Dining

McCormick's Fish House and B
Breakfast is served daily in McCormick's Restaurant, located on the lobby level. Daily seafood specials are served for lunch and dinner weekdays in the wood-paneled dining room. Saturday lunch is served in the adjacent lounge, a lively bar frequented by locals and businesspeople. McCormick's Sunday brunch is also popular.
The Cruise Room
This sophisticated bar opened to much hoopla the day after Prohibition was repealed, and was renovated in 1933 to resemble a lounge on RMS Queen Mary. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it remains a popular downtown institution. Genuine Art-Deco decor and wall panels depict light-hearted "toasts" from around the world. Open late, serving from a full bar and upscale pub menu.
Il Fornaio Cucina Italiana
Murals of the Italian countryside and wood panels decorate this restaurant, which serves lunch and dinner from a menu that highlights a different Italian town or region each month. Coffee, pastries, and sandwiches are offered each morning in the bakery.

Great location

Really fantastic location and cool historic hotel. I had a problem getting a hairdryer delivered to my room - it took 3 calls to the front desk and over an hour in which I was waiting with wet hair and was then late for plans that evening. That doesn't seem like 4 star service to me.

Great getaway with old world charm

Had a great time staying at a unique place rather than the cookie cutter syle hotels that are out there. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Very close to many dining or shopping places, but if you feel up to it, more places can be found with a longer walk.

Great Location

We stayed here after a Broncos game. It was super easy to take the light rail to the game from the hotel - they even let us check in early before the game (it was an afternoon game). Larimer Square is close too so we walked to a great dinner after the game. The staff was great and the room service food was good. They have a funky old-school bar downstairs that was fun.

Perfect Blend

I tend to like boutique hotels that offer modern conveniences, personal service and unique settings. The Oxford hits all the marks. It is a perfect blend of a historic hotel with modern conveniences and exceptional service. You are greeted at the door and provided help with your luggage. Coffee is conveniently available each morning on your floor. Any time I needed help from the front desk, I received it immediately. The atmosphere is very warm and comfortable. Free internet and other amenities simply add to an already good experience. I would definitely book there again.

Very nice experience. This is a hotel dating back to about 1890, which defines some basic structural elements like room size, elevator size, etc. But remodeling has made this a very comfortable, warm and charming hotel. The customer service was among the best I've experienced. The attitude of the staff really makes the difference. Great location in the heart of downtown Denver.

Great Location!

Great Location, but expensive hotel. Was nice but not super clean as I would have expected. Very friendly staff, except for one girl. Spa is right next door! Very friendly at the spa, would definately recommened the spa to everyone! If you stay in the hotel you get 10% off spa services! The beds are very hard. My husband and I had a very hard time getting to sleep. Also you can hear everything from the street in your room. We were on the 3rd floor and still heard everything.

Beautiful Old world Style Hotel

This was a pricey stay but an amazing hotel nonetheless! It was like being in the flapper age and the bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in! If you have the money to spend then this is where it's at!

Great location!

we were visiting Denver for an NBA game and for st. Patty's- we wanted to stay downtown so we could walk around and not have to worry about driving. The Oxford has a great location and were very helpful with giving us directions to maneuver through the streets closed off for the st. Patty's parade. So overall- great location, friendly and helpful staff, great restaurant/ bars and clean rooms. My only complaint is that our room's bathroom was a little small- not a very big shower.
