Curtis

Denver


The Curtis is like stepping into a doo-bop Warhol wonderworld: 13 themed floors, each devoted to a different genre of American pop culture. Rooms are spacious and very mod. Attention to detail – either through the service or the decor – is paramount at the Curtis. While it's managed by the Doubletree, this is a one-of-a-kind hotel in the heart of downtown.

The hotel’s refreshingly different take on sleeping may seem too kitschy for some – you can get a wake-up call from Elvis – but if you’re tired of the same old international brands, this spot might just be your tonic.
