Formerly the Hotel Born, the new Limelight Hotel Denver begins the next chapter of Aspen Hospitality. Mixing the elevated mountain vibe of our other hotel properties with the sophistication of the Mile High City, this 200-room hotel adjacent to Union Station offers the perfect escape in the heart of it all. Find inspired food and beverage options at the in-house restaurant Citizen Rail, as well as a captivating local art experience curated by the local Museum of Contemporary Art.

Experience the city of Denver and all that it has to offer during your stay at the Limelight Hotel. We’re your home base for all of your adventures in the city and beyond. Our spaces can be described as elevated casual, and are designed with art, furniture, and decor selected specifically to enhance our guests’ experience. Whether you’re exploring downtown, enjoying a concert at one of the many local venues, or experiencing a tasty cuisine at a nearby restaurant, you can find your post-adventure home with us at the Limelight Hotel Denver.

The Limelight Denver offers 200 rooms boasting an alpine-meets-city aesthetic that matches the mood of Denver, Colorado perfectly. Each room features knotty-pine headboards to evoke the coziness of a mountain getaway, while offering modern leather furniture, floor-to-ceiling windows revealing monumental city and Rocky Mountain views and carefully curated art to remind you of why you are visiting this dynamic city. Of course, our most important amenity is our location. Just across the street from both the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Colorado Athletic Club, our guests receive access to both of these with their reservation.

Citizen Rail Satisfy your appetite at Citizen Rail where Chef Christian Graves' grill-centric specials and modern American cuisine combine around an animated restaurant-bar environment. With a menu centered on aged cuts of local beef — as well as local pork, game, lamb and chicken and a variety of freshly sourced seafood dishes — this restaurant also celebrates the many farms and gardens of Colorado with carefully integrated produce. Enjoy craft cocktails, local craft beers and a curated wine list, or come early for breakfast and brunch daily. In 2019, the restaurant was voted one of the 12 best brunch places in Denver.

Citizen Rail’s decor is a subtle homage to the railroad that has long fueled the growth and vitality of Denver. Our in-house gym is complete with Peloton bikes and 24/7 access with a guest room key. We also provide access to the full-service Colorado Athletic Club, which offers complimentary classes, steam room and sauna space.
