Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant open late, the hotel offers a free full breakfast every morning—ideal for recovering after a late night. You're also just a few blocks from a wide range of walkable eateries and bars, many of which stay open late. Room service isn’t 24/7, but coffee makers in every room mean you can always perk up before heading out.

Nightlife Options

You won’t find live music on-site, but you're right in the thick of Denver’s downtown nightlife. From craft cocktail lounges to buzzing brewery bars and clubs, there’s plenty to explore within walking distance. After the show, you can easily pop into a nearby bar or return to your room for a quiet night in.

What People Say

Guests love the hotel’s central location, clean and comfortable rooms, and the friendly staff. The complimentary breakfast is a big hit, especially with travelers heading out early or recovering from a long night. Many reviewers also highlight the easy access to downtown venues and public transport.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the hotel is a bit dated in style compared to trendier spots nearby. Parking is not included and can be a bit pricey, but that’s fairly standard in downtown Denver. Also, while the hotel itself is quiet, the area can be lively on weekends—light sleepers may want to pack earplugs just in case.

The Bottom Line

The Holiday Inn Express Denver Downtown is a comfortable, well-located base for concert-goers who want easy access to the music scene with the bonus of free breakfast and a quiet night’s rest.
