1. The Art Hotel, Denver, Co.

Reflecting the cultural vibe that emanates throughout the Mile High City, this boutique hotel offers art lovers a wealth of artistic opportunities. Upon arrival, guest are treated to Leo Villareal’s undulating and never-repeating art installation created from 22,000 LED lights in the Portico Gallery. Works of art can be found in onsite galleries, in public spaces, on every floor and in each guest room. Embark on a self-guided tour of the hotel collection with the aid of complimentary art brochures or sign up for free guided tours offered every Saturday.
