    Was there for an event. The lobby was so pretty with the decor. Love the floral display and the sweeping staircase. Clear signage showed us the way and the coat racks were a nice touch. The ballroom we were in was well lit but not too bright that it hurt your eyes. The table was nicely laid and even with the salad and dessert on it, there was enough space. The servers were polite and helpful. I appreciated that they brought me tea while serving coffee. The option was appreciated since usually I don't get an after dinner beverage if it's not coffee. The food served was delicious. The salad a nice mix of textures and tastes. The short rib tender and flavorful. And the dessert was light without the icing on top. The audio visual system worked well and we could hear the speakers clearly. Many attendees found parking in structures or lots around the hotel. But there is a valet option and charging stations for electric vehicles. I believe you can self park but I'm not sure. I parked in a nearby garage. The women's restroom has a little alcove area with a baby changing table and seating. Clean and well stocked, it was fabulous. A lot of my opinions about a location is based on their restrooms and this one impressed me. I would like to come again to experience more of the hotel.

    We had only a one night stay in the Ritz-Carlton Denver but had no complaints with our stay. The check in process was went smoothly and even though we arrived before check in, we were able to get in our room and were even upgraded to a suite due to our Marriott status. There is also champagne in the lobby in the afternoon even though we were not able to catch it in time for this trip. We had a suite on the 5th floor that was spacious with a living room/sitting area, large bathroom with Diptyque toiletries, and a separate area for closets. The bed was plush and the sheets were crisp and cool. I appreciated that all windows had blackout curtains however, the closet light did not turn off so it was a little bright throughout the night. I would love to come back and spend more time at this property and even dine at Elway located in the lobby.

    I stayed at the Ritz-Carlton Denver and had a priceless family heirloom necklace stolen from my room. Housekeeping entered multiple times while I was out, and when I reported the theft, the hotel deflected all responsibility. I was directed to their third-party claims department, who quickly closed the case without any real investigation. When I asked for further information, they told me nothing would be shared unless I obtained a subpoena. This level of indifference and lack of transparency is shocking--especially from a hotel that markets itself as a luxury property. There was no empathy, no accountability, and no real effort to help. I expected safety and professionalism; instead, I got stonewalling and dismissal. I will never stay here again, and I urge others to think twice before trusting this hotel with anything of value.

    One of my children went to a party for UC Anschutz and I stopped in as well. Ritz Carltons are always top notch and this is no different. The layout is great Service is what you would expect. When my out of town friends come to visit I would most def recommend.

    Welcome to The Ritz-Carlton, Denver: Luxury Meets Mile-High Charm.

    Welcome to The Ritz-Carlton, Denver: Luxury Meets Mile-High Charm. As Denver's first and longest-running AAA Five-Diamond hotel, The Ritz-Carlton Denver sets the standard for luxury accommodation. They've taken the concept of pampering to new heights, offering spacious rooms, stunning suites, and even a dedicated Club Level for extra exclusivity. But luxury isn't just about amenities - it's about feeling welcome. The Ritz-Carlton, Denver is proud to be a pet-friendly hotel & ensured our dog Forbes enjoyed the stay as much as we did. We were transported into a world of refined comfort when we stepped into The Ritz-Carlton, Denver's elegant lobby. The staff's warm welcome and genuine hospitality set the tone for the entire stay; they offered us a complimentary glass of champagne upon arrival. Kyle at the front desk was polished and professional; he greeted us by name each time we passed through the lobby. This attention to customer detail was fantastic and made us feel special. We stayed in the expansive Presidential Suite - this is one of the nicest suites we've stayed in, in Denver. It was furnished and decorated beautifully - modern yet grand. The Presidential Suite was 2605 sqft with 1 Bedroom, 1 King bed, 1 Sofa bed, a living room/sitting area, a workout space, a dining/kitchen area, & a separate dining room. The Bedroom boasted stunning city views and a plush king-sized bed that was so comfortable. We slept like babies every night. The marble bathroom with a deep soaking tub and large rain shower was the perfect spot to unwind. The Ritz had a dog bed and bowls waiting in the room for Forbes. In the kitchen area - The Ritz provided us with the sweetest welcome that included champagne & snacks. We had access to The Club Level where four culinary presentations were offered throughout the day (breakfast, midday snack, hors d'oeuvres, & dessert), a comfortable lounge setting, Denver views, and personalized concierge service. We got breakfast at The Club Level every morning. They had a Continental Breakfast buffet that included eggs, bacon, sausage, bagels, pastries, cereal, fresh fruit, juices, coffee & more. Location is everything and stepping outside The Ritz-Carlton, Denver we were in the heart of the city's action. We were within walking distance of the vibrant energy of Larimer Square, Dairy Block, & McGregor Square. After a morning of exploration, we retreated to the award-winning Ritz-Carlton Spa. This urban oasis offered a haven of relaxation with treatments designed to melt away stress. Katherine at the front desk was sweet and knowledgeable. They had a full menu of spa services, plus a relaxation lounge, steam rooms, and whirlpools. We enjoyed a Couple's Massage with Lindsey & Beth. Both of them were fantastic masseuses with calming demeanors & skilled hands. I had a Stress Relief Massage designed to revive fatigued muscles with moderate to firm pressure. Ross had a Deep Muscle Massage. These were some of the best massages we've ever had. We left the spa feeling revitalized and relaxed. No stay at The Ritz-Carlton, Denver would be complete without a visit to the famed ELWAY'S Downtown. Recently renovated and better than ever, ELWAY'S offered a delectable menu complemented by an extensive wine list. A fabulous stay and we will be back!

    Room w/ a 14th floor view!

