The Bar/Lounge at The Oxford Hotel

"No worries—the location begs for guests to get out and explore, the resident McCormick & Schmick's is known for its seafood, and the two bars—including the one and only Cruise Room are among the best watering holes in the city"

"Comfortable rooms are furnished with French and English period antiques, and the Cruise Room bar re-creates an art deco ocean liner"

"Despite the lack of a pool, the hotel offers ample entertainment with its beautiful two-story spa and The Cruise Room Bar, Denver's oldest bar"

"The hotel has a martini bar, the Cruise Room"

"The Oxford holds down its stretch of 17th Street with a nautical wink: The hotel’s Cruise Room bar opened up the morning after Prohibition was repealed and is modeled after a bar on the original Queen Mary ocean liner, and the McCormick’s Fish House serves the best seafood in a culinary scene dominated by red meat"

"The extensive art collection on display includes several notable works and the art-deco Cruise Room Bar is one of Denver’s swankiest cocktail lounges"

"It may be tucked in a "hip part of LoDo", but with "amazing" 19th-century architecture, this "beautiful" landmark boasts some "serious old-school charm", echoed in the "huge" art deco and Victorian digs, which are furnished with antiques; "wonderful" staffers are "helpful", and when you add in the large spa, fitness center, swanky cocktail lounge and McCormick's Fish House, fans insist the "very good old hotel" is a "great" catch"

"Ask the bartender and he'll tell you that this was in fact the first bar to open after the Prohibition Act was repealed"

"Ask for a corner room and don't miss the hotel's Cruise Room, a red-lit Art Deco bar that opened the day after prohibition was repealed in 1933"
