Restaurants
MICHELIN recognized 27 Denver restaurants in the most recent guide.

Hotels
Last year the MICHELIN Guide revealed its inaugural list of One, Two, and Three Key hotels in the United States; a distinction only award in cities that also offer MICHELIN dining. Three Denver hotels received this distinction: Clayton Hotel and Members Club, Four Seasons Denver and The Crawford Hotel. 

The Crawford Hotel was recently renovated with rooms inspired by the golden era of train travel and is in Denver Union Station, a thriving hub for shops, restaurants and easy access to Denver International Airport. Populus Hotel, a new downtown hotel inspired by nature opened in Oct. 2024. The 265-room, 13-story hotel features an event space, multiple food and beverage venues and a rooftop deck and bar.
