What guests think

At Patterson Inn, travelers consistently praise the beautifully restored historic mansion, personable staff, and standout made-to-order breakfasts, while also appreciating its quiet Capitol Hill setting within easy walking distance of museums, the Capitol, and downtown attractions.

Guests like the intimate B&B feel, unique themed rooms with very comfortable beds, and the cozy on-site tavern. Common caveats include limited on-site parking with occasional use of a nearby lot, stairs to upper floors (no elevator), and a few reports of warmer third-floor rooms or minor cosmetic issues. Expect a charming, quiet stay in a character-filled historic setting.

Our stay at The Patterson Inn was wonderful! The staff was welcoming and very professional at every level. The adjacent pub, also owned by The Patterson, was the perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine after our day at the Denver Art Museum. Thank you especially to the breakfast chef, immediately likeable, for caring about the details of our experience. We will return!

The Patterson Inn is a true gem. It is a lovely small inn (only 9 guest rooms) in an old mansion in the Capital Hill area of Denver. The rooms are all different, very clean, nicely appointed, and extremely comfortable. A tasty breakfast is cooked to order in the morning. The entire staff is incredible. They are all friendly and helpful. The owner is on the premises and available to chat. There is a bonus in an attached bar that is like an old "speakeasy". I highly recommend the Patterson Inn!

The historic building was very cool! Some minor cosmetic things liked chipped paint, but you can tell the building is cared for. All the staff was amazing. Very limited parking so be prepared to potentially walk a bit to the building.

The Patterson is a wonderful old property in a very nice area of Denver. The staff is efficient and friendly and the on-site tavern with outdoor seating is an extra. Location is great, close to downtown, parks, museums, etc. I plan to be staying there again in the near future.

Nice historic property but small with limited services. No heat in bathroom that I could see, was cold in the morning and it is only October. Reasonably good location, but parking lot is 1 block away and not lit, very dark, did not want to leave my car there.

Amazing property, great staff, super location. We loved the personal attention from the staff, from the owner who greeted us on our late arrival, to the gent who made breakfast, to the mixologist in the speakeasy-feel bar. Our room, the "Library", was themed like the Clue board game. We enjoyed the easter-egg hunt finding the rope, revolver, knife, wrench, etc., scattered around, and that the books over the headboard were cleverly arranged by color corresponding to those of the game characters. We're only sorry we didn't stay longer.

Beautiful bed and breakfast type inn in a fabulous historic home in Capitol Hill Area. We crated in the Cheshire room which had an Alice in Wonderland theme. Parking is hit or miss only 3 or so spaces on site or you have to use a satellite lot a few blocks away. Luckily we were always able to park at the inn.

Claw foot tub. Kind desk people. Good breakfast. Left on early flight and chef left coffee and muffins for me. Comfortable. Very quiet. Not a big box hotel with expensive parking. Parking at the Patterson Inn is free—nice small bar, 12 Spirits—in hotel. Nice company and conversation there and a great grilled cheese sandwich.

We had an excellent stay. If you are looking for someplace to stay that isn't just another typical hotel, this is the place to go. The staff was extremely nice, each room has a different theme and are tastefully decorated. The bed was very comfortable and everything was very clean. The breakfast in the morning was freshly made to order and delicious. We were in town celebrating a birthday so they provided complementary champagne as well as a couple drinks at their bar. We would not hesitant to stay here again in the future, and likely will be coming back soon.

We booked an anniversary stay at the Historic Patterson Inn. The building was very secure and the backdrop was historic downtown Denver. The place was very charming and clean. The staff was very professional and friendly. They gave us free drink vouchers and offered free champagne as a complimentary gift for our anniversary celebration. There is a lounge downstairs with a very friendly mixologist! The drinks were delicious and creative. The room had very soft beds and clean sheets. The bathtub was amazingly roomy with great water pressure. They even supplied robes to use that were extra comfortable. I almost bought one but couldnt handle the pricetag. It seemed very private and I didnt even hear another person the whole time! Included was a delicious breakfast, your choice of savory or sweet. I had a potato skillet topped with caramelized onion. Delightful!

We stayed at The Patterson the night of our wedding reception because I have ALWAYS wanted to sleep in a canopy bed and the Prague Room has the most beautiful bed! We didn't even know about the 27 foot high ceilings above it until we walked in the room! Stunning! It just made everything feel more special. The bathroom is also stunning and so clean (I felt sorry for whoever has to clean those beautiful glass walls but was SO glad that they keep it so nice). Also, we didn't know about the ghost stories before arriving and, strangely, as we drifted off to sleep my wife said, "Do you hear those people talking?" I heard nothing. She said, "It sounds like a man and a woman talking." And then a few moments later she said, "I also hear muffled voices like a party." She said, "It must be people out on the street" but I remember drifting off to sleep thinking it was strange I couldn't hear any voices. The next morning, at our delicious breakfast, we learned that others have heard similar things from Room No. 9 (which was right next to ours). Strange and kind of cool!

Had a great weekend stay with my sister. Stayed in the Cheshire room which was spacious. We arrived early (noon) and were just going to get a parking pass to park our car and then walk downtown until check-in time, but since the room was ready, they accommodated us checking in early. Staff were all very nice, including Brandon and Jake and their delicious breakfasts. Easy walk to museums and Civic Center Park. Would stay here again!

I have traveled many places. The Patterson Inn has been the best experience ever!! I received a call a week prior to my check in to go over any personal requests, making breakfast reservations, and to finalize my stay. First off, the Inn is stunning, from the unique charm and character of the building to the personable care and concern of the employees. Brandon (the Patterson Inn’s personal chef) is amazing taking note of any dietary restrictions, so don’t miss breakfast!! I’m not a breakfast girl, but oh my…he goes above and beyond! The 12 Spirits Tavern is a charming and comfortable bar. Enjoy reading a book in the courtyard to entering the tavern to meet up with friends for drinks before starting your evening. The Patterson is close to everything in walking distance. I have made it my agenda to stay in every room since they all have their own character and charm. I stayed in the smallest room, the Antoinette. The room was beautifully large with an amazingly comfortable bed and large bathroom. I can’t stress how the owner, Chris has kept the beauty and splendor of this building, while going above and beyond for his guests comfort on their stay. Until we meet again, Thank you for a marvelous stay!!

We had to leave earlier and missed breakfast to head to the airport and they sent us home with muffins. As we were loading up to leave, my wife said "We are staying here next time" and i agree. We definitely recommend staying here.

DO NOT SKIP THE BREAKFAST. Brandon is the chef and he knows exactly what he is doing. You're robbing yourself if you don't start your day with his creations. Overall, this place is a total treat to stay at. It's easily an 11 out of 10.
