The Spotlight on Best Western Denver Southwest

Relaxed Comfort Just Minutes from Red Rocks

Modern yet laid-back, Best Western Denver Southwest offers a cozy retreat in Lakewood, perfect for fans heading to one of Colorado’s iconic music venues. With rustic décor and dinosaur-themed touches, this 3-star hotel blends fun and functionality. Located just 11 miles from Red Rocks Amphitheatre, it’s a quiet and convenient base with easy access to both nature and nightlife.

The hotel features a sunny outdoor pool, hot tub, free WiFi, and a daily buffet breakfast. Rooms come with air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, coffee makers, and private bathrooms—everything you need to recharge after a night of music and dancing.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans appreciate the hotel’s proximity to Red Rocks Amphitheatre—only about a 20-minute drive away. It’s also praised for being quiet enough for those needing a solid night’s sleep after a loud show. With a 24-hour front desk and room service, late-night arrivals or post-gig cravings are no problem. Easy access to rideshares and highway routes makes getting to and from shows stress-free.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for an affordable launchpad to catch a show
  • Solo travelers on a music pilgrimage
  • Couples making a weekend out of a concert night
  • Fans wanting peace and quiet after the encore
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t want to skimp on amenities

Food and Drink Options

The hotel serves a buffet breakfast—perfect for slow mornings after a late night. While there’s no on-site full-service bar, you’ll find nearby eateries and casual spots within a short drive. Room service is available to satisfy late-night cravings, and the in-room fridge and coffee machine make it easy to stock up on snacks and caffeine.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t offer live music or a bar scene, you’re just a short drive from Lakewood’s local hangouts and Denver nightlife. Whether you're heading out for celebratory drinks or looking for a chill post-show wind-down, there’s plenty nearby.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff, clean rooms, and relaxing vibe. Reviews often mention how convenient the hotel is for visiting Red Rocks, and many appreciate the quiet location that feels like a true retreat after a high-energy concert. The outdoor pool and hot tub get bonus points for post-show relaxation.

Areas for Improvement

If you're looking for a hip scene or luxury dining, this spot might feel a bit basic. Some guests have noted that the décor is a little dated, and the location requires a short drive to most venues and restaurants.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a comfy, affordable, and quiet place to crash after a Red Rocks show, Best Western Denver Southwest hits all the right notes.

Passable

Liked: It was outdated. It's a dinosaur themed hotel for little kids, that's all. Just not geared for a family with teenagers.

Old, thin walls, hard bed.

Liked: Outdoor Pool was nice
Disliked: Beds are so hard. Couldn’t sleep at all. Walls are thin, we could hear entire conversations next door and in the halls. Bathroom is super small. No elevator so had to take the stairs ( which is fine BUT) they are old and LOUD, you could hear everyone walking up and down them in the night.

Good

Liked: The staff were wonderful. We got in late, and the room they had for us was not pet free. They upgraded us to a suite for the night. The next day, we moved to another room for the remaining 5 nights.
Disliked: There was no elevator to the second floor. The cleaning products they use are extremely strong. Breakfast was good, but it was the same every day.

Superb

Liked: Good location. Clean Facilities.
Disliked: Tricky to get to. The road to S.Vance was more like a lane way than a road.
