Hotel Teatro, Denver

I've recently stayed at this hotel (March 3-5, 2009) for business purposes. When I go to Denver my preference used to be the Hyatt, however Perfect Escapes suggested Hotel Teatro. What a pleasant surprise!. Hotel Teatro surpassed my expectations of a Boutique Hotel. If you are looking for a quality hotel. This gem has it all!. Friendly staff, extremely clean rooms, great decor and location. Well appointed rooms, spacious, cozy bed and top of the line products Aveda and Frette sheets, towels and bathrobes. Service at Hotel Teatro is second to none, food is great although I only had breakfast there. If you are a business traveler you will find that Hotel Teatro has everything to offer to the most discerning guest. This is a truly 5 star hotel. My rating is based on my experience from Luxury Hotels around the world (Paris, New York, London and so forth) only. If you want to compare apples with apples Hotel Teatro is the equivalent of 60 Thompson on Soho, New York or Hazelton Hotel in Toronto. If you know these two hotels you know what I am talking about. Hotel Teatro surpasses Hyatt Denver by far!. Hotel Teatro was a very enjoyable experience!. I will definetely come back! Alma Ontario, Canada

What an incredible hotel and attentive staff. As a frequent traveler, I can tell you this is a well run, lovely hotel, full of people just trying to make your stay wonderful. Great, impeccably clean room, wonderful linens, comfy bed, great Aveda products. For those of you that must have TV, count them two, even one in the bathroom. Close enough to walk to the Theater, restaurants and 16th street mall. Hotel restaurant is excellent. The little extra touches are all there. From the little chocolates after the turn down service at night, to the wonderful desk clerk that checked me out early one cold snowy morning and brought me a cup of fresh brewed coffee to enjoy on my cab ride to the airport. Superior, look no further!

My wife and I stayed here a few years back. It was a great exprience, and a friendly staff. Rooms were a little small though. They were very helpful in getting us where we needed to go with their Land Rover shuttle service.

Friendly courteous staff, comfortable room with every amenity, fabulous bathroom, and a bed that lures you to sleep. Convenient walking distance to the best parts of the city, and quick shuttle available if you need a lift.

the hotel was great. the room was great. the food was great. the lobby was great. the service was great. i would stay here again.

The staff at Teatro aren't just trained to please, they are genuinely happy to fulfill the guests needs and wants. We requested a corner room after hearing from guest services that they are the nicest of the standards. The room was exactly like the photo; spacious, exquisitely designed, clean and comfortable. The bathroom was also exactly like the photo with a soaking tub and rainfall-like shower (with room for two!) Housekeeping comes twice a day, replacing everything in the bathroom and on the bed. There were little touches we didn't expect, such as the flatscreen tv in the bathroom, personalized mini-bar, and the Escalade to drive us to and from local destinations (they say 2-mile radius, but they'll make reasonable exceptions). There are actually two restaurants in the hotel, one of which (Kevin Taylor) is beyond description. Even though the restaurant was busy, we had very nice service and the food was decadent. Chef made exceptions for me due to food allergies, which isn't an easy thing to ask for in 5stars. Definitely try the chocolate cake for desert! The hotel is 2 blocks from 16th St. Mall for some shopping. Palomino Restaurant is also 2 blocks away. The Escalade can take you to both, or if you prefer, Lodo is also nearby for clubs and barhopping. You can also just cross the street to catch a show at the Denver Performing Arts Center. Room service was always prompt and accurate. They quoted 20 minutes for delivery but I don't think we ever waited more than 5. Service is available 24 hours. Coffee and tea are already provided in your room, as well as an iron and ironing board. They offer laundry service, complimentary shoe shining, and complimentary newspaper. I'm sure there were other services that we just didn't know about, so ask Concierge if you want something specific. If you're planning a romantic getaway, take advantage of the Rose Turndown. We also had champagne and chocolate covered strawberries delivered during our dinner at Kevin Taylor. We also preordered side-by-side massages in our room. We chose to leave the kids at home, but in the Guest Services catalog, you'll find all kinds of amenities for babies and children; everything from coloring books to cribs. There is no debate on the cost. You could save alot of money staying at a different hotel in Denver. Simply put, you get what you pay for. Our 3-day stay at Teatro rivals our 10 day honeymoon in Cancun. When we can afford it, we'll happily chose to stay at Teatro again.

