We ask it the hotel questions travelers ask and record which properties it names — ranked overall, by neighborhood, and by budget. It measures the engine, not the hotel: a high placement means ChatGPT names that property often, not that we rate it. ## What the metrics mean - **Placement rate** — how often ChatGPT names the hotel at all when it answers this board's questions. - **Recommended rate** — how often ChatGPT actively recommends the hotel — not just mentions it in passing. - **Top-pick rate** — how often the hotel is ChatGPT's top pick, first on the list. Percentages come with a 95% confidence range in the published data. Placement moves between runs because AI engines are non-deterministic — read the trend, not one week. ## Citywide board — top 20 | # | Hotel | Neighborhood | Recommended rate | Placement rate | Top-pick rate | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | The Crawford Hotel | — | 64.8% | 64.8% | 10.2% | | 2 | The Brown Palace Hotel and Spa, Autograph Collection | — | 47.7% | 48.9% | 18.2% | | 3 | The Ramble Hotel | — | 47.7% | 47.7% | 17% | | 4 | The Oxford Hotel | — | 42% | 43.2% | 2.3% | | 5 | The Art Hotel Denver, Curio Collection by Hilton | — | 35.2% | 35.2% | 0% | | 6 | The Maven Hotel at Dairy Block | — | 34.1% | 35.2% | 0% | | 7 | Clayton Hotel & Members Club - Cherry Creek, Denver | — | 31.8% | 31.8% | 0% | | 8 | Four Seasons Hotel Denver | — | 30.7% | 33% | 15.9% | | 9 | Halcyon, a hotel in Cherry Creek, Denver | — | 30.7% | 31.8% | 0% | | 10 | Hotel Teatro | — | 28.4% | 28.4% | 0% | | 11 | Populus Denver | — | 22.7% | 22.7% | 8% | | 12 | The Ritz-Carlton Denver | — | 19.3% | 19.3% | 0% | | 13 | Thompson Denver by Hyatt | — | 14.8% | 15.9% | 0% | | 14 | The Source Hotel | — | 14.8% | 14.8% | 0% | | 15 | Catbird Hotel | — | 11.4% | 12.5% | 0% | | 16 | Limelight Hotel Denver | — | 8% | 9.1% | 5.7% | | 17 | The Acoma House | — | 6.8% | 6.8% | 0% | | 18 | Hotel Indigo Denver Downtown - Union Station by IHG | — | 5.7% | 5.7% | 2.3% | | 19 | The All Inn Hotel | — | 5.7% | 5.7% | 0% | | 20 | The Jacquard, Autograph Collection | — | 5.7% | 5.7% | 0% | Full boards, including every neighborhood and budget board, are in the data files below. ## Boards - Overall — all Denver — 31 hotels (`__head__`) - Boulder & the northwest corridor — 7 hotels (`district:boulder-northwest`) - Downtown Denver — 36 hotels (`district:downtown`) - The foothills west of Denver — 7 hotels (`district:foothills`) - The south metro suburbs — 25 hotels (`district:south-metro`) - Budget-friendly — 72 hotels (`price:budget`) - Luxury — 36 hotels (`price:luxury`) - Mid-tier — 67 hotels (`price:midtier`) - Aurora & the Anschutz Medical Campus — 22 hotels (`zone:aurora`) - Capitol Hill & Uptown — 11 hotels (`zone:capitol-hill`) - Cherry Creek — 11 hotels (`zone:cherry-creek`) - Denver International Airport & Gateway Park — 22 hotels (`zone:dia`) - Five Points — 7 hotels (`zone:five-points`) - Golden — 12 hotels (`zone:golden`) - Golden Triangle & the museum district — 13 hotels (`zone:golden-triangle`) - Lakewood & Belmar — 14 hotels (`zone:lakewood`) - LoDo & Lower Downtown — 10 hotels (`zone:lodo`) - LoHi & the Highlands — 16 hotels (`zone:lohi`) - RiNo (River North Art District) — 7 hotels (`zone:rino`) - The Ballpark neighborhood — 13 hotels (`zone:ballpark`) - The Denver Tech Center — 20 hotels (`zone:dtc`) - Washington Park & South Broadway — 17 hotels (`zone:wash-park-broadway`) - Westminster & the north I-25 corridor — 29 hotels (`zone:westminster`) ## Other markets - New York City: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/new-york/ - Los Angeles: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/los-angeles/ - San Francisco: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/san-francisco/ - Miami: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/miami/ - Chicago: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/chicago/ - San Diego: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/san-diego/ - Washington, DC: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/washington-dc/ ## Data, method and reuse - JSON: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/denver/ranking.json - CSV: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/denver/ranking.csv - Methodology and disclosures: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/methodology/ - License: CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) - Cite as: Sigtrip AI Hotel Ranking, https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/denver/, measured 2026-09-01.
