<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/61268/MarriottTechDenv.jpg" class="top">Of all the New Year's Eve parties that took place in hotels on Saturday night, this might be the most action-packed one we've heard about so far. Spread out across two neighboring hotels, the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hyatt+Place+Denver+Tech+Center/ian/136639">Hyatt Denver Tech Center</a>'s "White Rose Gala" and the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Denver+Marriott+Tech+Center/ian/118351">Marriott Denver Tech Center</a>'s "Champagne Hotel" attracted thousands of midnight revelers. And for a while, it was smooth, champagne-fueled sailing. Until midnight struck, and over 3,000 inebriated Marriott guests tried heading back to their roomsonly to discover they were all locked out! According to <a href="http://overheadbin.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/01/01/9878326-chaos-as-guests-locked-out-of-rooms-at-denver-hotel">MSNBC</a>, a computer error apparently crashed the hotel's entire key card database, and though pretty much everyone was drunk as a bicycle, and ready to collapse into their

Here's how it works--arrive at the spa to check-in and instead of cucumber water, you'll get a chilled brew from a neighboring brewery put in your hands. Once that starts to kick in, you can begin your exfoliating Vichy shower experience. First, a barkeep, er, "treatment therapy provider", will mix a light rice Ale beer into the brewery's own malt. Then a full-body exfoliation is done on you using a malt scrub, followed

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/21888/monacodenverneww.jpg" class="top"> Thereve been some fun things going down (or up?) in the Denver hotel scene recently. The latest? The <a href='http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel/local/3198'>Hotel Monaco Denver's</a> total renovation of all 189 rooms. Theyve been done by interior designer Susan Caruso with chocolate and persimmon geometric carpeting, tangerine-colored damask drapes and walls in a camel colored embossed weave. And if thats not making any sense to you, just think sexy. Dont they look awesome? That headboards kinda gothicky, the carpet goes bam, those cowprint throws are awesome and the clashing colors blues and orange work strikingly well. We likey. A lot! A million miles better than how they <a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=204451948725&set=a.204450098725.128494.200150508725&theater">used to look</a>.

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/21888/fsdenver1.jpeg" class="top"> Its been nearly a month since <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Four+Seasons+Denver/local/1787">Four Seasons Denver</a> opened now, which is sufficient time for guests to take their thoughts of the place to <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g33388-d1845691-r86672707-Four_Seasons_Hotel_Denver-Denver_Colorado.html#CHECK_RATES_CONT">TripAdvisor</a>. Well, four of them, anyway. And theyre mixed. The good: the location (in between the 16th Street Mall and the Performing Arts Center), the large rooms and whats in them (TVs in the bathroom mirrors, marbled floors, other Four Seasony accoutrements). The bad: the pool is outdoors and therefore closed in winter. The spa and gym arent as good as those at the Ritz-Carlton according to one reviewer (or possible Ritz employee.) And two out of four reviewers had issues with service: dry cleaning not being delivered on time,

Inside the Cuteness That is Denver's Capitol Hill Mansion

The Snowlover Room

We loved our stay at the Holiday Inn Denver Airport but all good things must come to an end and all airports must eventually be left – so since we were there to see Denver proper, and horrified at room rates at most hotels ($200 upwards) we plumped for a B&B: The Capitol Hill Mansion. Our experiences of B&Bs in America haven’t been tip top, so we had a little trepidation as we called, but the guy on the phone sounded nice, so we took the plunge and booked the cheapest room available for $154.
