Among the Warwick's value features is a selection of oversized accommodations. Out of the 215 guest rooms, 60 have a separate living area, while the rest offer an expansive 400-500 square feet of space and private balconies. The hotel also has one of the only rooftop pools in Denver, and Randolph's, the on-site restaurant, is popular with local residents and tourists alike. There's good reason for that: the executive chef, Jesper Jonsson, is originally from Denmark and his heritage is apparent in such dishes as Tart Flamande, a thin-crust flatbread with créme fraiche, carmelized red onions and bacon. His house-made morning pastries are not to be missed (yes, there's danish). The hotel's location provides easy access to 17th Avenue with its trending food scene, as well as music venues on Colfax.
Recommended for Budget Hotels because: The Warwick has a superb location and many weekend and other deals that bring pricing down and value up.
