Last year we also visited Denver but stayed a bit outside of town in a crappy motel. Then I promised myself that next time we come here we will stay in a nice hotel downtown. We both like this city very much, it has everything we were missing in Phoenix. It has a very nice city center with an abundance of restaurants, caf\u00e9s and shops.<\/p>\n<p>After some research I found a boutique hotel called the Magnolia just one block off the 16th Street pedestrian mall. The hotel is located in an old bank building built in 1910 and they have kept some of its old style. There is a free bus going up and down 16th Street so it is very easy to get to any restaurant or shop of your choice.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/globitrotter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/IMG_1974-copy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1708\" title=\"IMG_1974 copy\" src=\"http:\/\/globitrotter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/IMG_1974-copy-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/globitrotter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/IMG_1974-copy-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/globitrotter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/IMG_1974-copy.jpg 389w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 85vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Everything we needed was included, breakfast and wifi. Parking was unfortunately additional like any other nice downtown hotel. There was a parking garage just next door which was better deal than using the hotel valet parking. A bonus though was the complimentary wine and beer in the early evening and the late evening milk and cookies (!).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/globitrotter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/IMG_1972-copy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1707\" title=\"IMG_1972 copy\" src=\"http:\/\/globitrotter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/IMG_1972-copy-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/globitrotter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/IMG_1972-copy-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/globitrotter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/IMG_1972-copy.jpg 518w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The room was very spacious with a kitchen, living room and bedroom.
