So let's get high. You know what I'm saying, And

a little bit about accommodations, and that's what I want

(01:30):
to do. We're gonna talk a little We're gonna talk
a little bit about some comfort inconvenience of the mid
range hotels in that happened to be in Denver. And
then I want to go and do a very inclusive
list of high in luxury hotels in the entire state

(01:51):
of Colorado. So as far as Denver's concerned, the mid
range hotels and in what's the best way to stay
there's a compelling blend of comfort, convenience, and affordability, a
sweet spot for travelers seeking the balance between budget and luxury.

(02:13):
These establishments often provide a higher level of service and
amenities than budget options without the hefty price tag of
luxury hotels. Their locations are typically well chosen, offering easy
access to Denver attractions, whether it's the vibrant downtown core,
the cultural districts, or the scenic foothills. One significant advantage

(02:35):
of choosing mid range hotels is the inclusion of amenities
that enhance the overall travel experience. Many offer complementary breakfasts,
a significant cost saver. It's actually a lot more than
you think, especially for families or longer stays. This often
includes a selection of hot and cold items, cereals, fruit pastries,

(03:01):
kind of get your day going, fuel in your day,
you know, for all of your exploration. Others might provide
fitness centers, allowing you to maintain your workout routine even
while on the road. All on site pool particularly appealing
during the warmer months. Maybe it's an indoor pool, so
it offers a really nice just rest, you know, from

(03:25):
Denver sometimes unpredictable weather. Business travelers might appreciate the availability
of meeting rooms or business centers equipped with printers and
high speed internet, ensuring productivity remains uninterrupted. So that's always
a good thing. So location is key when selecting a hotel,
and mid range options often provide strategic placements. Consider situated

(03:48):
near Union Station, a transportation hub providing easy access to
light rail, buses and Amtrak services. Staying within walking distances
of the central location allows you to explore much to
put downtown Denver on foot, saving on transportation costs and
allowing you to soak in the city's atmosphere at your
own pace. Alternatively, hotels situated near Sixteenth Street Mall, a

(04:12):
pedestrianized shopping and entertainment district, offer a vibrant and bustling
environment with a numerous dining and shopping opportunities right at
your doorstep. For those wishing to explore Denver's cultural scene,
consider hotels near museums or art galleries. The Denver Art
Museum and the Clifford Steel Museum, for instance, are within

(04:34):
walking distance of several mid range hotels, enhancing the convenience
of your cultural expiration. Similarly, hotels near the vibrant Rhino
Art District, known for its street air and burgeoning creative scene,
for a unique and immersive experience, placing you at the
heart of Denver's artistic energy. So they're doing some work
