This hotel has a skating rink on their rooftop for the winter... The Halcyon is situated in the heart of Denver’s Cherry Creek North neighborhood with a winter wonderland waiting for guests - Halcyon on Ice. We kicked off the holiday season with a staycation here & had a wonderful time. We arrived at Halcyon and checked in. The front desk staff was lovely and made sure we had everything we needed before heading up to our room (they even gave our dog Forbes a homemade treat, which he loved). Halcyon is a pet-friendly hotel. We were in a Junior Suite room - the room was smooth and contemporary with all the necessary amenities you would expect from a luxury hotel. There was a Juliet balcony with views of the Cherry Creek neighborhood, large spaces and lots of light. In-room amenities featured Nespresso brewing systems, Jonathan Adler bath products, 100% cotton sheets, bathrobes, Smart TV programming and Wi-Fi. The bed was very comfortable and we slept really well. The Jonathan Adler bath products added a chic touch to the bathroom. Once we were settled in our hotel room, we headed up to the rooftop to meet our friends at Halcyon on Ice. The roof was decked out in Christmas lights, garland & holiday decor. We each grabbed a pair of ice skates and did some laps on the rink. For holiday inspired cocktails we enjoyed Mexican Hot Chocolate made with chocolate, cinnamon, chili powder, caramel, Dulce de leche, whiskey & mezcal. The winter cabana was cozy and sat all four of us comfortably (each cabana can fit 6). Our cabana experience included 3-hours of rink access, ice skates, hand warmers, and hot cocoa. There was a space heater in each cabana, but it’s still advised to wear warm clothes (it is winter in CO after all). We enjoyed dinner in the cabana - for shareable bites we had the Swedish Meatballs, Sourdough Pretzel & LJ Burger. General Manager, Peter and rooftop staff took great care of us in our cabana while we dined. The LJ Burger was a 1/2-pound patty, topped with bacon, smoked cheddar, onion, pickles, burger sauce, and served on a fluffy potato bun. The Sourdough Pretzel was a big hit and was made with warm sourdough and served alongside hatch chile cheese dipping as well as whole grain mustard. Now that's a winter experience you can’t get anywhere else! Tickets to Halcyon on Ice are $30 per person and include a pair of rental skates. The Winterized Cabanas can be reserved in advance for a $250 cabana fee with a $100 food and beverage minimum at the time of reservation.

This place is nice, but it does have its issues like any other high end hotel, the rooms are a bit small but you can make do, the bathrooms are designed nicely and are stylish but it has some weird things that I didn't care for such as the toilet flush handle, you have turn it up and back with is weird because you usually just need to push it down, having to do it backwards hurt my hand because I have carpal tunnel but I didn't really blame the hotel for that, I just found it odd, the shower has two heads but you can only use one at a time, the only problem with that is that if you push the button in to use the overhead shower you can't just switch back to the handle without turning off the water to release the pressure on the button for it to come back out. There is no microwave in the room so don't plan on heating up any leftover meals or anything for that matter. The walls are paper thin and you will hear everything in the hallways and from the immediate rooms that are adjacent, this made it difficult for me to study. If the hallways are quiet then you will hear ALL of the street traffic, there were some trucks that were offloading from 6:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and all you hear is the trucks engines and exhaust, imagine the sound of a garbage truck all day long!!! It was annoying. If it were not for all of the traffic noise I would give 5 stars for the location, this hotel is in a prime spot, there are many stores and restaurants at walking distance, I couldn't spend my time shopping to get away from the truck noise because it was cold (18°F). There are water stations in the hallways near the elevators which is nice, you can fill up a large jar of cold or hot water anytime at no charge, the only problem was that there were no instructions so you have to list figure it out, there is a coffee machine in the room but it sounded like it was dying, extremely loud, I actually think that mine was broken, but I didn't bother since Starbucks is right across the street. The views from the room were horrible, I opened my curtains and was faced with some guy sitting in his office working, I could see everything on his monitors, so we just pulled the shade down and kept it closed. Now the roof top views were a whole other story, it's Colorado so mountains in the distance are just a beautiful sight to see, but again it was too cold to hang out up there. We were here for a conference so I'm not sure we would return here just for leisure, the parking is $60 per night so if you don't need a car then I suggest you catch an Uber or Lyft to get you there. The valet and front desk were kind and always greeted me as I came in and out of the building.

