7:32 AM
11:10 AM
Wake up at the Halcyon Hotel
Cherry Creek, an independent
hotel in the heart of the Cherry
Creek shopping district, open
your shades and stare in awe at
the sight of the soaring Rocky
Mountains. After listening to
the Stones on your in-room
record player, enjoy grab-andgo
pastries, fruit and handmade
coffees at the Kitchen Counter,
a complimentary benefit for
booking this SELECT hotel
through our agency.
9:02 AM
Enjoy the fresh, clear mountain
air with a morning stroll in the
Denver Botanic Gardens. As
you meander along the gravel
and stone paths, you’ll pass
thousands of plant species from
across the globe, from cacti to
rainforest orchids, as well as a
Japanese garden and a giant
orange- and red-glass Chihuly
sculpture. Breathe deeply along
the way, acclimating your lungs
to the local oxygen level and
to appreciate the scents of the
vibrant botanicals around you.
In the late afternoon light,
you may not fully appreciate
the famous twinkling lights of
Larimer Square, the city’s
first historic district, but you
will definitely love the quaint
19th-century ambiance,
boutique shops, Prohibitionera
speakeasy and restaurant
patios packed with friendly
faces. Spend the next hour
leisurely browsing eclectic
shops: we recommend
checking out the fedoras and
cadet hats at the Goorin Bros.
Hat Shop, as well as the vintage
rings at Victoriana Antique &
Fine Jewelry.
12:38 PM
Now it’s time to enjoy one of
Denver’s most entertaining
culinary trends: the food hall.
Walk a few blocks over to
the Denver Milk Market, a
spacious food hall featuring
13 restaurants, three bars
and an artisan food market
— all wrapped up in a festive,
communal atmosphere. While
some of the businesses rotate,
you can’t go wrong with the fish
and chips at Albina by the Sea,
the Mother Cluckers chicken
tenders at Lou’s Hot & Naked
or the Superfood Specialty
Salad at the Green Huntsman.
