The Mile High City is the cultural heart of the Rocky Mountain region, boasting a unique array of public art, world-class museums, performing arts, and more. Our base in the Thompson Hotels was the perfect location to explore Denver’s vibrant and distinct neighbourhoods, from the Art District on Santa Fe to the River North (RiNo) Arts District, Five Points, Cherry Creek, and everything in between. Each neighbourhood offers chef-driven cuisine, local breweries serving craft beer, local shops, street art, cultural events, and more which we will share with you for your clients to experience the Mile High City.
