Wanna Meet for Krueger Cocktails at The Coroner's Office?
Still looking for a last-minute hotel room for Halloween? The Curtis Denver has a year-round scare factor with their 13th floor--aka the "Dun Dun Dunnnn!" floor--but this year they aren't going to let the holiest of haunted holidays pass them by without doing anything special.
Their Nightmare on Curtis Street package includes a room on the 13th floor, a "Get Ready for Freddy" goodie bag with a flashlight and a sleep mask, two Krueger Cocktails or Bloody Marys at the hotel's Corner Office, which will be renamed the gruesome Coroner's Office this weekend. Guests who make it through the night will also get a complimentary breakfast.
Room rates start at $149 a night. The package is only available for this weekend, obvs. Book through the hotel's website using code PKGHL.

Denver's Oxford Hotel Hosts December Tea For Dolls
It used to be that you go into an American Girl store (one of the few) and get afternoon tea in the store's little restaurant with your doll. We're pretty sure that doesn't exist anymore, so how about reliving those old glory days at Denver's Oxford Hotel, which hosts an annual "Doll's Tea Party" for moms and dads, daughters and their dolls.
This year's special day will be December 6, and we recommend making reservations soon. Of course the hotel is offering a hotel package for guests who may not live in Denver, or just want to prolong the experience as a family event. The combination with a night at the hotel begins at only $200 and includes one adult and one child's ticket to the tea, stay in a superior room, and milk and cookies delivered at turn-down.

Bid On eBay to Win The Entire Curtis Hotel For New Year's Eve
If hotels were people, The Curtis Hotel in Denver would most definitely not be a wallflower. A slightly kooky, always-energetic boss, or your life-of-the-party friend, perhaps. This is, after all, the hotel that has already caught our attention with a humungous doggie door, themed floors, and a ‘Stay Happy’ Contest.
Its relentlessly upbeat nature reminds us of the corporate culture of Zappos, or the new-fangled “positive psychology” craze. Often, this can get, well, a little much. But the latest promotion out of Planet Happy Curtis is so much a little much that it’s mega: the hotel is putting itself up for auction on eBay for New Year’s Eve.

Element Hotels Open in Denver and in Dallas
Element Hotels, a spin-off of the Westin Hotels brand, are slowly but surely expanding. The green extended-stay hotel chain has announced the openings of their fifth and sixth hotels in Denver Park Meadows and at Dallas Ft. Worth Airport North.
Rates at the Element Denver, which is actually on the outskirts of the city near the Denver Tech Center, start at $144 a night for a room with a king bed and a queen sleeper sofa and that rate includes a full hot breakfast. You can also make your own meals in the full kitchens that come with every room. Rates at the Dallas Airport location were not available yet as the hotel is expected to open later this week.
Up next for Element? The Element Hotel in Ewing, New Jersey which will open on November 5. We still have to wait a little bit longer for the promised NYC property as the Element Times Square West is now set for an August 2010 date.

Hotels Are Still 'Hot' For Teachers; The JW Marriott Denver Offers 50 Percent Off
Hot on the heels of La Quinta's "Hot for Teacher" promotion we recently reported on comes another deal for exclusively for those grooming our future's leaders. Along with reading, writing, and arithmetic, add "rollback"—in prices, that is—to the list of Rs.
The JW Marriott Denver at Cherry Creek is jumping on the teacher appreciation bandwagon, hoping to attract a slew of recess-seeking educators to its Rocky Mountain-located digs. Through the end of this year, they're offering all teachers and administrators 50 percent off their nightly room rate, with prices starting at $99 on weekends and $149 for weekdays. We would've thought those prices would be reversed, but it works out nicely for three-day weekends and full-time school employees.

