Founded in 1858, Denver has a history entwined with the discovery silver and gold. The Molly Brown House Museum tells her unsinkable, rags-to-riches story, and the US Mint hosts informative tours showcasing the coin production process.
Honoring its past by preserving historic buildings and hotels, Denver also welcomes the Denver Art Museum's soaring architecture and engaging public sculptures. Denver is also one of only two US cities to possess eight professional sports teams, and with more than 100 different beers brewed in the immediate area, sports fans certainly have plenty of opportunities to raise a toast.
With the city's proximity to the Rockies and 300 days of sunshine annually, hotel guests in Denver should be primed for hiking around nearby Pike's Peak, visiting the city's buffalo herd at Genesee Mountain Park, or attending an unforgettable outdoor concert at Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
