A Perfect Romantic Retreat

Glenwood Springs is the perfect little mountain town and the couples destination you have been searching for. Looking to make adventurous memories together? There are dozens of miles of hiking and biking trails within a short drive of town. Break out of your routine with some heart-pumping activities and breathtaking views of the mountains surrounding Glenwood Springs.

Hanging Lake may be the pinnacle of a couple’s hike, but it’s also a busy one as a result! Be sure to check out the visitor center page for permit and seasonal information. Despite the occasional crowds, it’s well worth the visit. Red Mountain is another option just to the west of town offering a moderate hike up switchbacked dirt roads and spectacular views of the city at the top. For a less vigorous experience, you can take the Glenwood Canyon Recreation trail by foot or bike up to 14 miles east along the Colorado River. Or try walking or biking on the Rio Grande Trail, which travels 42 miles all the way up the valley to Aspen!

Midday Relaxation Techniques

Need to relax after a big day in the outdoors? Stop by one of Glenwood Springs’ three hot springs facilities for a relaxing soak or a massage with your partner at the perfect couples destination. The famous Glenwood Hot Springs Pool is known for its enormous main pool, and has its own gift shop and food too. Iron Mountain Hot Springs is nearby as well, offering a series of hot pools at varying temperatures, a family pool, and causual food and drink. Yampah Spa and Vapor Caves is another great option featuring a rare natural geothermal steam bath and spa services.

Just want a restful afternoon? Stroll along Grand Avenue together to learn about the history of our town, shop at our charming boutiques, or browse artwork in our numerous galleries. As a Hotel Denver guest, your room is within steps of the Mona Lisa women’s clothing and accessories and Simply Massage if you feel the need for a little downtime pampering.

What Our Guests Say

Wendy F.

Wendy F. says: "Love it here. Such a warm feel. Staff very friendly. Nice to have a coffee shop &restaurant in the building if the weather is bad or you're too tired to leave!"

Zachary F.

Zachary F. says: "My fiancé and I came up to Glenwood Springs for our five year anniversary and were blown away at how beautiful the town was. Hotel Denver was a great place to stay. Coming from Denver we love our beer and it was awesome that the hotel had a brewery inside. The beer and food were very tasty and reasonably priced. What made our stay at Hotel Denver was the employees, their kindness and hospitality were beyond amazing. We forgot our day passes for the hot springs and the hotel staff went out of their way to drop them off for us so we could enjoy the hot springs. I definitely recommend staying here!"

Don M.

Don M. says: "Great historic hotel with cute rooms, friendly staff, and great location to walk and explore everything Glenwood Springs has to offer. Parking is included and available at an open-air lot across the street. Brewery and restaurant on site but a very short walk to a number of food dinner spots. Directly opposite Amtrak station but didn't hear any noise from it or the I-70 across the river."

Rebekah Z.

Rebekah Z. says: "Gorgeous decor, perfect location, and pet-friendly! The front desk staff are incredibly personable and friendly, and they loved on our dogs our entire trip. The room was spacious and comfortable, and we slept like a dream with the blackout curtains. We really loved our stay here, and we're already planning our next trip back!"

Ryan W.

Ryan W. says: "Great Hotel choice in downtown Glenwood. We received very good service. It's close to many good restaurants and bars. We enjoyed our stay."

Jeremy H.

Jeremy H. says: "We came to Glenwood for a weekend get-a-way and the original hotel we had booked was not what we were expecting. We came to the downtown area and fell in love with this hotel the minute we walked in and decided to book a room here for the weekend. It is very clean, nicely decorated, in a great location, and the service here is the best you will receive! The staff truly changed the beginning experiences of our weekend! Don’t make the mistake of 'shopping around,' book at this hotel and you won’t regret it!"

Meredith D.

Meredith D. says: "I had been planning a romantic weekend with my husband, and I chose the Hotel Denver for our stay. The hotel is historic, interesting, and quite pleasant. Check in was easy, and we were given instructions about convenient parking and easy ways to access the hot springs pool and other restaurants. The room was delightfully cute and historic, and had a great view of the river and the hot springs pool. This was a lovely place to stay, and we will definitely be back!!"

Patrick M.

Patrick M. says: "This was an excellent stay in Glenwood Springs. My room was perfect and everything was in order. The bed was the highest quality. The breakfast deli (River Blend Coffee) was very good and the Brew Pub offers a great menu. I'm a high maintenance and picky business traveler and couldn't be more pleased. Thank you Denver Hotel."

Marc W.

Marc W. says: "This is the second time my wife and I have stayed at this charming hotel in Glenwood Springs. The staff is so wonderful! They were able to get a pet friendly room and were instrumental in helping the three of us in having a great night! When we checked out the next morning, the staff member at the front desk was so helpful and her warm personality helped us to start our day off right. I wish we could give this place six stars for its warm atmosphere, friendly helpful staff and great brew pub and food! STAY HERE, you won't be disappointed!"