I often travel to Denver for business and usually stay at the Hyatt in Downtown. However, for a recent trip for pleasure, I thought I would see what other amenities Denver offered. I came across Hotel Teatro through Orbitz. It was offered as a four star hotel. Doing my research on the property (as I always do), I found favorable reviews from several sources including Conde Nast Traveler (Gold List) and Zagat (Best Hotel in Denver). Seeking a luxurious experience I booked the hotel, expecting an experience unlike any other. From this point forward, my disappointments began. First of all, the hotel is nearly 20 minutes from the Denver Airport (which I expected). However, unlike the Hyatt- or even the Motel 6 and Holiday Inn- Hotel Teatro doesn't offer shuttle service to and from the airport. I discovered this fact only after booking the room and the flight through Orbitz. At this point, I really had no other option but to rent a car during the duration of my four-day stay from the airport Advantage. Upon my arrival at the hotel, I was very disappointed to discover valet parking was available, but an incredible $28 a night. I was not prepared for this charge and sought parking at an off-site location that charged $7 a day. The front desk clerk was nice enough, but the "room with a mountain view" he said he gave me ended up having a disappointing view of a neighboring building's roof. The room was clean and had an overall nice design. A radio near the bed played an orchestra concerta and the Belgium chocolates on the pillow added nice touches to my initial arrival. Upon further inspection, there were several unimpressive elements including: the television offered very few channel choices, the bathroom had a shower instead of a soaking tub (my preference) and Internet was available, but at a rate of $14.95 a day. These minor nuiances are usually huge deal-breakers, but they're definitely not what I expect of a property that had come so highly regarded. Perhaps what made me most upset during my stay occured on Saturday when an unexpected thunderstorm posed a small threat to the evening's plans. I had made reservations at Sparrow and called the concierge to obtain a taxi about 15 minutes before I headed down to the lobby. I expected to have a taxi waiting for me, but instead I was met with a long line of guests who were also waiting. This wouldn't have been so bad (even though no one I spoke with had called ahead to reserve), except the Hotel Teatro staff was so busy accomodating the porn stars who were in town for some show at a Downtown burlesque club, that they were incapble of calling or hailing additional transportation. To add insult to injury, several of the porn stars were escorted to the event in the hotel's Escalade (this service was never offered to me or any other guest...). After waiting almost 20 minutes, I hailed a passing taxi myself and directed the driver to my destination. This experience in particular was completely unwarranted. I felt the only time the staff did anything was for financial incentive (tip). There was an abudance of attention available, but none of it genuine. Room service was offered, with options from the hotel's excellent restaurant, but a simple salad lunch cost more in service charges and gratiuity than the meal itself. I don't consider myself frugual, but also don't like to feel stressed when the hotel I am staying at is nickle-and-diming my every move. Next time I stay in Denver I will likely return to my tried, tested and true Hyatt. Hotel Teatro failed to meet my expectations, although I hope it rises to the challenge and exceeds yours.

The GM of the restaurant was un-professional and rude (rolling his eyes when a glass of water was accidentally tipped over) and some of its employees try to make the GM happy instead of satisfying the customers. The hotel itself is truly unique and first class with very friendly service, undeniable. However, for a better dining experience, I recommend go elsewhere, and there are plenty to choose from at that location.

We spent the night at the Hotel Teatro just last evening and I was committed to writing a review as soon as possible. You might find a few people on various sites say this hotel was not nice, staff rude, rooms small, etc. but I can tell you that none of it is true. The staff was unbelievably professional, attentive and accomodating. The room was not huge but certainly not small but what it lacked in size (again, not small) it more then made up in ambiance and ammenities. The down filled comforter and pillows, the lush towels, wonderful comfy bathrobes and of course the Aveda products made it especially nice because sometimes it's the little things that make the huge difference. Nightly turn down service proved to be more then that when the replaced all of our towels and bath products before we came back because we had both showered before going out to dinner. Never had a staff do that at the best of 5 star hotels at a turn down. The shower is incredible...like standing in a gentle summer rain fall and the bathroom tiling was beautiful. We had dinner in the hotel restaraunt called Kevin Taylor and it was, shall I say, fabulous. The only thing bad I can say is that there is a scale in the bathroom and after eating dinner, going for a strole around Denver and partaking in a few after dinner drinks, I did not want to even LOOK at a scale. So, Hotel Teatro...ace the scales in the bathrooms (LOL). We've stayed at many hotels throughout the country and many in the Denver area alone and I highly recommend this hotel and will stay there again and again!

This hotel was nearly perfect in every way. Fantastic location in downtown Denver, and very friendly staff. The lobby showcases some great costumes from the theater. The rooms are beautiful, with lots of great touches. The bathroom was great, tumbled marble, granite countertops, Aveda bath products, and wonderful robes. And best of all is the shower! They have one of those rain shower heads that just makes you feel like you're standing under a waterfall. It was so relaxing. My only small complaint is with the room size. I've heard that there are bigger rooms, but my husband and I must have gotten stuck with a small one. It was definitely the smallest hotel room I have been in. The bed took up most of the room. I would recommend upgrading and staying in a standard size room. Otherwise, great place to stay.
