Our Denver Staycation: Kimpton Born Hotel and Citizen Rail Dining
Hannah loved that our room supplied a brand-new yoga mat in promotion of health, wellness, and relaxation.
We visited neighbors, Pig Train Coffee, for a before-dinner pick-me-up.
I enjoyed a seasonal hand-crafted cocktail that tasted of smokey grilled peach. It was perfect for my late summer birthday.
Hannah sipped on a Tempranillo from '05 and claimed it a favorite.
Our appetizer of Colorado lamb tartare and smoked egg.
Our main dish came recommended by our waiter, Josh. We feasted on the Tomahawk steak. I'm drooling over this just thinking about it...
When in doubt, get the duck-fat fries...
We sampled a variety of the gluten-free desserts at CR and walked away with smiles smeared on our faces.
This is the balsamic and fig hand-made ice cream. One of our favorites.
Along with the balsamic and fig, we enjoyed bites of double dutch and honeycomb and grapefruit ice cream. Some of the most unique combos made for lasting impressions.
Above is the rice pudding brûlée paired with yet another hand-made cherry ice cream.
Of course, we couldn't have completed our stay without checking out all the art curated at the Hotel Born. Their curation includes over 700 hundred local artists with some historical elements mixed with a contemporary feel for the overall design of the hotel.
Thank you, Hotel Born and Citizen Rail for an unforgettable staycation with my family and for helping make my birthday extra special this year!
