Mile-High Luxury When The Ritz-Carlton, Denver (www. ritzcarlton.com) opened in early January, it instantly raised the bar for luxury travelers seeking pampering in the Mile High City. Set just a few blocks from Denver’s lively Lower Downtown (LoDo) district, the hotel is also close to the pedestrian 16th Street Mall and the Denver Performing Arts Complex. What we love: Standard rooms are an average 550 square feet in size (King Room, shown below) and have calf-height automatic light sensors for those who walk around in the middle of the night. Every guest room has a two-sink bathroom with an oversized tub, separate shower and Bulgari toiletries. While all rooms have city views, guests in rooms ending in 19 or 20 also may be able to see the sun setting behind the mountains. The 47 suites vary in size up to the 3,000square-foot Ritz-Carlton Suite, which has a living room, dining room, media room and large bedroom that wraps around one side of the building. The two 2,500-square-foot luxury suites also have separate living and dining rooms, while the deluxe suites have a parlor area off the bedroom. Suites ending in 05 and 15 have an extra half-bathroom and are slightly larger. On weekdays, guests can hitch a ride in the hotel’s Rolls-Royce Phantom anywhere within a five-mile radius from 7 to 11 a.m. and 6 to 10 p.m. For VIP room reservations, contact Jenna Mousley, the local reservations supervisor (jenn.l.mousley@ ritzcarlton.com; 303-312-3832). — Lois Friedland THE LUXURY OF BEING YOURSELF® w w w. a u t o v e n t u r e . c o m Private Car Shore Excursions World Wide Sightseeing and Shore Excursions are Safer and More Enjoyable with a Private Car and Driver No Waiting!
