People often do things in hotels that they would never do in their own homes, such as sleep soundly, watch Marley and Me, or let the kids drink as much shampoo as they want. Let loose with today's Groupon: for $109, you get a one-night stay in a king, signature, or fireplace suite, plus breakfast for two, at Magnolia Hotel Denver (up to a $299 value), located in downtown Denver. Types of suites are subject to availability; be sure to check the fine print for black-out dates.

Recently renovated with new furnishings and a luxurious but modern style, Magnolia Hotel Denver treats out-of-towners and home-weary locals alike to pampering overnight stays and conscientious customer service. Enjoy the sophisticated dark-wood furniture, the garden tubs housed in oversized bathrooms, and the complimentary high-speed Internet found in each room. Relax at a large granite work desk as you construct the framework for a high-stakes version of the dot game, or relish an in-room Starbucks coffee while perfecting John Wayne impersonations in the bathroom vanity mirror. Suite-loungers can craft their own meals in the separate kitchen area or unwind in the living room, which features enough space to store your extra luggage, shopping bags, and several in-laws. Refreshed hotel guests are greeted in the morning with a complimentary hot American-style breakfast buffet. Nightly conversations are paired with cookies from the complimentary cookie buffet, and evening relaxation is met with complimentary beer and wine receptions from 5:30 p.m.–6:30 p.m.

Located in downtown Denver, Magnolia Hotel is the perfect place to kick off a day of high-end shopping at the 16th Street Mall, catch a Nuggets game at the Pepsi Center, or reenact the famous Lincoln-Douglas-Doogie Howser debates in Larimer Square. Guests can work out at the state-of-the-art-fitness center or appease appetites with in-room dining or cocktails and light dinner fare at Harry's Bar. Customers must call in advance to make a reservation.

Reviews

Zagat recommends Magnolia Hotel Denver and TripAdvisors rank it #3 of 146 hotels in Denver. Yahoo! Travelers and more than 40 Yelpers give Magnolia Hotel Denver a four-star average:

• Great hotel to walk to local sites, restaurant/bars, Denver Museum of Art etc. Staff is very helpful. Our room was as if we had our own downtown condo, great to relax in and easy walk to anything. Perfect stay. – CLBFC, TripAdvisor
• The Magnolia is clean, quiet and enjoyable. The "freebies" are amazing -- happy hour in the evenings, the cookie bar for that little snack before bed and the hot free breakfast buffet are totally worth the price of a room. – Erin J., Yelp, 12/1/10
