Hotel Indigo Denver Downtown - Union Station
Mid-price boutique-branded rooms four minutes' walk from the train hall
IHG's boutique line landed at 18th and Wewatta with a hotel that trades on the neighborhood's rail history, with interiors nodding to the freight yards and Victorian downtown that used to fill these blocks. It is a four-minute walk to Union Station, which means the A Line to the airport and the bus concourse, and roughly ten minutes to Coors Field. Reviewers keep mentioning the included breakfast and the bar prices, which is a polite way of saying it costs less than the Crawford or the Limelight without being any further from either.
Why go. The cheapest way to sleep inside the Union Station walking radius without giving up a bar downstairs.
Guests report the airport shuttle no-showing — take the A Line from Union Station instead, it runs every fifteen minutes.
