clayton hotel & members club

denver, co

clayton hotel & members club: Clayton Hotel & Members Club puts hotel guests on equal footing with its private members — a fully equipped fitness center with daily live classes is available 24/7, not gated behind a separate guest tier, covered under the daily amenity fee along with the rooftop pool and bar. There's no large destination spa here; recovery leans more toward lifestyle and social wellness than treatment rooms. Rooms carry a built-in cooler rather than a standard mini-fridge, though one is available on request, along with coffee and tea service — worth knowing if you're planning to stock up on groceries or supplements during a longer stay. Dining runs across five distinct concepts, including Alteño from Michelin-starred chef Johnny Curiel, so healthy bowls, salads, and protein-forward plates are easy to find without leaving the building.

The Cherry Creek neighborhood itself is the real advantage here — the Cherry Creek Trail, a paved 40-plus-mile corridor connecting downtown Denver to the southeast suburbs, runs right through the area and is genuinely walkable from the hotel. It's flat, well-maintained, and useful for both easy recovery runs and longer training rides. Complimentary admission to the Denver Botanic Gardens and Denver Zoo rounds out the stay for anyone wanting an easy day between harder training sessions. Between the 24/7 gym access and direct trail proximity, this is a solid urban base for a Denver training trip.

★ DESTINATION GYM: Cherry Creek Trail
A paved, 40-plus-mile regional trail beginning at Confluence Park in downtown Denver and running southeast through the Cherry Creek neighborhood — right past the hotel — connecting to Cherry Creek State Park and beyond. Flat, well-maintained, and genuinely walkable from the property, making it one of the most convenient destination trails in the whole portfolio.

★ DESTINATION GYM: Red Rocks Amphitheatre
One of Denver's most iconic free outdoor workouts — hundreds of stone steps built into the mountainside at 6,450 feet elevation, used daily by everyone from casual visitors to professional athletes. Run the stairs, walk the seat rows for roughly 2.5 miles of elevation training, or explore the surrounding hiking trails. About 20–30 minutes from the hotel.
