Oxford Hotel

Designed by the architect Frank Edbrooke and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this is one of Denver's few hotels to have survived from the 19th century (another being the Brown Palace). The facade is simple red sandstone, but the interior boasts marble walls, stained-glass windows, frescoes, and silver chandeliers, all of which were restored between 1979 and 1983 using Edbrooke's original drawings. Antique pieces imported from England and France furnish the large rooms, which were created by combining smaller rooms during the restoration. No two units are alike (they're either Art Deco or Western Victorian in style), but all are equipped with one king-size or queen-size bed, individual thermostats, dressing tables, and large closets. An Art Deco gem, the Cruise Room Bar boasts perhaps the swankest cocktail atmosphere in Denver, and the spa is the largest in the area.

The Oxford Hotel is located at 1600 17th St, Denver, CO 8020.
