You may remember that about a month ago I was in Denver visiting the Sunset Idea House (see that post here, if you missed it!) and we were lucky enough to enjoy a brief stay at The Crawford Hotel in Union Station – a totally restored train station that now houses the hotel, restaurants, and more. It’s absolutely stunning and a testament to historical preservation.
While there were plenty of beautiful spots to visit in the station, The Cooper Lounge was by far my favorite….

Perched above the bustling ‘terminal’ below, the view offered lovely light and people watching…

But really, everyone knows that besides a good cocktail, the way to this gal’s heart is the design of the space… like beautiful moldings, eye-catching wallpaper, leather bound benches, and herringbone floors!

If you happen to have an excuse to be in Denver, I highly recommend a wandering through this stunning space, and a drink at the bar.
