's a wii available to play. The restaurant off the lobby is excellent. The food is great and the staff is even better. We were treated very well and will be back. read more

I am bias because I love Kimpton properties (and they are dog-friendly). I love the Monaco. The staff cannot do enough to make your stay the most pleasant experience possible. Every time I stay, I am greeted with a bottle of water and a delicious bag of birthday cake popcorn in my room (I am a sucker for that popcorn). As an "InTouch" member (their loyalty program) I receive free in-room WiFi and the newspaper of my choice at my door in the morning. During my most recent stay, they were offering InTouch members a complimentary mini-bar credit as a "thank you" for choosing Monaco. Their bath products are C.O. Bigelow (enough said) and their robes are animal print (very comfy and cute). They have a "laundry list" of items that they provide complimentary if you forget (I only mention it because it is a much more expansive list than most hotels). And if they don't have the item that you have forgotten, they will run out and get it for you. They have a complimentary wine hour in the main lobby in the evening, which I have yet to take advantage of. You certainly won't regret choosing this hotel. read more

Make sure to take all your belongings! We stayed here on the first night of our honeymoon and I accidentally left 4 pairs of sunglasses (all the pairs I brought for our 7 day trip) on top of the dresser. We left early in the morning to drive to Jackson Hole. Once I noticed I left them I called the hotel but all they kept telling me was that "they are not in the log". When I asked if the specific person(s) who cleaned the room or the next guest that checked in were asked, I never got a straight answer. I left my name and contact information multiple times, but was never contacted back. Every time I called to follow up, they had no record of my "case" and re-took my contact information. I called and left multiple messages for the manager but they never called me back. I know that it is my fault that I left my glasses, but you think they would be more helpful to a guest who left ~$700 worth of belongings in their room. I would not suggest staying here. read more

My review does not concern the hotel itself as I sadly did not have a chance to experience it. This review does concern the amazing guest services we received today. Allow me to elaborate: We booked a trip from Chicago to Denver to attend a speaking event with Caitlyn Jenner. We were even supposed to meet her afterwards. This was meant to be a Christmas/Birthday/Anniversary present for my partner and I. Well much to our disappointment, Caitlyn ended up cancelling a few weeks ago. We decided we were going to make the best of the trip and fly out regardless, and simply fly back the next day as planned. Well, today came and Chicago was hit with a massive snow storm resulting in roughly 1000 flight cancellations, including our flight. Upon purchase, our room was listed as nonrefundable, so my hopes for a refund were low. However, my experience could not have been more pleasant. I spoke with Lauren (I believe that is her name) who was helpful in getting me in touch with her manager after she finished with a meeting. I then spoke with Hannah Myers, the manager of guest services. She was extremely helpful, understanding, and sympathetic to our situation. She explained that she could not process the refund herself, but would talk to her boss when he arrived. I received an email roughly 45 minutes later after this conversation and was surprised to find out that I would receive a full refund. She noted that her boss also felt sympathetic to our situation. After many negative events, finally something positive. Anyway, the guest services at Hotel Monaco Denver have been impeccable for this experience. Lauren and Hannah have been literally the only positives to this day, and I am beyond thankful for their help and understanding throughout this terribly annoying and frustrating process. I will most definitely be booking with Hotel Monaco Denver in the future as I visit Colorado a couple times, yearly. read more

I've stayed at the Hotel Monaco in Denver twice for business trips. It is very conveniently located near the popular 16th street mall and numerous attractions. The rooms are nicely decorated and very comfortable. The free happy hour was a delight. As a Kimpton member, the hotel also granted free wi-fi and $10 credit for the minibar. read more

Hotel Monaco in Denver is our go to spot when we travel to Colorado. When we travel we try to stay at Kimpton hotels because their staff is awesome and we have a good time there. This time was no different. I like the funky rooms that are spacious. The hotel is in a great part of town that offers a variety of bars and restaurants to keep you full, tipsy, and happy. We had a great stay and had great help from the team at Hotel Monaco. While the parking is really expensive they did have our vehicle ready quickly every time we called down. I look forward to getting a chance to stay at the Hotel Monaco again in the future. read more

Great location in regards to 16th street mall. Walking distance to Rino district and walking distance to other business districts. Highly recommended! The front staff has been amazing! The beds are a little hard and air conditioning units are older. The hotel is updated and beautiful. The bartender today has been amazing but did encounter a bartender named Dan-e who did not seem welcoming. He definitely did not enjoy his job. Besides him, I would highly recommend the hotel to all. read more

We had a great stay here when driving across the country with our cats. Finally a NICE hotel that welcomes pets (and makes bringing them fun) instead of the usual Motel 6! When we arrived, they had our pets names on the welcome board, which was a nice touch and everyone was incredibly friendly. The room was well maintained and surprisingly large for a trendy hotel in downtown Denver. Loved every minute of the experience would love to visit again next time we are in Denver. read more

I should start by saying that I was a particularly needy, high maintenance guest at the Hotel Monaco this weekend. I wanted to make sure that everything went perfectly for my girlfriends birthday, so I called 4 times leading up to my stay. The front desk staff was very helpful and nice every time I tweaked our plans. The room was beautiful, the decor was breathtaking, our view of downtown Denver was just perfect. The wine and cheese hour was very convenient. We enjoyed playing Wii Golf, free wine, great atmosphere and free massages. I requested a bottle of champagne be sent to the room as a surprise and upon checking out I found out that it was complimentary. I would and will definitely go back again and would recommend you do too. read more

