The Bar/Lounge at Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel

"Five restaurants serve a variety of tastes—the Irish pub Katie Mullen's ($$), the breakfast and fine-dining spot 15/Fifty Restaurant ($$–$$$), the beer-oriented Yard House ($$), the casual soup-focused eatery Zoup! ($), and the meet-and-greet bar that finds locals rubbing elbows with out-of-towners called 16Mix Lounge ($$)—and both the fitness center and heated outdoor pool are inviting"

"This sizeable, somewhat anonymous but very comfortable hotel, right on the Sixteenth Street Mall, is used largely by business travellers – so weekend room rates can be a real bargain, especially as a “secret unnamed hotel” on sites like Expedia"

"Amenities include a 24-hour fitness center, several on-site bars and restaurants, a chic business center, and a luxurious heated, rooftop pool that’s open year-round"

"Next to it is Link@Sheraton lounge, a communal cafe-inspired spot with a circular design wrapping around a handful of Internet stations"
