The Ramble Hotel

Character and identity

The first hotel to land in River North (RiNo), Denver's industrial-turned-creative quarter, the Ramble is new construction styled to feel lived-in: warehouse-style square-paned windows, jewel-toned velvet couches on antique rugs, oversized chandeliers, and a real metal room key on a leather strap. There's no formal lobby. You walk straight into Death & Co, the Manhattan cocktail institution's second outpost, which doubles as the hotel's bar, all-day dining room, and morning coffee counter. At 50 rooms across navy, brass, and plaid interiors, with a courtyard called The Garden and Pan-Latin dim sum spot Super Mega Bien next door, the register is unbuttoned and design-literate rather than polished.

Who's it for

Bottom line

The reason to book is the marriage of Death & Co downstairs and a 50-room boutique that genuinely sweats the details upstairs, in a neighbourhood worth walking. Spend up for a corner king to get the second wall of windows and RiNo views, and ask at check-in for a Death & Co reservation and the staff's printed neighbourhood tip cards.
