The Crawford Hotel
Golden-age-of-rail luxury meets LoDo cool. Think Art Deco detailing, lush fabrics, curated artwork, and a mezzanine cocktail lounge perched above one of America's great train halls. Not a hushed resort — this place has real city pulse.
Ask for a room overlooking the Great Hall for dramatic interior views — but know those face inward, not the street
Why It Matters
Housed inside a working Beaux-Arts train station with multiple James Beard Award-winning restaurants downstairs, direct light-rail connection to Denver International Airport, and rooms hand-crafted to reflect the golden age of rail travel. Winner of Travel + Leisure World's Best 2023 and multiple Condé Nast Traveler Reader's Choice Awards.
The Crawford Hotel occupies the upper floors of Denver's 1914 Beaux-Arts Union Station — a fully functioning train hub that doubles as the hotel's grand public living room. Opened in 2014 and named for legendary Denver preservationist Dana Crawford, this 112-room independent boutique hotel pulls off a rare trick: genuine historic bones (original millwork, soaring ceilings, Great Hall below) with rooms that feel designed, not decorated. The lobby technically serves rail passengers too, so you're sharing space with commuters and day-trippers. That energy is part of the appeal — or not your thing, depending.
