Patterson Inn, Denver - A Grand Gilded Age Revival

This restored redstone chateau, a regal mansion from the late 1800s, stands as an ideal mix of historic intricacy and modern convenience. Patterson Inn has successfully achieved its mission of enhancing the city's unique identity, offering an experience that transports guests to another era while providing contemporary comfort. It is a destination in its own right, a place where history is not just observed but deeply felt.

Location

Patterson Inn is strategically located in Capitol Hill, a residential district renowned for its bohemian vibe and stately old mansions. Occupying a quarter acre in the heart of one of Denver's original high-end neighborhoods, it offers a secluded atmosphere, yet remains close to the city's cultural pulse. The Museum, dedicated to the story of Margaret 'Molly' Brown, is among the most visited historic sites in Colorado, and a convenient free shuttle from downtown ensures easy access. For those exploring further, the Denver Art Museum and History Colorado Center are just a short distance away.

Style and Character

The property itself is a gorgeous restored mansion, brimming with intriguing features that speak to its Gilded Age origins. Hand-carved wood furniture, wrought iron detailing, and exposed cedar beams, offset by warm natural colors and whitewashed antiqued furniture, capture the romantic spirit of 19th-century Paris. Velvet draperies and an original 27-foot cathedral ceiling in the main hall further remind visitors of an old-world European castle. The reading room, resplendent with its own original stained glass window, offers a quiet sanctuary. The entrance to the Gusteau Suite is particularly striking, mirrored with original 9-foot tall pocket doors showcasing exquisite trim and molding details, a testament to the craftsmanship of a bygone era.

Service and Facilities

Patterson Inn excels in providing a gracious and attentive service, ensuring guests feel pampered from arrival to departure. A complimentary social hour, featuring free beverages and hors d'oeuvres, is served daily between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. For registered guests, a complimentary wine hour is offered in the pub from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. The option for guests to cancel cleaning services during their stay demonstrates a thoughtful approach to privacy and comfort. While specific amenities like a spa or pool are not highlighted, the intimate setting and personalized service create a unique, almost domestic, sense of luxury.

Rooms

Each distinctive room at Patterson Inn offers a unique experience, ranging from the decadence of the Antoinette Suite to the refined elegance of others. Guestrooms are designed for a good night's sleep, with comfortable king-size beds appointed with plush linens. Some rooms feature amenities such as whirlpool bathtubs, air conditioning, heating, desks, and minibars. Suites like the Gusteau, DaVinci, and Prague are appointed with iPod docks and seating areas, providing ample space for relaxation. The Library Suite includes a spa bath, while the Royale Suite offers a balcony. For those truly celebrating, the option to enjoy breakfast al fresco in the secluded courtyard or on private room-only accessible decks adds a touch of exclusivity.

Food and Drink

Patterson Inn offers a delightful culinary experience, beginning with a made-to-order, complimentary breakfast fit for royalty. Guests can opt for breakfast al fresco in the secluded courtyard or a private room. For other meals, the new and improved Union Station offers many dining options that are out of this world, providing a convenient and exciting alternative. The Inn's own Gusteau restaurant features a menu with the kind of food you would want to eat with friends and family, making it a great restaurant to visit if you are celebrating something special or just feel like treating yourself to a night out.

Value for Money

While specific price ranges are not provided, the inclusion of a made-to-order complimentary breakfast, a daily social hour with beverages and hors d'oeuvres, and a wine hour suggests that considerable value is offered. The unique historic ambiance and personalized service contribute to an experience that feels truly special, positioning Patterson Inn as an excellent choice for those seeking a memorable stay that justifies the investment.

Accessibility

Information regarding specific accessibility features, such as wheelchair access or adapted rooms, is not detailed. However, the property's nature as a restored historic mansion might present certain limitations common to older buildings. Further inquiry directly with the Inn would be recommended for those with specific accessibility needs.

Family-Friendly

Patterson Inn offers a unique environment that could be engaging for families, particularly those with an appreciation for history and grand surroundings. The spacious suites and the romantic Gilded Age décor provide an evocative setting. While not explicitly marketed as family-focused, the attentive service and the option for private dining experiences in the courtyard could cater well to families looking for a memorable and distinct accommodation.

“The adults-only boutique hotel, set in a historic mansion, presents themed suites for couples looking for getaways. I noted the complimentary made-to-order breakfast and wine hour and its proximity to attractions, such as the Molly Brown House Museum. Its themed rooms evoke a sense of history and luxury, offering a distinctive stay.”
