ART Hotel Denver, Curio Collection by Hilton recently completed its $3 million property-wide refresh to its 165 guestrooms and suites, meeting and event spaces, 24-hour fitness center, private dining and public spaces.

The art-centric hotel, located in Denver’s Golden Triangle District, provides guests with a new enhanced experience inspired by its art collection curated by the esteemed Dianne Vanderlip, former curator of modern and contemporary art at Denver Art Museum. Perfect for cultural explorers, ART Hotel Denver serves as the keystone to the downtown Denver area.

“We are thrilled to usher in a refresh for guests of The ART Hotel Denver with a new era of design and aesthetic,” said Alison Mitchell, general manager, ART Hotel Denver. “Staying true to our artistic ethos and the cultural roots of our surrounding community, we are committed to offering a captivating and exceptional experience to all.”

Spearheaded by TDA Interiors, the refresh of The ART Hotel Denver intends to keep the iconic artistic essence and neighborhood influence that serves as the basis of the property. Contemporary works grace the hotel’s two galleries, inspire its meeting rooms, spill into the hallways and adorn every guestroom. Floor-to-ceiling windows fill the property with natural light, allowing each piece to fully be experienced.

Pops of color in the new custom furniture, paint and carpet seamlessly complement the hotel’s natural finishes, modern design and comprehensive art collection of original works of art celebrating the creative spirit of 20th– and 21st-century artists around the world. Each guestroom reflects a refreshed design concept featuring navy textured carpet accented by blue, yellow and green seating chairs; window drapery; colorful bedding fabric; and an upgraded bathroom with white Italian marble.

Guests and locals delight in the hotel’s cosmopolitan FIRE Restaurant and its outdoor lounge, which embodies the American art and craft of playful yet sincere hospitality in a modern setting drawing on the energy of the city below.

The property-wide refresh also includes an enhancement of its 7,500 square feet of flexible meeting and event spaces, including new furniture, carpet, lighting, baseboards, paint, wall coverings, and audio and visual upgrades. This includes a refreshed 3,100-square-foot ballroom that can be divided into three sections, conference rooms, a boardroom, private dining spaces and an outdoor terrace space for smaller events.

Through a new national partnership with Soothe, guests of The ART Hotel Denver can book on-demand, spa-quality massage treatments in the comfort of the newly refreshed guestrooms. Other wellbeing enhancements include Peloton Bikes in the refreshed 24-hour fitness center outfitted with new furniture, rubber flooring, wall covering and finishes.

Counting Stars: Acclaimed Restaurants Elevate Hotel Dining

The dining experience began long before I even stepped foot into the 2-Michelin-starred restaurant at Hotel Arts Barcelona. As my husband and I checked in, we could tell the property was already setting the tone for what was to come. A private elevator brought us to the club level where we were greeted with two key cards for our hotel room and two freshly poured glasses of bubbling Cava Gran Reserva, perfectly chilled and perfectly timed.

Leopard Sands River Lodge Review

Getting to and from Leopard Sands River Lodge in Kruger National Park is half the fun, as it is a short, scenic drive from tiny Skukuza Airport (possibly one of the most attractive and mellow in existence) and main entrance of Kruger National Park, which turns 100 in 2026. Having evolved into a well-oiled machine since its December 2023 opening, it presents its first “wow” moment 30 minutes before even setting foot on the property. As baggage is brought in from the plane, drivers from the lodge set out a selection of beer; soft drinks; and locally produced dried fruit, nut mixes and biltong (the South African cousin to jerky). It’s a small sample of what’s to come.
