The Ultimate Denver Date Night Travel Guide

Denver is one of the best cities to visit for a quick in and out date night or solo adventure. It's a short flight from many places in the US, the transportation set up in the downtown area is superb for tourists and there are so many things to do. I've been to Denver on several occasions but my favorite way to see Denver is on a quick date night with my husband staying at the magnificent Crawford Hotel in Union Station.

The Crawford Hotel
@vangoestraveling
Have you ever wanted to stay inside a train station? No, well add it to your list because staying at the Crawford Hotel in Denver is a no brainer. The train goes straight there from the airport, the list of amenities are endless , there is literally not a hotel that is in a better location in Downtown Denver and oh... the ease and luxury of it all!

How to get there:

Denver has train that leaves from DEN airport and goes straight to The Crawford Hotel, it couldn't be easier. Simply buy your ticket, follow the signs at the airport, hop on and ride the train to the last ride. It can't get easier than that!

How to buy tickets

Download the RTD app and purchase a $10 ticket on the A Line.

Trains run every 15-30 minutes

Pro Tip: Even if you don't stay at the Crawford Hotel, catch the train to Union Station and walk or catch the free downtown shuttle to your accommodation.

Pikes Peak is magnificent any time of year. I went on a hot summer day and was transported to the top where I was met with snow capped peaks and snow covered terrain- all while it was 80 degrees in Denver below. If that's not amazing enough, a pit stop in the Garden of the Gods is sure to wow you!

Hey! I'm Van! I'm an avid traveler, your friendly travel concierge and a real wanderlust. Travel is my thing... I am always dreaming of being somewhere that I am not. Daytrips, long retreats - it doesn't matter; there'll always be a vacation to plan. My favorite thing to do is budget travel. How can I maximize my fun but minimize the dent to my wallet? Although I love budget travel, my guilty pleasure is luxury travel. Marrying the two, I've become a pretty good travel hacker who is obsessed with getting more for less and using that philosophy to live my wildest dreams. Let me help you live yours too!
