Choosing the perfect Airbnb in Denver is the gateway to an enjoyable trip. Bed down at these cool, quirky and stylish options in the Mile-High City.
Denver is one of the US’ most vibrant cities – with its colourful murals, more breweries than you could ever hope to try and poppin’ culinary scene, it’s little wonder that it’s such a travel hotspot.
So, you’re planning a trip to Denver? It only makes sense to want an unforgettable place to bed down to add to your getaway. These Denver Airbnbs will guarantee you a stunning stay.
Want to know a secret? I love using Plum Guide instead of Airbnb for bookings. Not only do the accommodations go through a thorough vetting process, but they are — in my opinion — always drop-dead gorgeous.

Toffee Nut Latte
Love at first sight is no myth, especially once you step inside the two-bedroom masterpiece, Toffee Nut Latte. You’ll see where the name is inspired by light timbers and deep nutty oak-like colours, creating a relaxation space.
Let the sun warm you as you enjoy a morning cuppa on your private patio. Or venture to the complex’s roof for a jacuzzi-fuelled night under the stars.

It may be a 15-minute drive from Downtown Denver, but this quiet neighbourhood has all the petit cafes and parks you could ask for.
Queen City of the West
It may be small, but what it lacks in space, this lavish one-bedroom apartment makes up for in other places. Picture yourself on your queen bed’s crisp linen as your favourite movie plays on the smart TV.
Sounds good? You can also whip up a storm in the elegant charcoal and white-toned kitchen. Sure, the views aren’t the best from the room. But who needs them when the complex offers a serene rooftop terrace for sundowners and a crystal-clear pool for those hot summer days?

Practical Tips to Consider Before Booking Your Airbnb in Denver
- Book your stay well in advance. The capital of Colorado, that’s close to the Rocky Mountains, is busy all year round.
- Consider what you want to do in Denver and book in a neighbourhood that makes sense. Do you intend to explore the city, or are you visiting more for the outdoors?
- Last but not least, budget, budget, budget. Although the city’s sights are fairly affordable, some lodgings can be pricey.
