Get Lost in the Converged Worlds of Meow Wolf Denver by Day, Slumber in Earthbound Luxury By Night in Denver, CO.
Everyone knows that quantum travel can be tiring, exponentially aging, and resulting in the irksome but occasional phasing out of reality. While Denver’s Quantum Department of Transportation (QDOT) cannot guarantee safe passage of all metaphysical parts, memories, or matter while traveling to the converged worlds, the official transit organization of the multiverse recognizes that the perfect Denver hotel accommodation has the potential to combat interdimensional travel fatigue, rejuvenate human ages to “youthful” settings, and remedy an overall depletion of Earthly delights.
If you’re planning a trip to Meow Wolf Denver’s Convergence Station, the following is a list of hotel accommodations where quantum travelers may discover the missing piece of the ultimate immersive art and travel experience: a home away from home! In addition to providing necessary recovery comforts, these unique hotels showcase elements of the art, whimsy, adventure, awe, and discovery for which Meow Wolf is known.
***Earthers, take note: When booking Meow Wolf hotel packages, tickets to Convergence Station are not included, and must be purchased separately HERE. Reservations are highly recommended at all establishments within the hotels, as they’re incredibly popular destinations in the exciting transit hub of Denver, Colorado.
1405 Curtis St, Denver, CO 80202 • (303) 571-0300 • thecurtis.com
Located in the heart of downtown Denver near the performance arts complex, the clocktower, and 16th Street Mall, The Curtis Hotel is well known to Denverites for its immersive nostalgia and approachable atmosphere. Each floor has its own theme, whether it’s rock and roll or horror movies (on the 13th floor, naturally), and guests are served warm cookies upon arrival. With a faux swim club and ski lift in the lobby, it’s an Instagrammable experience, and it’s not uncommon to see the guests of private receptions giggling in the elevators on their way to the next wedding or Bat Mitzvah. In short: it’s fun and down to earth at The Curtis, which might be just what you need after your otherworldly explorations at Convergence Station.
The Curtis Hotel’s in-house establishment, The Corner Office, is a restaurant and martini bar that is perfect for after-work happy hours. It’s also open for breakfast and lunch, and guests can order takeout from their hotel phone. The Corner Office is often packed with Denverites, so make sure to get a reservation. Earthers visiting The Curtis Hotel should check out the different themes of the floors while they’re there, then take to the streets to soak in downtown Denver culture.

245 Columbine St, Denver, CO 80206 • (720) 772-5000 • halcyonhotelcherrycreek.com
Halcyon Hotel is inspired by the mythical bird of the same name that was said to calm turbulent seas, a symbol for happiness, tranquility, and carefreeness. The hotel features design that is light, sophisticated, and dreamy, and the experiences here are as numerous as they are compelling.
Guests receive complimentary wine or espresso upon arrival. The common spaces are so comfortable that you see people actually sitting and reading—no empty hotel lobbies with bland art here! The rooms feature record players with totally excellent musical taste (think the Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense on vinyl), plus really cool, arty coffee table books.
Foodies can savor delectable bites while nestled in a rooftop cabana at Rare Bird, cuddling up while a local guitarist plays. Challenge your travel companion to curling, or soak in the swimming pool. Halcyon’s in-house restaurant, Local Jones, is cozy and approachable, and perfectly situated to gaze at passers-by prancing past with their shopping bags and elegant fashion from Denver’s upscale shopping district, Cherry Creek. Special passes can be purchased, like a wellness passport for yoga, day passes to the Denver Botanic Gardens, access to their gear garage full of outdoor equipment, and more.
Perhaps the most experiential offering of the Halcyon experience is the clandestine decadence of the B&GC. Upon securing reservations and finding a mysterious golden doorbell, adventurous cocktail aficionados are led on an adventure through a labyrinthine series of tunnels, eventually leading to a magnificent and glowing speakeasy of a different era. “Born of the glory and prosperity of the decades following WWII in America, and America’s greatest generation,” reads the website, “B&GC is a celebration of the type of cocktailing and revelry often reserved for the elite, wealthy and powerful.” Cocktails are unadulterated masterpieces here, and mixologists are easy to talk to, will curate special drinks for you, and are performance artists in their own right. This speakeasy of yesteryear provides the time traveling convivial atmosphere typically only seen in old Hollywood movies.
Halcyon Hotel’s Out of this World Meow Wolf package includes:
1850 Wazee St, Denver, CO 80202 (anchoring the Dairy Block) • (720) 460-2727 • themavenhotel.com
A maven is an expert or connoisseur, but not in a stuffy way; mavens are innovative, youthful, and vibrant. The art at The Maven is playful, from the neon signs to the elevators that are lined with leather belts to the swings in the elevator lobbies and rooms. The hotel rooms are edgy and urban: think exposed concrete walls, unexpected layouts, and bathroom mirrors that are perfectly lit for selfies.
The Maven is nestled within the micro district of the Dairy Block—it’s like a mall, but with food halls, bakeries, markets, pasta shops, cocktail bars, and restaurants packed with locals. Not only does The Maven reward their guests with free coffee at Huckleberry Roasters in the morning and a free drink at Happy Hour (4pm-7pm) at the front desk (doled out from a cute Airstream), guests also receive discounts and deals on an array of experiences throughout the Dairy Block. It’s almost hard to know where to start; much like Convergence Station, there is so much to explore.
A few highlights: For[a]ged is really fun and almost feels more like a nightclub than a sushi restaurant, in a good way—and the sushi is incredible. Poka Lola Social Club is a cocktail bar that nods to old school soda fountains with its mint green and black and white splendor. But the most impressive thing for art lovers staying at The Maven is that they can explore over 700 art pieces created by emerging and established Colorado artists, including Andrew Ramiro Tirado, Mario Zoots, Molly Bounds, and Diego Rodriguez-Warner.
