This holiday season has revealed some incredible rock bottom bargain rates for hotels. The city of Denver has special Mile High Holidays promotional rates for over 40 Denver area hotels starting at $52.80 per night. Link to Mile High Holidays hotel list.
Participating hotels offer the low rates for the month of December and some hotels extend the rate discount into January.
The hotels shown here are just a sample of the hotels listed offering discount rates. These are hotels where I easily found the rate the first dates I searched and the rate was offered through the hotel chain’s own website for loyalty credit eligibility.
$52.80 rates
Marriott brands
Denver Marriott City Center $52.80
Marriott Courtyard Denver Stapleton (thru January 6)

Ritz-Carlton Denver $152.80 Fridays and Saturdays
Starwood Hotels
Aloft Denver Airport (Starwood) $52.80 Thursday – Sunday stays December and January

There are many other hotels listed for this special. Finding the discount rate was more challenging for other Hilton, Hyatt, and IHG properties I searched. All the major chains had some properties with rates under $99/night.
While Denver has a city-wide organized campaign for hotel rate discounts, there are also special super-discount hotel deals in other locations:
Sheraton Fisherman’s Wharf, San Francisco $49 room rates for San Francisco 49ers home game dates: December 14 and 27.
Have you seen super disount rates in other locations?

Marriott Denver Downtown
I paid $79 last weekend at a Doubletree (not listed on that webpage) that I picked primarily because of location (close to where family lives). With free WiFi and free (HHonors Gold) breakfast I thought it was a pretty decent deal.
I used to frequent the DoubleTree Denver when I would typically have a car rental. Enjoyed the cookies.
Same reason for proximity to family. Now the Cherry Creek area has so many hotels and it is even closer to the outlaws (as my London cockney brother-in-law would say.)
Downtown by the 16th Street Mall is such fun as a location for a Denver stay!!!
