Things To Do
Inverness Hotel Activities!
The hotel is technically a resort - free of charge you can rent bikes, indoor/outdoor games (ladder ball, cornhole, etc), pickleball and tennis paddles/balls. There are pickleball and tennis courts, as well as, an indoor and outdoor pool area. For a fee, you can also book a tee-time! If you want to golf, I recommend booking in advance.
Cherry Creek State Park
Big lake nearby where you can rent boats, paddleboards, kayaks, etc. There are also a few trails you can walk around the park. There is a $10 entrance fee per car! Wear sunscreen and stay hydrated if you make your way here!!
Roxborough State Park
A state park nearby with dramatic red rock formations and a lot of short hikes. Fountain Valley Trail is an easy 2 mile hike option. $10 entrance fee per vehicle. If you do this, please please stay hydrated!
Daniels Park Overlook
Beautiful overlook that just so happens to be located right next to our wedding venue! If you are lucky you might see the buffalo heard.
Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre
The amphitheatre is open during the day to the public. This is one of the US most famous venues due to the unique rock formations and great view of downtown. There is also a free muesum to visit within.
Movement Centennial
An indoor climbing gym near the hotel if you want to rent some gear and get a morning workout in! $28 Day Pass; $11 full package rental gear (shoes, harness, chalk)
Cute Walkable Areas
Note all of these are about a 20-30 minute Lyft/Uber from the Hotel Area, so please plan accordingly! Downtown Golden - A cute city to walk around with tons of shops and restaurants. There is a river that runs through the city that people float on for added viewing entertainment! River North Art's District (RiNo) - Closer to downtown this neighborhood is great to walk around in with lots of shops, breweries, restaurants, and street art Tennyson St - between 38th and 44th Ave - this street is a cute area to walk around with lots of shops and restaurants.
Breakfast Ideas
Atomic Cowboy - Near the Hotel - Home of Denver Biscuit Co, which are awesome breakfast biscuit sandwiches. They are huge, so be prepared to be stuffed and need a post breakfast nap. The Bagel Deli - 10 min Lyft from Hotel - Great old school Jewish Deli featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. You can check and join the waitlist on their website/Yelp ahead of time, which is definitely recommended because this place gets busy on weekends! First Watch - 8 min Lyft from Hotel - Classic Breakfast restaurant chain that we love! You can join the waitlist online. Bonfire Burritos - Golden (30 min Lyft from Hotel) - Best breakfast burritos in the area! The wait at this place is brutal, so we recommend ordering ahead online and then making your way there when ready to pick up! Then head out to explore the city! Inverness - (Hotel) - is known for their Sunday brunch buffet!
Lunch/Dinner Ideas
Please double check how far away from the Hotel these are! These are more intended if you are off exploring or if you are staying longer before/after the wedding! Edgewater Public Market - Sloans Lake - $-$$ - A food hall with a variety of options (including Vegan). There are also a bunch of cute stores to explore while you wait for your food or after.
