Destinations / North America

Imagine a hotel where there’s a themed room for every one of your childhood-favorite fandoms. Denver’s The Curtis Hotel might come to mind. This downtown Denver property features a pop culture theme throughout, with each floor boasting its own theme — and rooms scattered throughout the property even take this “theme-ing” to a whole new level.

There’s the Barbie room, for example, with its life-size Barbie mural featuring Barbies from throughout the ages. The Star Trek-themed room likewise features a huge mural of all your favorite characters. Prefer to play with video games rather than Barbies? The video game room might be for you. There, you’ll find nods to a variety of gaming franchises, as well as traditional game options, with a stack of boardgames on tap and an arcade machine in the corner.

 

Other hyper-themed rooms throughout the hotel include a knock-knock joke-themed room, an I Love Lucy-themed room, a Ghostbusters-themed room, a comic book-themed room, a Talladega Nights-themed room and more. Want to upgrade to a suite? You’ll find themes there, too, with themed suites including the property’s Rolling Stones suite and KISS suite.

Many riverside cities offer scenic cruises, and some Baltic or Mediterranean ports have daytrips to nearby islands or coastal attractions. In several cities you can cruise the canals, and in Switzerland you can spend a day cruising on Lake Geneva, with sightseeing stops in lakeside towns.

Interior Upgrades Begin Rolling Out Across United Fleet

United flyers are sure to notice these enhancements from the moment they step on board: Each new or updated plane sports remodeled seats, seatback entertainment screens for everyone, Bluetooth connectivity and more, all adding up to a better experience on every journey.