The Hotel Teatro Celebrates Accolade with $5 'World's Best' Martinis
We've kicked off our Summer Cocktails series where we profile fun new summer drinks that hotels are making. Got one we should know about? Send us the recipe with a photo of the drink. Otherwise, enjoy and @reply us when you're wasted!
The Hotel Teatro in Denver is pretty pumped about their inaugural ranking as one of the "Top 50 Large City Hotels" on T+L's 2009 World's Best List. So pumped that they decided to celebrate with "The World's Best Martini" and it only costs $5.
Starting today, the hotel's Prima Ristorante will serve this special martini--a blend of Stoli Orange and Grand Marnier, garnished with a mandarin orange wedge and fresh orange slice--for just $5. At that price, why would you even want to attempt to make it in your own home? Just hit up the hotel instead.
And if you've had too many of the martinis, consider getting a room. The hotel, named Best Hotel in Denver by the 2009 Zagat Guide, has 12-foot ceilings in its 110 rooms, complimentary internet for guests, and they love your little dog too. Rooms start at $169 a night for a petite queen room.

The W Hotel Denver Gets Put On Hold
It nearly took the skills of Nancy Drew to get to the bottom of what’s going on with the W Hotel and Residence Denver deal. Way back in July 2007, both DenverInfill Blog and the recently-shuttered Rocky Mountain News (R.I.P.) reported that Denver-based Sage Hospitality, headed by Walter Isenberg, planned to develop a W Hotel property at the corner of 16th and Market Streets in the LoDo district.
Sadly, today we learn the project is on hold and the promise of W Hotel’s signature Whatever/Whenever® service is definitely not in Denver’s immediate future thanks to the craptastic economy. A moment of silence for the trendy LoDo – Lower Downtown – District hipsters, please.

JW Marriott Denver at Cherry Creek Weaves Its Social Web
Okay, so maybe the JW Marriott Denver at Cherry Creek could use a jumpstart in the social networking department, but with just shy of 100 Facebook fans (as of press time), its prospects for Web 2.0 glory are looking favorable.
The secret to hotel Facebook success seems to lie in the level of staff involvement. Is the page updated regularly? Are there photos and/or videos? Is there a place in which guests can pony up their opinion? Does the hotel offer special online deals and incentives (because frankly, in this cash strapped economy, everyone is looking for a little gratis action). We know there are dozens of hotels (at least) using Facebook — so it seems like everyone's doing it, but are they working it to their advantage like Mariah Carey works a too-tight outfit? That’s highly debatable.

The Curtis Hotel Introduces the 'Stay Happy' Contest

A Not-Nice Little Nugget of a View in Denver
You know the scene. You open the door to your brand new hotel room, run over to the window, open the blinds and bam, you are hit with the anti-view. Maybe you are looking down a dirty alley, witnessing a drug deal, staring at an air shaft in the face, or seeing a brick wall. Whatever you are viewing it is not extremely pleasurable. Help out your fellow hotel mavens by uploading your anti-views to the HotelChatter/Flickr photo pool, or by sending the photo along to us. Remember to tell us the name of the hotel and the room number with the not-so-easy-on-the-eyes view.
Well, this is kind of depressing. On the bright side, while you can't see anything else, we suppose you can make out that springtime is coming because there is either rain or melted snow on the roof here, no?
This is a shot out the window of jabbusch's room at the Ramada Inn Downtown Denver, and it makes us very sad.
We don't usually harp on Ramada views because, well, we're not really expecting anything particularly spectacular when we're paying a fairly low room rate, but we think some of the TA reviews of this place are kind of funny — LollyNYC said:
"The Ramada's idea of "downtown" is like our idea of the outskirts of Queens. The area was questionable, and the characters at the bus stops made us decide not to ride public transit. This coming from two New Yorkers is saying a lot."
Hmm, so perhaps we were better off not seeing the view here, then?
Oh, and that thing we said about spring: nevermind. The next photo in Jabbusch's Flickr set — another anti-view from the same room — proves that's notsomuch the case.

The Curtis Hotel's Got You Looking So "Crazy In Love"
Forget the clichéd champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries packages offered by hotels for Valentine's Day. The Curtis has left it up to you to decide whether your Valentine's Day will be classy or kinky.
With the Denver-based hotel's "Crazy in Love" package, you can seduce your honey with a bottle of wine or shots at the hotel restaurant. Once you're both good and drunk, head on up to your room where you'll find a game of Twister on your bed and a rose petal turndown. [Ed. Note: Shots and Twister? We likey!]
The package starts at $169 per night and is available throughout February. We only wish our chances of drunken Twister-induced sex were as readily available.
