What it is

A private members club where hotel guests have full access, from the library to the rooftop pool. Among multiple restaurants, don’t miss the tech-free Parlor.

What it isn't

Open to the public. Everyone here is either a hotel guest or a member of the club, which means you’ll feel like a true insider.

What we think

Denver has no shortage of hipster hotels, as stylish as the Rocky Mountains are tall. But Clayton is different: a world within itself, and as exclusive as they come. Room options are simple yet chic, starting with the King Guestroom, where the 240 square foot quarters are stocked with blackout window treatments, a bar of locally curated tipples, zippy free wifi, a bedside wireless charging pad, and more. To truly indulge, we love the 735 square foot Silver Suite—from its separate living space, you can take in a panorama of mountain views that would satisfy any Colorado kingpin.

You're here because

It’s hard to find a rooftop pool in Denver, and this one is a stunner—complete with a waterside bar and restaurant that serves the best warm chocolate cookies in town.

The Moment

After one bite of your Galician octopus at Kini’s, the hotel’s wood fired Greek restaurant, you feel like you’re back on Santorini…if not for the snow swirling outside. The only thing better: knowing you have a chocolate pot de creme with sour cherry jam coming for dessert.
