Sentral Union Station

Denver, CO, USA
$150-300/ night

Book this if You want to live like a wealthy local in a high-end apartment with a full kitchen, right next to Union Station.

Why People Love It

  • Whole Foods is literally on the ground floor (private elevator access)
  • Washer/dryers and full kitchens in every unit
  • Resort-style pool deck that feels more 'Miami' than 'Denver'

Quick Take: It’s a luxury apartment complex that rents out units, so expect killer amenities but zero hotel hand-holding.

Reviewed by @thebrittany.edit: We booked this for a quick downtown escape and I'm obsessed. The apartment was huge, but the real highlight was soaking in the rooftop jacuzzi while looking right at the Union Station sign. It felt like our own luxury penthouse.

Guest Who Stayed Here Said

The hype

Travelers love the space and the 'home away from home' vibe but often get confused by the lack of traditional hotel services.

Reality check

The check-in process can be glitchy (digital keys), and if you need fresh towels, you're doing your own laundry.

  • You're staying for more than a weekend and want to cook
  • You need to work remotely (excellent coworking spaces)
  • You hate tiny hotel rooms and want a real living room

Cleanliness & Maintenance

9
  • Housekeeping: Units are professionally cleaned before arrival, but no daily service means you maintain it.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Generally spotless upon arrival; modern grout and glass are well-maintained.
  • Maintenance: Newer building (opened ~2020s), so wear and tear is minimal. Everything feels crisp.
  • Linens & towels: Hotel-quality white linens, though you only get one set unless you pay for more.

Room Genie

Best picks

  • Courtyard-facing units for less street noise and pool views
  • Corner units for dual-aspect city views (great at sunset)

Rooms to avoid

  • Lower floors facing Wewatta Street if you're sensitive to traffic noise
  • Units directly near the elevator banks (can be high traffic)

Room Request Genie – copy & paste

“I would love a high-floor unit facing the interior courtyard or pool to minimize street noise. If possible, please avoid units directly adjacent to the elevator.”

FAQ & Hidden tips

Everything you actually want to know before you book.

Yes, there is a 24/7 concierge desk, but they function more like apartment building security/support than a hotel front desk.

Can I store my bags before check-in?

Maybe. The building has luggage drop-off, but policies fluctuate. Have the 'LuggageHero' app ready as a backup; there's a spot nearby.

Is the pool open year-round?

Yes, the outdoor pool is heated and open year-round, which is a rare find in Denver.

How does housekeeping work?

There is NO daily cleaning included. You can request it for an additional fee, otherwise, you are on your own for the stay.

Is it pet friendly?

Very. Up to 2 pets allowed with a $75 fee per pet per stay. There's even a pet relief area nearby.

Is there a resort fee?

Not explicitly listed as a daily dollar amount on all booking channels, but a 'destination fee' is common in this area. Watch out for the $150 incidental hold.

Insider Tips

  • ✨

    The 4th-floor community terrace has fire pits and grills that are often empty on weeknights.

  • ✨

    Skip the hotel coffee; go to Pigtrain Coffee inside Union Station for a real espresso.

5 things to know before you go

  • 💡The 'digital key' system can be finicky; ask for a physical fob backup if you can.

  • 💡You might be sharing the elevator with actual residents walking their dogs, not just tourists.

  • 💡The blinds are often motorized—look for the switch on the wall before you try to yank them down.

  • 💡Delivery drivers (UberEats/DoorDash) often get confused by the entrance; meet them in the lobby.

  • 💡The gym is better than 90% of hotel gyms—Pelotons, squat racks, and actual space.
