The Inverness Hotel is more of an all-inclusive resort than simply a hotel. Just to the south of downtown Denver, this relaxing venue would impress any hotel snob. Following a round of 18 holes on its PGA championship golf course, visitors can relax and share stories in the Fireside Lounge restaurant. At least one of the days should be spent unwinding in the incredible spa. Awarded 5280's Editor's Choice for best facial, this spa menu is decadent. Sign up for a Moroccan Oil Orange Peel Body Buff and Moroccan Oil Hair Treatments, then swim the cares away in the beautiful long blue swimming pool. The Inverness' decor is elegant and warm. Even the scrubs are served up in beautiful cups and bowls.

Editor's Note: A restaurant that was once featured on this list has been removed. Restaurant Kevin Taylor in the Hotel Teatro closed in Spring 2014.
