LoDo District

Voted a favorite hangout of the Colorado Avalanche hockey team, the lower downtown district of Denver, or LoDo, bustles with excitement on any given day or night. Located adjacent to the riverfront area, the turn of the century redbrick buildings line the streets housing some of the finest stores, galleries and restaurants in town. Home to the city’s hottest hotel, the Teatro and Denver's state of the art Performing Arts Center, this is a common stomping ground for the rich and famous.

Known as one of the hippest places to be seen, where the martinis are plentiful, the sidewalk cafés trendy and the shopping magnificent. Meet your friends for lunch, enjoy a few glasses of wine, and make the most of a luxurious day. An excellent place for celebrity spotting, wild shopping sprees and some of the best cuisine in Denver! Don't forget the credit cards!