EDIT: They replied that they sent me an email... I did not receive any email. Also, I find it interesting that after my review 5 star reviews poured in that the Halcyon responded to. Lowered to 1 star for these very suspicious practices. Stay away! Chose Halcyon for my birthday staycation with friends so we could relax. I have a very high pressure career, so I wanted to treat myself to recharge. We had a less than decent experience. We booked for an early check-in, even called to double-check that they had the room ready for us before arriving. The lady on the phone was very rude for no reason, it was a simple question and she acted like we were stupid for asking. It put me off that this was the first person I had contact with associated with the Halcyon before our stay. I asked who I was speaking to and she would not give me her name. My career requires a lot of customer service skills and I would never talk to anyone the way I was spoken to, especially since I wasn't trying to argue, I just wanted to know if our room would be ready on arrival! Eventually, she said we could come. When we arrived, our room was in fact not ready, we had to wait an additional two hours. They added a $50 credit to our room for the inconvenience. Great! But we never ended up using it for anything extra. When we ordered room service, it never came. We also tried to use it for our tea time experience (Alex at Local Jones was the only highlight of our stay, he provided great customer service) as suggested by the front desk ladies, but we couldn't because well, we weren't able to get checked-in yet. They also did not have tickets for the Botanical Gardens as outlined but by the time we got checked-in, the gardens were closed anyways. We had the Terrace Room for the day and I wouldn't try it again. The terrace was sort of a joke... very dirty outdoor furniture, umbrella would not open, view of a parking garage, view and smell of the wet garbage. Room was okay - chose this hotel because it's newer, hoping it'd be cleaner. It wasn't - pillow sheets had yellow stains, random stains on furniture in the room. Overall very mediocre room and service for a 4 star hotel. I wouldn't stay here again. If you want a nice hotel experience where you feel very taken care of, I would recommend to stay at your next choice. I would have probably had a similar experience at a cheaper hotel. The location, of course, was great and very walkable. We tried to maintain a positive attitude despite the inconveniences during our arrival. I don't like to leave negative reviews unless it's to potentially help someone else make a better decision than I did.

From the moment we arrived at the Halcyon in Cherry Creek, we knew we were in for a treat. Every member of the staff we interacted with—from check-in to check-out—was top-notch. Their warmth, attentiveness, and professionalism made us feel genuinely welcome, setting the tone for an incredible stay. The hotel itself is a beautiful blend of old-world charm and modern sophistication, creating an atmosphere that is both inviting and luxurious. Our room was stunning, with elegant décor that felt upscale yet cozy. One of the most delightful surprises was the record player and curated selection of vinyl in the room—such a unique and nostalgic touch that made our evenings even more special. The amenities at the Halcyon go above and beyond with common spaces perfect for relaxing. Everything was curated for an exceptional guest experience. During our stay, we dined at the hotel’s restaurant, Local Jones, and it was just as fantastic as the hotel itself. The food was outstanding, thoughtfully prepared with high-quality ingredients, and the service was impeccable. Every dish we tried was a delight, and the overall ambiance made for a truly memorable dining experience. Try the chicken schnitzel – it is fantastic. Be warned that you may require two people to finish it. If you're visiting Denver or Cherry Creek, I cannot recommend the Halcyon highly enough. My only regret is that our stay was just two nights—I would have loved to enjoy this incredible hotel for longer! Without a doubt, I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

My husband and I recently stayed at the Halcyon in Denver for a weekend away and had an amazing experience. I don’t normally take time to write reviews, but I can’t say enough great things about our stay. From the moment we walked in, it felt like we were entering a cozy, but elegant home. It was beautifully decorated for the holiday and the staff were all incredibly welcoming, both of which added to the overall personal feel of the hotel. Some of my favorite things were the never-ending amenities. Complimentary coffee, tea, beer, wine & bubbles at the lounge along with beautiful coffee table books to browse while relaxing in front of the fire… Heaven! Since it’s in the heart of downtown Cherry Creek, we had a lovely time walking around, enjoying the nearby coffee shops & window-shopping. The rooms had so many thoughtful touches including the record player, Nespresso machine, & delicious biscuits. The bed and pillows were also incredibly comfortable. The hotel also got us a reservation at one of the city’s best speakeasy bars (located under the hotel) where we enjoyed exquisite craft cocktails. There were so many other things we didn’t have enough time for like the hot tub, rooftop bar, Denver Botanic Gardens pass, and we are definitely coming back to take advantage of their Gear Garage! Overall, we had an unforgettable experience at the Halcyon and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxury hotel with a personal feel.

It’s a charming and cozy hotel. Very tastefully decorated and in the perfect location, Cherry Creek is my favorite area in Denver. The staff was polite, and the food in the restaurant was excellent. As we had our little dog with us we didn’t go to the pool or bar, but all and all, it was a pleasant stay and we enjoyed the hotel very much.
