PB hotel design editorial

Anchoring the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, a seven-story building clad in coursed stone and warm stucco gives the Benson Hotel & Faculty Club an address unlike any other in the Denver metro area — a full-service hotel conceived not for the downtown business traveler but for the academic and medical community surrounding one of the country's largest health science centers. The exterior massing, visible in the images at dusk, layers rough-cut stone at the podium level against a smoother upper facade, with a rooftop pergola structure and a projecting glazed stair tower providing vertical punctuation. The Common Good restaurant, signposted at street level beneath a yellow awning, anchors the ground floor as a neighborhood destination. Inside, the interiors draw on a register somewhere between a traditional faculty club and a contemporary boutique hotel. The lobby deploys cognac leather wingback chairs, dark wood coffered ceilings, iron shelving units dressed with ceramic vessels, and large botanical and citrus-grove paintings — materials that signal settled institutional warmth rather than transient hospitality. Guest rooms split between two moods: one leans into a masculine palette of navy wainscoting, brass-fitted iron bedheads, tufted plaid armchairs, and an Oushak-style rug anchoring the floor; another turns toward botanical wallcovering that wraps walls and ceiling in a sage-and-cream floral pattern, paired with dark hardwood floors and floral upholstery that carry the garden reference through consistently.

"This property is a gem. I booked this hotel in order to be close to the Anschutz Medical Center at the University of Colorado, while my daughter was having surgery. All I expected was a clean room, comfortable bed and to be nearby...walking distance. I can say that I was totally surprised by this beautiful, well managed and very luxurious property. For starters the decor is lovely, well designed and creates a warmth with it's many fireplaces and cozy seating areas. Every request was granted! The staff from Valet, Bar, Restaurants (and btw- excellent food to be had at their restaurant), Front desk were beyond accommodating. Patrice Robinson the Front Office Supervisor could not have been more helpful. She even arranged for me to get a walking map to the hospital so I didn't need to depend on my cell phone. Finding a place to set up a special meal also was no problem, when I explained my eating restrictions. Hoping I have no reason to return to Aurora ...certainly not because of needing the hospital. But for sure I highly recommend the Bensen Hotel and do ask for the Medical Rate if you have a family member at ANSHUTZ. ENJOY!"

"I cannot say enough good things about the Benson hotel. I moved from another hotel and stored my luggage until a room was available. When a room opened they literally ran across the lobby to catch me and get me checked in before my Lyft arrived. Then they took my luggage to my room and hung my coat up in the closet. Every member of staff was kind and went above and beyond to ensure my stay excellent. Beautiful lobby with areas to sit and read or visit with others. Well appointed room and a huge shower. The attached restaurant Common Good was a great place for brunch."

"With the exception of the outdated TV cable system, the rooms and atmosphere give the impression of a very high end hotel - which is nice considering how affordable it is. Despite being in Aurora, the hotel is on-campus at the university and feels very safe. The staff we interacted with (Patrice, Meredith, Rick and others) were all super helpful."

"I stayed at this hotel due to connivence to where I need to go and could do so walking. That was a plus. The ambiance was good in the hotel lobby, and the rooms were very nice as well as clean. It was quiet for the most part. My lower review is due to the hospitality desk, or check-in, check-out. It was the coldest reception I’ve received at check-in and not friendly at check-out either with a different person. On the way to my room, I realized that I was not advised of the wifi password. I mentioned that to someone on the elevator and she said - no, I wasn’t advised either. We figured it out, as it was written on the room key envelop. I was not impressed with that staff; especially at a higher-end facility. Also, 3 hours before I checked out, the TV would not turn on, and the electrical outlets did not work, so could not charge my devices. I checked out and sat in the lobby to do that. However, at the Common Good Restaurant the staff was very friendly, attentive, and the food is good."

"This is a beautiful hotel, with excellent service, in close proximity to a conference I was attending. This was my second stay and I will never go anywhere else when in Denver."
