Warwick Denver Hotel Rating: 4.0 Pearls

Uptown, Denver, Colorado

The Hotel Warwick's brand of style is homey and eclectic. They call the lobby the "living area," and with its hardwood floors, fireplace, coffered ceilings, ample seating, and knickknacks displayed in recessed shelves, it could almost pass as somebody's home. But its scale, and the busy fabrics, betray it as a chain hotel.

The hotel sits on a grassy, tree-lined street, and the entrance is guarded -- somewhat arbitrarily -- by two large Chinese lions.

The Warwick Denver is situated on the outskirts of downtown Denver in an area known as Uptown. It's within walking distance to some major Denver attractions, like the 16th Street Pedestrian Mall and the State Capitol Building, but some may find it a bit too far from the action.

Since the Warwick is located just outside of downtown, its rooms offer great views of the city from the huge balconies. The hotel was originally built as an apartment complex, which explains why the balconies are the largest in the city, although they could use better seating.

The rooms are among Denver's largest, and are decorated in shades of cream, gray, and red. They're perfectly comfortable -- if not quite stylish. Some of the wall art looks generic and the furniture is pretty run-of-the-mill.

In the suites, glass French doors separate the living room and the bedroom, making sleeping accommodations easier for families.

• Large balconies overlooking downtown Denver, where smoking is permitted
• In the suites, classic French doors partition the living and sleeping areas. One-Bedroom Suites have queen sofa beds.
• Most bathrooms have shower/tub combos. Junior Suites have a walk-in shower with rain showerhead and separate tub. The Governor's Suite and Presidential Suite have big Jacuzzi tubs.
• Bathrobes and slippers upon request

Even though the pool is somewhat small, the location and prime city view from the Warwick Denver’s outdoor, rooftop patio is impressive.

• Rooftop pool open year-round, with outstanding views of the city
• Fitness center isn't Denver's largest, and some may find its offering of strength training machines, free weights, and cardio machines too limited, but it does offer great views of downtown through a wall of windows.
• Free car service, but it’s only within a two-mile radius; other downtown hotels offer car service with a five- to 10-mile radius
• No on-site spa
• 10,000 square feet of meeting spaces
• Pet friendly, but for a steep cleaning fee
• Wi-Fi, for a fee
