Arrowhead Ski Area Tours

It was really pretty and clean

In the heart of the Queen City of the Plains, The Curtis operates like a technicolor trading post for the modern pioneer. For a gay couple looking to pitch their tent and celebrate Pride Month, this downtown Denver outpost offers a welcome as wide and inclusive as the Western horizon. The location is pure gold country—hitched right at the center of the city's finest theaters and saloons, making it an enviable basecamp for any urban expedition. The true heroes of this camp are the staff. They greet you not with stiff formality, but with the genuine, warm hospitality of seasoned trail companions. They have infused the property with a hyper-creative, spirited atmosphere where the decor plays by its own wild rules. Each floor is a frontier of quirky pop-culture whimsy, guaranteed to shake the dust off the most road-weary traveler. However, even the most beloved landmarks face the elements. A keen-eyed scout will notice that the camp is showing the scuffs of a well-traveled path; the spirited interiors feel a bit weathered and are due for a seasonal refresh. Furthermore, those hoping to wash away the trail dust will find the property lacks a classic watering hole—there is no pool, sauna, locker room, or spa facilities to be found. Yet, like a trusted pack mule, what it lacks in luxury it doubles down on in character. For its unparalleled location, phenomenal crew, and unapologetic joy, The Curtis earns a solid four out of five stars. It remains a wonderfully vibrant sanctuary.

The Brown Palace is truly a timeless experience showcasing beautiful architecture and preserved history. Most staff were virtuous. Concierge not very helpful. Variety of restaurants on site. Definitely worth a visit:)
