What guests think

Across recent reviews, The Ritz-Carlton, Denver earns strong praise for warm, attentive service and comfortable, often spacious rooms, while recurring critiques note dated furnishings in places, intermittent maintenance issues, and limits or disruptions to on-site amenities.

Cleanliness feedback is mixed, ranging from very clean stays to reports of dust, stains, and missed housekeeping. Dining experiences vary; some enjoyed timely room service and good meals, while others encountered undercooked or overpriced dishes, very slow service, and early closures or limited offerings during construction. The downtown setting is convenient for 16th Street and sports venues, though a few guests felt the surrounding area was less appealing. Overall, it delivers an urban luxury stay with occasional rough edges.

Probably the worst Ritz Carlton I have ever stayed at. Only a single elevator worked. Service was bad. We were the only people in the restaurant and it took me asking for a waiter to get service. Door staff weren’t helpful and preferred watching the Broncos. Overall a poor experience and it’s disappointing considering I pay the premium to avoid these issues. Look elsewhere when in Denver.

Ritz wouldn't honor our hotels.com pre-purchased valet. So we double paid for that. Then there is no refrigerator in our room (special diet needs) because of some upgrade. They bring us up a broken one which ruins our food and meds Otherwise hotel lives up to Ritz standards

Utilized a suite for our family and it was very spacious and comfortable. They brought us a fridge and were extremely accommodating. Valet is easy and helpful, and overall had a great time. Highly recommend. You could tell the hotel is a well-oiled machine.

This Ritz Carlton was very disappointing. My room was not very clean, finger stains were all over the closet handled, stains were on the wall and the carpet needed some cleaning. This hotel also doesn’t have a swimming pool. I have stayed at other Ritz hotels, this one is far from Ritz Carlton standard.

Not up to par for the price you're paying at a Ritz. Wrappers in the couch that wasn't folded out / made up when we arrived, numerous issues with service and accuracy of orders at breakfast, etc. Valet staff was fantastic though. Hope they make some needed improvements.

Service was excellent. Front desk and maids were friendly. We stayed in a suite and it wasn't that nice for the price. It was a glorified Marriott. Relatively clean. We did have some noise above us (we were on the 2nd floor). Not sure if there was a housekeeping room on the floor above but we heard a lot of dragging of things and banging around long after 10pm. We ate at Elway's on the first night and it was ok. My salmon was undercooked and again way overpriced. I wouldn't eat there again.

The staff were accomodating with our stay for check-in and check-out due to the weather and flight changes. We felt at home and welcomed by all staff. Despite hotel being in the process of remodeling and some heating issues, we would definitely book again here due to staff and accommodations. Jackson 5

After an unexpected rate increase at the Four Seasons—an additional $200 per night just to switch from a king bed to two queens—I decided to move to The Ritz-Carlton, and it turned out to be the best choice. Not only did I receive superior luxury at the same rate, but the service was also impeccable. The staff were genuinely kind, helpful, and welcoming, making the transition seamless. From the elegantly appointed rooms to the thoughtful amenities, The Ritz-Carlton delivered an elevated experience in every way. Spacious accommodations, refined hospitality, and a dedication to guest comfort set it apart, proving that true luxury isn't just about price—it's about how you're treated.
