Hotel Born - Denver

What is your Rewards Club status? Spire Ambassador, I think. The website still lists me as Inner Circle as well, but I highly doubt i requalified. Either way, my Kimpton stays since the IT transition last year, even when I had IC, it went unrecognized.

Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay? Yes, very

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive? King Deluxe (lowest) on points, morning of stay. Within 2-3 hours of booking my reservation changed to an Alpine King spa, which is the top room below the suites.

How are the rooms? Fantastic. Stayed here 2 years ago, right after opening. We are pretty sure it was the exact same room. If it wasn't, we were just a floor up or down. They don't feel like they've aged a bit. Big, nice views .

[If you are Spire and Inner Cricle]
How was your complimentary welcome amenity? Didn't get one. See above.

Did you raid the minibar? If so, what did you take? Single Coors banquet.

Were you offered a Chef's Taste at Dinner, If so, what did you receive? forgot to ask.

Did you use the free spa credit / did the hotel participate? If so, was it a good value? Nope

What was good and what was bad?

Location is about as good as it gets downtown. We took the train to the airport the morning we left. The hotel is at the end of the platform. Very quiet for a downtown hotel.

Great staff. Wine hour included red/white, 2 local beers and spiked hot cider.

Bartenders at citezen rail were top notch.

No bad, except that I'm convinced IC status is dead .Boy do I miss it.

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return? Big upgrade on an award stay?? Check. I think we went through a bottle of wine at happy hour and got another for the social password. Add the raid the bar and we probably got $30 worth of value just from free stuff. Love this hotel, location, and the design. Look forward to coming back.

Side note: we live less than 5 miles away .We use this hotel for date nights downtown or as an alternative to staying at the Westin for next day flights due to the convenience of the train.