Great location, but an older hotel. I had a nice room with a good bed. The halls look old, but I would recommend you stay here. Really like the wine and snacks at the end of the day. All the staff is nice and your close to everything downtown. Its about a $50 cab ride from the airport so not to bad. Give them a try, I think you will like it. Look out for the Cow in the lobby. read more

Another great stay in a Kimpton hotel. My husband and I take an anniversary trip every year and this year we decided on Denver. We were thrilled to learn that there was a Kimpton hotel in the heart of downtown, so we booked it right away. We had planned to just check out the town, that was before the snow and cold set in. Since our room was so cozy, we spent a good portion of our weekend cuddled up in the big comfy bed. The room was really cute and decorated with a fun Western theme. I loved the cow print throw blanket, it was so fuzzy and warm, perfect for cuddling up on those cold days. The room was small, but it had everything we needed. My one and only suggestion would be to invest in a double shower head, that would have been the icing on the cake. I love the modern flair of the rooms and the fact that you can get a goldfish friend to keep you company. I also love that they have a little wine and appetizer happy hour everyday. We did check that out one day and it was quite crowded. I wish they had more than one appetizer offering each day though, I was not a fan of the one option they had the day we went. The lobby is really well decorated and welcoming, so I could definitely see why the happy hour is such a success. In fact, we spent about an hour in front of the fireplace in the lobby before heading to the airport. They also have free coffee and tea in the mornings. The service here is nothing but top notch! When we checked in we were given a map of the city and the representative even took the time to explain different parts of the city to us. We also forgot a few toiletries and they were promptly delivered to our room. This hotel really has it all, cool modern comfortable rooms, great service, and a great location. I am convinced that you will never be disappointed by a Kimpton hotel! read more

I stayed here when I was in town for a conference. I found the service to be absolutely wonderful. I was originally in a room that was joined to the room next to it via an internal door. After it became clear that my neighbors were going to be too loud for me to get restful sleep, I requested a room change which the hotel was friendly about accommodating. They moved all my belongings for me to my new room while I was attending conference activities. I was pleasantly surprised at the end of the day to find myself placed in a massive suite. Definitely take advantage of the pet goldfish when you stay here. And make a point to visit Panzano where the wait staff and food are fantastic. read more

I stayed here last night for business and I haven't had such friendly and helpful customer service at a hotel in a long time. They gave me a free upgrade to a whirlpool tub room and let me check in early. They held my bags at the desk after I checked out. They rent bikes for free and have free happy hour at 5 every day with shoulder massages apparently. Overall, great experience. I'm going to look into other Kimpton hotels in the future. read more

ENJOYABLE COMFORTABEL QUIRKY RETRO FAUX EUROPEAN BOUTIQUE WITH A GREAT BAR & RESTAURANT I stayed in a Hotel Monaco for the first time in 1999 in San Francisco and it was a unique treat. The Denver version is a bit less distinctive, closer to a brand name hotel, but still refreshingly unusual in appearance and amenities. In the closet were a tiger print robe and leopard print boxers and on the bed was a faux fur throw. Medium size room with a comfy bed and adequate bathroom (small tub/shower combo). Missing from my first experience were the cool logo coffee cups and stationery (suggests penurious economizing?). The lobby is great, over-the-top retro/cheesecake interior decoration . The restaurant and bar (Panzano's) are first rate. The bartender can actually make excellent Mojitos and Caipiranhas and the selection of Scotch is excellent (I had McCallans 18). The location in the heart of Denver is convenient to all the downtown attractions. The staff is quite solicitous and cheery. If you like the unusual rather than another cookie cutter hotel or ridiculously expensive 4/5 star brand names, this is for you. Downsides? Broadband wireless service is slow and signal strength is marginal. As with all hotels, TV channel selection is way too limited in the age of satellite and DSL and there's no digital HD television. Oh, and pet friendly, too. ENJOYABLE COMFORTABEL QUIRKY RETRO FAUX EUROPEAN BOUTIQUE WITH A GREAT BAR & RESTAURANT read more

Beautiful, modern, boutique-ish style hotel. Very clean and dog friendly,

If I could afford it, I would escape and spend one a night a month at this hotel. Great customer service, valet parking, and COMFY beds!

Truly fabulous stay what a hotel modern, clean, friendly and pet friendly. Every room has a goldfish we named ours Sage . Restaurant attached was delightful. We plan to stay again, bikes available for use and refreshments offered at the entrance.. Truly spectacular read more

The location is great, my room is clean and the decor is super fun. After a minor hiccup during check-in, the situation was quickly remedied above and beyond by LeMarcus. The rooms are beautiful, the restaurant is AMAZING and the Kimpton level of service is always enjoyed! The lobby is also super cozy and a great place to do some work. Highly recommend. read more

very friendly staff, great customer service.. located in downtown denver. They also gave me $10 gift card to the mini bar.

My wife and I stayed here both on our wedding night, and on our 9th anniversary this last June. It is still just as amazing as it was 9 years ago. This is our favorite hotel in Denver by far. It just has this magical vibe to it. The design is very cool, the Panzano restaurant downstairs is really good, and it's not even that expensive for how nice of a place it is. Plus you can't beat the location. If you are going to Denver for business or pleasure, this is the place to stay. read more
