The Four Seasons' central location, attentive staff, and ultra-luxurious rooms make it one of Denver's top hotels. It offers all the features you'd expect from a property of this caliber: a year-round, heated outdoor pool, large fitness center, and upscale spa, plus everything parents might need during a trip with the kids: childproof rooms, free baby and children's toiletries, infant bathtubs,high chairs, movies for rent, and babysitter services. Kids receive a welcome gift upon check-in.

The 202-room, sophisticated luxury property has a prime downtown location, upscale rooms that are the largest in Denver, and a popular steakhouse. The first-rate spa, and the privately-owned fitness club, which guests can access for free, are the highlights for adults, but kids will probably have a great time too: the hotel has a comprehensive kids program, which includes scavenger hunts, a children's menu, stuffed animals, night lights and a welcome gift.

This upscale boutique delivers all the fundamentals of the Kimpton chain: bright, quirky decor, a wonderful kids' program that includes a welcome gift, in-room child safety kits, and their famous animal-print child-size robes. The day spa is recognized as one of the best in Denver, and rooms are stylish, with 37-inch flat-screen TVs and a fun, colorful decor.

The 336-room Curtis DoubleTree by Hilton may be a mid-range hotel, but it's fun and kid-friendly, with themed floors -- including the TV Mania floor and the Floor of Champions -- and a great downtown location. Rooms are modern but a bit bland, and walls are thin.
