Kimpton Claret 

Denver’s hospitality scene just got a little cooler — and a lot more elevated. Welcome to Kimpton Claret, the newest boutique hotel to rise in the vibrant Belleview Station neighborhood. With its striking 19-story presence, Claret isn’t just a place to stay — it’s a destination to experience. From its rooftop social scene at Halo to the flavor-forward dining at Saverina, the hotel is reimagining what it means to eat, drink, and stay in the Mile High City.

Opened in summer 2024, Kimpton Claret blends warm, natural materials with modern textures and industrial edge. Think smooth stone meeting plaster walls, and polished metal set against raw wood — the perfect balance of refinement and comfort. The 190-room property offers both a retreat and a launchpad, thanks to its easy access to downtown Denver via light rail and its proximity to the energy of the Tech Center and Front Range.

The vibe here is elevated but never stiff. The Claret is for the discerning traveler who likes their design thoughtful, their playlists curated, and their service casual but dialed in.

Saverina: Italian Soul, Colorado Heart

Downstairs, you’ll find Saverina, the hotel’s signature restaurant, where Italian sensibility meets Colorado bounty. Executive Chef Christian Graves crafts a seasonal menu that’s soulful and modern — from hand-tossed sourdough pizzas to house-made pastas and wood-fired vegetable dishes. Everything is rooted in sustainability and local sourcing, with a big emphasis on flavor and freshness.

The space itself mirrors the food: light-filled, airy, and buzzing with energy. With a show kitchen, soaring ceilings, and design that bridges rustic and modern, Saverina feels like a neighborhood staple from day one — the kind of place you could wander into for a weeknight spritz or a long weekend brunch.

Halo: Cocktails at Altitude

Up top, Halo Rooftop Bar delivers serious wow-factor. Located on the 19th floor, it offers panoramic views of the Rocky Mountains — the kind that pair perfectly with a sunset negroni or a plate of shareable snacks. The atmosphere is all about vibe: fire pits, lounge seating, and a mixed indoor-outdoor layout that keeps the energy flowing year-round.

Halo is more than just a rooftop bar — it’s a social perch, a late-night escape, and arguably one of the best skyline seats in town.
