Halcyon, a Hotel in Cherry Creek
Sip handcrafted cocktails, dine at innovative eateries and meander through the largest gatherings of independently owned businesses in Colorado while staying in Denver’s Cherry Creek neighborhood. Whether you’re traveling solo, with your partner or your family, the Halcyon is the ideal homebase for exploring the Mile High City and beyond.
Light and airy perfectly define the minimalistic design of the Halcyon. Here, guests immediately feel at ease as they indulge in comforts you won’t find at traditional hotels, like Nespresso coffee machines, vinyl record players and breathtaking views of the soaring downtown area and surrounding Colorado Rockies. Each guest also receives gratis day passes to the nearby Denver Botanic Gardens, one of the top botanic gardens in the country, which houses 24 acres of flora from all over the world.
What makes it special?
This hotel was designed to make each visitor feel special from the moment they walk into the lobby, where they’re greeted with a glass of Champagne or cup of espresso. From yoga mats and cute cocktail stations in each room to carefully curated art throughout the property, including pieces by renowned Colorado artists Roland Bernier and Joel Swanson, these seemingly small yet thoughtful details are what set Halcyon apart.
The most Colorado thing about this place
No one loves the great outdoors quite like Coloradans, and — at Halcyon — they encourage you to choose your own adventure at their Gear Garage. Free to guests, it offers street-worthy and outdoorsy equipment like Piaggo scooters, snowshoes, cruiser bikes, Hamboards and longboards. Now it’s time to choose your next wilderness adventure — with Denver as the jumping-off point.
Coolest amenity
When you stay at Halcyon, your fitness routine doesn’t have to sit on the back burner. Along with an elite, on-site fitness and wellness center, the hotel has partnered with some of the top fitness studios in Cherry Creek — find your Zen at CorePower Yoga, burn off last night’s cocktails at SoulCycle or be a ballerina for the day at barr3. Their exclusive gym pass gives guests free access to classes at participating facilities. Learn more about Halcyon’s Wellness Passport.
Room with the best view
While not a room, per se, the incredible views of the towering Denver skyline and snowcapped Rocky Mountains from the Halcyon rooftop pool deck are worth mentioning and experiencing (with a Colorado-brewed beer in hand, of course!).
Our favorite traveler review
“My husband and I recently stayed at the Halcyon for a weekend away and had an amazing experience. From the moment we walked in, it felt like we were entering a cozy, but elegant home. Some of my favorite things were the never-ending amenities: complimentary coffee, tea, beer, wine at the lounge along with beautiful coffee-table books to browse while relaxing in front of the fire ... Heaven! And the rooms had so many thoughtful touches including the record player, Nespresso machine and delicious biscuits. The bed and pillows were also incredibly comfortable. Overall, we had an unforgettable experience at the Halcyon and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxury hotel with a personal feel.” — Joanie B., Yelp
