# Denver hotels where a family fits

Written 2026-10-04 by Play Day. Eleven Denver hotels with family facts: full kitchens in RiNo and by the airport, rooftop pools downtown and in Uptown, and two-room suites, hotel by hotel.

For a full kitchen, Catbird Hotel in RiNo, Residence Inn Denver Cherry Creek and the two airport suite hotels (Staybridge Suites Denver International Airport and Homewood Suites by Hilton Denver International Airport) are the ones. For a rooftop pool downtown, The Rally Hotel and Warwick Denver. For two rooms with a door between them, Drury Plaza Hotel Denver Central Park.

Denver is spread out, and a hotel that looks close on the map can be a drive from the zoo. So the part of town comes first, then the room. A suite with a separate bedroom does more for a trip with kids than any amount of lobby.

Short on time? A kitchen and a playroom: Catbird Hotel. A rooftop swim after a day out: The Rally Hotel or Warwick Denver. Free breakfast and an evening meal: Drury Plaza Hotel Denver Central Park. The splurge: Four Seasons Hotel Denver.
