The Restaurant 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"

"The soaring, glass-enclosed lobby looks out on the 16th Street Mall, a mile-long pedestrian promenade lined with shops, restaurants and entertainment"

"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"

"The lobby at the Tower section across the street is a monastery by comparison, offering little more than a sandwich and soup shop, and a backdoor entry to popular Katie Mullen's Irish Restaurant and Pub, which faces 16th Street and is appropriately publike with its dark-wood wainscoting and hardwood furnishings, yet is built on an industrial scale, with the largest patio on the 16th Street Mall, often full of revelers"
