KDEN/DEN - Denver - Double Tree By Hilton - November 2025

Had a 1 night stay at the Double Tree By Hilton at KDEN.  This airport is a 10-15 minutes’ drive on the free shuttle bus, which runs every 30 mins hotel to airport and airport to hotel.
 
This hotel is relatively new and comprises of 6 floors. I didn’t sample any on-site amenities.  Rooms can be chosen 24 hours in advance on the Hilton app along with check-in so no need to visit reception, unless you want the famous Double Tree cookie!
 
I chose room number 624 as per the floor plan below, but I suspect any even number room on the 6th floor would suffice.  The views are quite distant so FR24 and a very good set of optics is a must.   
 
The HiEx may provide slightly closer views, but note the large warehouse type structure that may hinder these.
 
Please note there are other hotels in this area around ‘Tower Road,’ but most are orientated as such that views of all arriving/departing traffic might not be possible.




KDEN/DEN - Denver - Westin - July 2025

I had booked 2 nights at the Westin Hotel at the airport. I had requested a high room on the eastern side. It is a very expensive hotel but the restaurant is better than many airport hotels I have stayed in the USA. On arriving in the room I found it to be south facing so I returned to reception and they gave me a north facing room (1154) which faced the terminal. It gave excellent views of the easterly runways and the Frontier/Delta gates with a lot of United using the taxiway in front. Most of those landing on the westerly runway could be logged with the use of FR. Photos were possible of a good number of the movements.
