The Golden Hotel, Ascend Hotel Collection

Great hotel at the Heart of Golden Wonderful stay at the Golden Hotel in Sept 2023. We stayed for a wedding and the staff were lovely. I highly recommend a room overlooking the creek. We have our son's the large room and it's is just that: very large. The location can't be beat. Everything was within walking distance and convenient to Red Rocks for a sunrise view!

Perfect location to enjoy Location is nice. Tons of places nearby you can go on foot. Very lively at night. Room is kinda busy and small. Refrigerator and microwave are there. Bed and lines are good. Hotel deco is nice. Staff is awesome friendly. Free coffee and water at lobby. Kinda noises until bars are closed.. I think it became quiet around 10 or 11.. I would stay there again.

Truly Golden My husband and I were so surprised to find this little jewel. It was so classy and historical. The servers at the restaurant/lounge were so nice and the food was great. We got our morning walk in right on the creek side path directly behind the hotel and there was an amazing coffee shop 2 doors down. What a great alternative to the hustle and bustle of Denver.

Great hotel in a great location Really nice hotel - large rooms, beautiful views, right next to a beautiful creek and great walking trail, and right next to great restaurants and shopping, not to mention the nice restaurant at the hotel which has great outdoor seating overlooking the creek. Highly recommend and would love to stay here again!

A Little Piece of Heaven!! We travel a lot for business, and since we always travel as a family, we usually try to spend one day doing something adventurous and touristy to create a family memory. On this business trip, we decided to stay at The Golden Hotel in Golden, Colorado, upon a friend’s recommendation who used to live in Denver. At first glance online, my husband wasn’t too excited about staying at the hotel because the pictures don’t always do justice to a place’s charm. However, I was hoping we would land at the perfect spot, and thankfully, our search came full circle when we chose The Golden Hotel. I can’t begin to express what a great decision that was. From our first interaction with the front desk staff to our last moment on the property, it felt like a five-star experience. While waiting to check in, we sat outside and had brunch by the riverside. The staff and waiters were so kind that we joked they might have thought we were secret shoppers. This obviously wasn’t the case, but it speaks volumes about the quality of experience The Golden provides for its customers. Brunch was amazing; we sat in the sunshine watching the water rush along a snowy bank. It felt like something out of a movie! Coming in spring, we had the perfect mix of warm and cold. I never expected to sit outside comfortably in the sun while snow was still on the ground. It added another magical layer to the quaint town of Golden. When checking into our suite, we were pleasantly surprised by its beauty. It had a total log cabin feel with a fireplace, yet all the luxury you hope for in a five-star hotel, including robes and an in-bath hot tub. Our mountain view was incredible! After resting, we decided to find some food. Due to our incredible breakfast experience, we opted to try the restaurant for dinner too. It was early, so we arrived during happy hour. The food was excellent! They offered special dishes only available during happy hour, each delicious and well-priced. We thought about exploring the city, but the hotel and its surroundings were so special that we ended up staying and enjoying them the entire time. Due to business, we flew in early and didn’t have our next appointment until a bit after checkout. Thanks to early communication with the front desk staff and perhaps because it was the slow season, they allowed us to check in early and check out an hour late. This completely transformed our stay and our subsequent business trip as we had ample time to reboot, rest, and enjoy our time as a family. We had a slow morning, and when it came to food, we couldn’t imagine eating anywhere else but on site. It did not disappoint! Every meal offered new and exciting options not seen on other menus. Every person we encountered was full of life and incredibly kind. We later discovered that the staff wasn’t just wonderful to us—they were genuinely kind to everyone they interacted with. It was such a special stay that I commented to the front desk as we were leaving that it felt like we had just experienced a little piece of Heaven. Considering we stay at various places every month across the U.S., this was no small compliment. Our family still talks about our stay at this heavenly gem and daydreams about when we can return. Thank you, The Golden Hotel, for your attention to detail and exceptional experience; it does not go unnoticed! Also, I can’t end this review without mentioning the Rocky Mountain Miners’ Salad—absolutely mind-blowing! I’m usually not much of a salad person, but the waiter suggested it and he was spot on with all his other recommendations, so we tried it. Completely memorable! We dine at many restaurants due to our travels, and it’s rare that a menu item is this memorable. My mouth is watering now just thinking about it! _ So if you don’t have the luxury of staying a night at The Golden, at least stop in at the restaurant and try out the Rocky Mountain Miners’ Salad. You’ll feel like a real Gold Digger! _
