PB hotel design editorial

At the corner of 14th Street and Arapahoe in Denver's Central Business District, a nine-storey Renaissance Revival brick tower built in 1911 as the Denver Gas and Electric Building carries its original terracotta detailing — rusticated limestone base, corbelled cornice, pilastered bays rising through warm red brick — with the easy authority of a building that has always known what it is. Hotel Teatro, which took over the structure in 1997, was among the early projects that demonstrated Denver's appetite for adaptive reuse before the city's current development boom made such conversions routine. The building's civic confidence, rare for a utility company headquarters, made it a natural fit for hospitality. Inside, the interiors navigate a tension between the structure's Edwardian formality and a warmer, more residential sensibility. The lobby lounge arranges cognac leather sofas, high-backed linen wingchairs, and iron chandelier clusters around a limestone fireplace framed by floor-to-ceiling navy shelving stacked with books and curiosities — closer to a well-edited private club than a conventional hotel lobby. Guest rooms carry the palette forward in charcoal and taupe, with deep-buttoned navy leather headboards and brass accent tables on patterned carpet, the original windows generous enough to frame downtown views on three sides. The restaurant leans further into material warmth: wide-plank oak floors, stacked firewood as architectural element, cage-pendant lanterns over banquette seating upholstered in a bold medallion print. The hotel holds 110 rooms across its nine floors.

Hotel Teatro Denver Reviews

"We first stayed at Hotel Teatro several years ago with our dog, Meg, when we attended a show at the Buell Theater (one block away). Our pre-theater dinner at The Nickel was wonderful with excellent food and service. We all were treated so well and Hotel Teatro is especially dog friendly. We enjoyed our stay so much that when we returned to Denver we booked a Monday night stay last week so we could easily go to a Colorado Rockies game that night and attend a Denver Broncos training camp session early the next morning. We were able to check in early on Monday and had a lovely corner Queen bed room with a balcony. Everything was perfect in the room, size, temperature, view and the bathroom was a large size with separate tub and rain shower. We enjoyed a complimentary glass of chilled Prosecco as we waited for our free Lyft to Coors Field (arranged by the front desk, give them 10-15 minutes heads up for when you want to depart depending on the time of day). We had planned to walk the 15 minutes to the field, but it was 97 degrees in Denver at 5pm that day, so we enjoyed the 8 minute air-conditioned drive. The next morning we used our $10 nickel token to enjoy two delicious mochas on our way out the door. Unfortunately, we did not have time to order from the breakfast menu. We again enjoyed our stay so much we have booked another night this Friday for the Denver Broncos game. It’s a 25 minutes walk to Mile High Stadium, but we may just take advantage of the free car service again. Hotel Teatro is one of the best boutique hotels we have stayed at and we highly recommend it. The staff is extremely customer-focused, the rooms are beautiful and comfortable and the location is excellent."

"At first glance, this seems like a nice hotel, but it is very poorly run. It starts with the $67 PER DAY parking fee. The surrounding neighborhood is not somewhere you would realistically want to park on the street, so you are essentially stuck paying it. The staff was consistently confused. We were given tokens at check-in and told they were worth $10 toward breakfast, despite having already paid for breakfast in our package. The cafe then told us they were only worth $5. We were also handed information stating the hotel offered free transportation within one mile, only to be told later that service did not exist. Those things are frustrating, but the cleanliness is the real problem. The hotel is visibly rundown, with dirty, scratched walls, doors, and elevators throughout. Worse, guests are expected to personally request housekeeping EVERY DAY. COVID is long behind us. Hotel rooms, sheets, towels, bathrooms, and floors should be cleaned daily unless a guest declines service. The floors were filthy and grimy, and the restaurant floors were so black with residue from dirty mops that it made us seriously question the cleanliness of the kitchen. But the absolute worst was a trail of dried diarrhea outside the women’s public restroom that remained there for TWO DAYS. That tells you everything you need to know about the cleanliness standards and management of this hotel. We will absolutely never stay here again."

"Spacious, quiet room, friendly staff, convenient location. Not sure how I feel about having to use valet parking, but it worked well enough."

"I haven’t left a review for a hotel in years. I am compelled to write a review after our experience. First we got a text from the hotel saying that the text could be used for questions about the reservation. I immediately replied with a question and never received an answer. No big deal, i can get past that. We arrived at the hotel at 3:55. We were told they couldn’t check us in because as the reservation notes. Check in is at 4. Oh. Ok. We’ll get a coffee at the coffee shop 10’ away. Except. No one there. The same guy from the desk came over and made a coffee for us and said he was sorry, our room wouldn’t be ready for a while. Oh. Ok. Traveled all day, arrive at the prescribed check in time so we could rest before our evening out. Some finished our coffees and went back to the front desk at 4:30. Still not ready, sold out the night before, could catch up. The lady next to me was upset and get comped a free meal at the attached restaurant. Guess I should’ve gotten upset, but was too tired from traveling to bother. So we went to the attached restaurant and got a drink while we wait. Drink arrives and the guy comes over and says our room is ready. No apology, no regret, just a heads up. Right on. Our room was small, but you expect that at older hotels. The rooms was behind the elevator. Every up and down was heard. In thr shower, the shower valve popped out when activating the shower. Cool. We checked out Saturday morning. We went down to get breakfast, walked past front desk. No good morning. No hello, just pecking away at the computer. We stand at the breakfast spot for quite some time. I go to the front desk and ask if we are in the right place to order. She just says, yes, there. No eye contact. Just points. We go wait. Another couple shows up. They wait too and eventually just sit. My wife goes back and explains we are heading to a flight and need to order breakfast. She scoffs and rolls her eyes and disappears into the kitchen. She returns with the overworks lady running the breakfast. No apology. No explanation. Just heads back and pecks away on computer. The lady working the breakfast was apologetic, kind and helpful. She was great. Breakfast was fine. Not great. Went out and talked to valet about a ride to the train station. He too, was kind and helpful. He told me that the front desk would comp me an uber. No thanks. I didn’t want to interact with her again. I’ll book my own. We did check out with her. Told her about the bathroom. No acknowledgment. Just gave us our receipt. I wouldn’t have left this review, I would have rather talked to the manager. But after emailing front desk and being cc’d with the manager. No reply. I also filled out their review they sent me and asked to be contacted. Nothing. So here I am. It’s too bad. Cute place. Great location. Wished we would have loved it. STAY AWAY FROM HERE."

"The worst hotel experience I’ve ever had. Small rooms, uncomfortable beds, and completely outdated interior. To make matters worse, the rooms AC wouldn’t get below 75 degree, and the “remedy” to this was to bring in an old, moldy, dirty water-squirting portable AC unit. For a hotel that is marketing itself as unique and upscale (aka overpriced), they are doing an awful job. Would much prefer any basic chain over this. Steer clear."
