The hype
Universally praised for being an oasis of calm and cleanliness in a stressful area.
The Benson Hotel And Faculty Club
$150-250/ notte
Prenota se You're visiting the Anschutz Medical Campus and want a sanctuary that feels more like a wealthy professor's study than a hospital hotel.
Perché piace così tanto
- Incredible soundproofing that blocks out ambulance sirens completely
- The 'Faculty Club' aesthetic—leather, wood, and curated Western art
- The Common Good restaurant serves genuinely excellent farm-to-table comfort food
In sintesi: A surprisingly high-end boutique hotel stranded in the middle of a massive medical complex.
Recensito da @vanessa.symone: I attended the grand opening and was blown away. The suite I toured had incredible sunset views over the campus. We ate amazing food at The Common Good and even made fanny packs on the lawn. It’s the perfect mix of professional and cozy—I’d definitely stay here again.

Suggerimenti degli Insider
- ✨
The 'Juliet balconies' in most rooms are standing-room only and often locked for safety—don't expect to sit out there.
- ✨
Ask for a 'Plains' theme room if you prefer lighter wood tones, or 'Campus' for a more studious, darker vibe.
- ✨
The lobby art collection is actually curated and worth a self-guided tour.
