Kimpton Hotel Monaco Denver by IHG
Design hotel with a nightly wine reception
About this hotel
Kimpton Hotel Monaco sits five minutes' walk from the Colorado Convention Center, built around a design identity that shows in details like plush bathrobes, a 50-inch flat-screen TV in every room, and luxurious en suite bathrooms. Panzano, the hotel's own Italian restaurant, serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner alongside a bar for a cocktail or draft beer, giving the property a genuine dining identity rather than a generic hotel restaurant. A complimentary evening wine reception runs most nights, paired with a 24-hour fitness centre for guests keeping up a routine around a Broncos trip. The Denver Art Museum sits five minutes' drive away, and Empower Field at Mile High, home of the Denver Broncos, is a ten-minute drive out, positioning the hotel as a downtown design base rather than a stadium-side stay.

Our take
This suits fans who want a genuinely upscale, design-forward stay downtown and don't mind a ten-minute drive to Empower Field in exchange. The evening wine reception and Panzano give the hotel real character beyond its rooms. It's not the pick for anyone chasing the shortest possible stadium walk, since every option closer to Empower Field itself is a budget condo rather than a full-service hotel.
- Attend the complimentary evening wine reception before dinner at Panzano rather than booking elsewhere downtown.
- Plan for a ten-minute drive or rideshare to Empower Field, since this hotel trades stadium proximity for downtown character.
- Use the 24-hour fitness centre either side of a Broncos game to keep up a normal routine while travelling.

Why guests love itA couple celebrating an anniversary chose Kimpton Hotel Monaco over a stadium-side condo for a Broncos weekend, enjoying the evening wine reception and dinner at Panzano before the short drive out to Empower Field the next day. The plush bathrobes and design details made the stay feel like more than just a place to sleep between football and downtown sightseeing.
