Denver is home to 200 traditional and historic parks, 85 miles of paved bike trails and easy access to the Rocky Mountains.

After a day of exploring, guests have complimentary access to a suite with Therabody wellness products to soothe sore muscles.

Delicious Bites

Twenty-eight of Denver’s restaurants are recognized by the Michelin Guide. Guests staying at the Limelight can easily get to four of them with a short, one-block walk.
