Hotel Clio is the luxury choice in Cherry Creek, the neighborhood of boutiques, galleries and restaurants southeast of downtown. The property listing describes rich earth tones with subtle gold accents, a lobby fireplace and marble floors. The hotel has 199 rooms with air conditioning, bathrobes, laptop-friendly workspaces, 65-inch HDTVs and in-room Lavazza coffee machines, plus mountain-view rooms and a one-bedroom Presidential Suite. The signature restaurant is Toro Latin Kitchen Lounge, serving Pan-Latin dishes with Japanese and Chinese influences for breakfast, brunch, dinner and light fare, with a ceviche bar, a patio, a happy hour and a weekend bottomless brunch. A daily complimentary Epicurean Moments offering is served in the lounge. The listing shows a spa in its photos, a ballroom, a garden, on-site designer stores and a 24-hour gym with Peloton, but no pool is mentioned. The property page title reads Hotel Clio, a Luxury Collection Hotel, while the page address still carries the name JW Marriott Denver Cherry Creek.
Cherry Creek suits a certain kind of trip: shopping, dining, spa time and a calmer pace than downtown. The Cherry Creek Shopping Center and the surrounding streets are close, and the listing names the Denver Botanic Gardens and the Denver Zoo as nearby attractions, along with the Denver Art Museum, Coors Field and Union Station within a short drive. A car or rideshare is useful for the museums and LoDo, but the neighborhood itself is walkable.
Guests rate the hotel 8.8 out of 10 from more than 800 reviews, which is excellent although a notch below some peers, so manage expectations on service and polish. The most useful room picks are the mountain-view categories, which add the Front Range to your stay. Families should note that children up to seventeen stay free in existing beds with up to three occupants, and cribs are free on request, though the hotel suits couples and business travelers better.
Fees and policies matter at this level. Valet parking and the full breakfast carry surcharges, pets are allowed in specific rooms at $150 per stay, and rollaway beds cost $20 per stay. Check-in begins at 4:00 pm and ends at 3:00 am, with express check-in available and a minimum check-in age of 21; check-out is before noon. Hotel Clio is best for couples and travelers who want a quiet, upscale base with a good restaurant and spa. Choose a LoDo or downtown hotel if you want to walk to Union Station and the ballpark. For a winter trip, the lobby fireplace and the lounge make an easy place to warm up after a day out.
