We Find Denver NYE Alternatives to The Ritz-Carlton's $1,300 Rooms

Looking to say goodbye to the craptastic year that was 2009 and still in need of a hotel room somewhere? We've already told you where to book in Miami, New York and the important timezones but we'll be hitting up more cities today for New Year's Eve. Did we miss a city? Want a better deal? Let us know and we'll help you out.

Hotels in the Mile High City can get away with charging mile high prices on New Year's Eve, what with an influx of skiers, families on holiday, and 20-somethings hoping to reenact party scenes from The Real World: Denver.

In our quest to book a stay near downtown festivities, which include two showy fireworks displays, we found that many prime hotels are sold-out. The Ritz-Carlton has space to spare, but it'll cost you at least $1,200 for a Luxury Suite, one of only two room types we saw available.

Just as we thought we were irrevocably screwed, persistent sleuthing unearthed two major hotels packages worth jumping on now. Find out what rooms are still up for grabs after the jump.

The Hotel Monaco—a favorite during 2008's Democratic National Convention—has a classic NYE deal that includes this buffet of goodies for the night:

[D]eluxe accommodations, champagne and party favors in your room, a champagne reception in the Living Room Lobby from 4pm until 7pm, valet parking for one (1) vehicle, New Year’s Day Brunch in Panzano Restaurant for the number of people indicated on booking, and a 2pm late check-out."

That late check-out time will come in handy as you come ambling out of the elevator in need of coffee and hangover-appropriate sustenance. We did find open rooms starting at—gulp—$380 on our search, but didn't find the package listed on their "Specials" page, so try calling the hotel directly to ensure that the price quoted online includes the champagne extras, et cetera.

Meanwhile, the Warwick's package has a lot to live up to, deeming itself "Irresistible." Shameless self-promotion, to be sure, but it does include a lot: "Classic" accommodations, a New Year's Eve dinner for two at Randolph's Restaurant, brunch at Randolph's, and late check-out at 3:00 PM the next day. Again, hangover-tastic news for enthused party goers. A Deluxe Doubles or Deluxe King room starts at $349.

Chaser not included.
