The Curtis
Downtown Denver is home to the Curtis, a boutique hotel based around the elements of American pop culture. Cartoons play in the lobby.

Each of the hotel's 13 floors has a fun theme, like Laugh Out Loud, One Hit Wonders, Sci-Fi, Chick Flick and Big Hair. The hotel's restaurant, called the Corner Office, offers a wide selection of food and drinks, and an impromptu game on the lobby Wii console is not out of the question at this place dedicated to fun and play. All rooms feature standard amenities, like a coffeemaker, hair dryer, television and wireless Internet. On-site parking is also available. Room rates start at $114 per night, and guests are allowed to have up to two pets stay with them for an additional fee.
