I have always found Denver to be one of the most underrated gay cities in the US - Capitol Hill and Colfax have a real neighborhood feel that many bigger-city gay scenes have lost, and the access to the Rockies makes it genuinely unique. The three gay hotels in Denver that the misterb&b gay community books most are Ember Hostel, Motel 6 - Denver, CO Downtown, and 11th Avenue Hostel - all affordable, well-located for Capitol Hill, and consistently rated by our community for welcome and value. Denver Pride in June is one of the Mountain West's biggest events and fills these properties fast. For the best local knowledge, booking through misterb&b is always recommended. 🏳️🌈
