About the Crawford
The Crawford occupies the upper floors of Denver’s Union Station building, a landmark that first opened in 1914 and continues to anchor the heart of the city. Its revival in 2014 transformed the station into a mixed use transit hub, cultural destination and boutique hotel. The Crawford opened that summer as a natural extension of the station’s renewed purpose, welcoming guests into a setting where history feels both present and refreshed.
With one hundred twelve rooms shaped by the station’s long story, The Crawford blends the romance of early rail travel with the clarity and comfort of modern hospitality. Classic rooms borrow their proportions from the building’s original office wings with tall ceilings and generous windows. Pullman rooms sit on a newly added mezzanine and recall the tailored intimacy of vintage sleeper cars. Loft rooms rise into the former attic and feature exposed timbers and vaulted ceilings that bring an airy, urban character. Each room category carries a distinct personality while contributing to a unified sense of place.
Set above the lively Great Hall of Union Station, which now serves as a public living room filled with dining and retail, The Crawford places guests directly within the rhythm of downtown Denver. The moment you step through its doors you move between the pulse of the city and a hotel experience shaped by thoughtful design, local pride and a deep respect for the building’s past.
