Hotel near Denver Performing Arts Center
We're going to see A Christmas Carol in mid-December and are looking for a hotel very close to the venue. We had been thinking about the Brown, but it's too far to walk at night, and I don't want to mess with Uber/Lyft. It looks like there are some nice hotels within walking distance (half a mile). Does anyone have recommendations? Thanks for your help!
If you want to stay within walking distance of the Denver Performing Arts Complex (DPAC) for seeing A Christmas Carol in mid-December, there are several excellent hotel options that are comfortable, convenient, and just a few blocks away. Staying nearby means you can easily walk to and from the theater at night without worrying about rideshares or parking.
Here are some top hotel options within roughly half a mile of DPAC:
- The Oxford Hotel: A historic, luxury hotel located in LoDo (Lower Downtown Denver), just a 5–10 minute walk to the Performing Arts Complex. It features classic charm, modern amenities, and a highly regarded on-site restaurant.
- The Curtis Denver – a DoubleTree by Hilton: A playful, boutique-style hotel about a 10-minute walk from DPAC. Rooms are themed and fun, and the hotel offers convenient amenities and easy access to nearby dining and nightlife.

- Four Seasons Hotel Denver: A luxury option around a 0.5-mile walk. The hotel offers refined accommodations, excellent dining, and a cozy lobby for relaxing after the show.
- Kimpton Hotel Monaco Denver: A stylish boutique hotel roughly 0.5 miles from DPAC. Known for its colorful décor, pet-friendly policies, and attentive service, it’s convenient for theatergoers who prefer walking.
Other considerations for your stay:
- Many of these hotels offer valet or self-parking if you happen to drive, though walking to the theater is easy from all of them.
- Check if your preferred hotel has holiday packages or special amenities in December, as this is a popular time in Denver.
- Dining options nearby: The 16th Street Mall and Larimer Square have multiple restaurants and cafes within walking distance, perfect for pre- or post-show meals.
In summary, staying at The Oxford, Curtis, Grand Hyatt, Four Seasons, or Kimpton Monaco will put you in a prime location to enjoy A Christmas Carol at DPAC without needing Uber or Lyft. These hotels combine comfort, style, and convenience, making them ideal for a festive December evening in downtown Denver.
