The Crawford Hotel – Denver Union Station, CO | 5-Star Boutique Accommodation

About three decades ago, a celebrated urban preservationist envisioned reviving the old Union Station that was initially built in 1881. After suffering from a major fire in 1894, it was completely rebuilt in 1914.

In 2012, Union Station underwent a major restructuring, changing it to what it is today – a transit-oriented, mixed-use hub that combines restaurants, retail shops, and a hotel named after the preservationist Dana Crawford.

Room Types

The hotel boasts 112 rooms in total, distributed on the second to fourth floors. Each floor is different from the others and represents a period of rail travel at the Union Station. There are three main room types.

Pullman Guest Rooms – These rooms will remind you of the shape and feel of the old Pullman Sleeper Cars combined with modern comforts. Just like actual rail cars, these are designed to give you a feel as if you are passing the world by. Each room is approximately 250 square feet in size.

Classic Guest Rooms – More spacious than Pullman, and representing the Victorian Era, these rooms embody the highest level of elegance. The layouts vary from room to room, yet all of them accurately exemplify that design distinctive to the Victorian Era. Classic artworks, subtle colors, pin-tucked headboards, and natural lighting await in each of the rooms.

Loft Guest Rooms – Decorated with exposed wooden beams, vaulted ceilings, and dormer windows, all with modern touches, each room will surprise you with its uniqueness, may it be historical features, lightings, chandeliers, and even small staircases.

Additionally, there are four LoDo Suites, which are highlighted with a 5-piece bath with Jack and Jill sinks, and a modern soaking tub, all illuminated by a skylight. There is one Crawford Suite, which is suggestive of an expansive Victorian Manor and was brought to life by Dana Crawford herself and includes all of the very best amenities of the Crawford Hotel.