    Very old school classic vibe, with a trendy lobby scent. The Ritz is understated with its low-key decor, but who needs that, cuz when you know, you KNOW. Prepare to SPEND staying here, as the name tag comes at a premium. That being said, I would not stay again because there are other fabulous places to stay in Denver with a little bit more of a playful vibe. Side note: Our last night staying there, some very loud guests checked in next to us on the 14th floor, and they sounded like they were banging around and moving furniture and screaming down the hallway. We didn't complain because we're just not those kind of people, but it was interesting.

From the ambience to great…read moreservice to unique wines to affordable food menu prices, my experience with this place almost 3 months ago was quite mesmerizing. Although I had waited this long to write about the place, everything I experienced back then still lingers in my brain. Hence, I am taking the time to write about it. I was going to utilize the "stand up bar tasting of however many wines you can sample" at the price of $20. Unfortunately, the bar was full for that. I was thus kindly asked to get a table and do a flight at the price of $10. What? Only $10? Sure, why not!?!? My waiter (young man in his 20's) was most welcoming and kind-hearted. I forgot his name after the passing of the time. His attentiveness was top-notch. After getting a few suggestions and advice from my wonderful waiter, I went with Roussanne and Orange Muscat as white, Malbec, Carignon and Cabernet Sauvignon as red for my wine flight. Let's not forget to mention. Balistreri's wines are all natural Colorado wines with no sulfites, no additives and are not filtered or fined. What's not to like about all that criteria that they can offer. For food, I got the cheese board ($18 as of May 2026.) I looked at other menu items and the prices for them were quite reasonable despite the fact that this place emits very high-end restaurant feel. After all, this is a family-run business that cares about serving people in the community. I feel that this is their way to say thank you to those who support them. In a neighborhood where three different interstates intertwine, unless someone told you about it, you wouldn't think such a place existed in this North Washington neighborhood. I discovered this place while ago. I am not sure why I had waited this long to visit and see it for myself. Better late than never. Palisade is a gem in the western Colorado but it's at least 4-hour drive from Denver. If you want to save some time and spend some quality time at a winery in a beautiful setting, Balistreri is within your reach.

Then when he did acknowledge me and I stated I would sit at the bar, it took several minutes for the bartender to acknowledge me. The staff was busy speaking to each other and doing side work. Once I was acknowledged, things started getting a little better. When I arrived during breakfast/brunch, I was informed they were in the middle of a menu change, so my choices were limited. Breakfast items include bacon and burritos. I started off with a charcuterie board (though I had asked for a fromage board). This was not only because I wanted some tasty cheese, but I was trying to kill time until the lunch/dinner menu started. The board was a great board, two different meats, three cheeses, a loaf of bread, some nuts and jellies. But it was 40 dollars! I had a few small plates (which was still a lot of food). I had a melon and cucumber salad, which was a good palate cleanser. I also had the roasted king mushrooms, which were underwhelming with no seasoning, and they were a little chewy. The best thing was the wild boar meatballs, which were seasoned really well and in a savory, delicious marinara sauce. All the cocktails were fruity (but not sweet) and refreshing. I had one that was carrot based (Kiss my Carrot with tequila, cointreau, carrot, orange, and ginger), one that had pineapple flavor (paper boat with rum, falernum, aperol, lemon, pineapple), and the smoky smoke and flower (hibiscus mezcal, cointreau, pama, rose water). This spot is a winery, so they have a large wine list. They have handhelds like burgers and flatbreads. Starters like artichoke dip and bruschetta. Some of the current entrees, which might change, are hanger steak, chilean salmon, cauliflower steak. They had a gnocchi dish I was interested in, but it's already been removed from the menu. The restaurant is classy and just like a winery is expected to be. The food is pretty good. But the service was really subpar.

They can't/won't cut in half. Ok, whatever. I don't understand what the big deal is, they obviously posses knives... just cut them instead of saying "no". So stupid. 20ish Minutes after waiting, the person who took my order said it would be 30 minutes to make. Which was weird cause what was going on for the last 20 minutes? 30 minutes to wait is fine, if you don't waste the 20 mins prior resulting in about an hour wait. So, I declined as now we are talking an hour to get 20 simple breakfast burritos. I needed to get to work and I wasn't wanting to wait an entire hour and they just wasted 20 minutes of my time not prepping anything, so I decided not to go with the burritos.

It's freaking burritos. You don't need 2 days to make 20 burritos. And here's the thing, I'm not here for a lecture because I attempted to give YOU business. And I won't be back, either. When you get a customer to purchase your goods, be happy. Provide them the goods. Make it as soon as you can. Don't say no for no reason. Don't make anyone feel bad for trying to give you business. It would have been SOOOOO simple to make the burritos and quick run the knife through them. But, no, the choice was to do nothing for almost a half hour, to refuse to run a knife through them as asked, and then lecture a customer for coming in to order 20 items. It's not like I asked for 100. What if 10 customers came in and each ordered 2? Can you do that? Do they get lectured, too, or...? See ya.

This is a timed, coursed dinner where the entire room sits and eats together, so arriving on time is essential. The format creates a restaurant wide dinner party feel, which sets the tone for the night. Everything feels intentional, from the pacing to the service to the design of the space. The menu changes often and is never repeated, which makes the experience feel special and creative rather than formulaic. Standout dishes for me included the duck doughnut, the wood ear French toast, the venison burger, and the leek cappuccino. The kanpachi crudo and scallop with tamarind were also beautifully balanced, and desserts like Cash's Apple and The Sphere were thoughtful finishes rather than an afterthought. One of the more memorable details was the menu book at the end of the night, featuring the chef's original sketches of the dishes. It's a small touch that really reinforces how personal and considered the experience is.
