No grass nearby

While this was a great hotel, ours is a suburb dog, so the 5 minute walk to the only grass nearby (at Arapahoe & 17th) to relieve himself was disappointing. That park is also a home for many homeless people, broken booze bottles, brazen rats & obvious crack use (city's problem, not the Kimpton, but still). If you have a city dog that can poo on concrete, you won't even notice. There's a daily happy hour from 5-6p with free wine in the dog-friendly lobby. Loved that! Their restaurant is top notch, but dogs aren't allowed & they don't have a patio, so we had take-out once, then took our business elsewhere...

Union Station & Dairy Block have fabulous choices within walking distance. Kimpton provides a (small) dog bed & food/water bowls, but we didn't get offered treats until we been there 6 days already & it was by the valet, not the front desk staff. Front desk staff were also very stingy when we asked for poo bags (the Kimpton in Austin, TX gave us a whole roll on check in, so having to ask daily was annoying). Very quiet except the night a band from Red Rocks Amphitheater was there. We'll try the Kimpton Born at Union Station next time we're in town.
