ALL INN HOTEL, DENVER
The four-story property at the corner of East Colfax Avenue and Milwaukee Street has been reinvented into a mid-century modern boutique hotel with 54 rooms, a cozy lobby with terrazzo floors and, soon, a relaxing wine garden out back. Originally built in 1959, the property stays true to the era with vintage bar carts in each of the three suites, earthy hues that change depending on the floor and a menu of classic cocktails suited for the “Mad Men” era.
While you’re there: Belly up to the curved bar at Fino, the Mediterranean–inspired lobby restaurant, for one of the best margaritas in town (courtesy of hospitality vet Steven Waters) and shareable items such as anchovy toast.

Modern In Denver Magazine Summer Issue
East Colfax Avenue is commonly thought of as a paean to car culture, but before the birth of the automobile it was commuted by rail. With newly renovated historic properties reopening and the introduction of the Bus Rapid Transit, East Colfax is reclaiming its identity as a collectively made corridor where people and small businesses want to be.

Creating the Perfect First Impression for Restaurant Guests
At Fino in Denver, as guests enter the vestibule from a hotel lobby, one side is made of glass blocks that give a deliberately distorted peek into the restaurant. That's the intention, says Abigail Plantier, founder and principal designer of hospitality design studio Maximalist, also in Denver. “This gives a little preview, and a bit of mystery.”

The All Inn Hotel- Colorado Expression
With its 54 rooms, The All Inn Hotel comes complete with some of the kitsch, and all the class that makes a great Denver Hotel. Inspire Investment Group President, Brian Toerber, revitalized the hotel while keeping his promise to preserve the history and sense of community that the East Colfax area of Denver exudes. The 1950’s motor inn went through an expansive renovation with every thought put into the fact that the original building and some of its artifacts are priceless. They gave the building, which is on the National Register of Historic places, an uplift but preserved the original neon out front, the exposed rock wall, and the very 1950’s vertical windows. With some added touches, The All Inn hotel was born, and I could not wait to visit.

Small Plates, Long Nights at FiNO Cherry Creek Lifestyle
FiNO fits seamlessly into that vision as the hotel’s playful, groovy restaurant, all good vibes and sculptural minimalism. Olive green booths curve into banquettes, textured woven flooring grounds the room, and the bar and lounge are outfitted with mid-century furniture. And then there’s the preserved stone wall of what millennials and Xers may remember from Rockbar. (Yes, there’s MD 20/20, only it’s mixed into a secret menu cocktail. Apologies to your liver.)

New Restaurant Cheat Sheet: Mar 2026 Report
Vibe: Before its newest reincarnation, the space lived many lives: a steakhouse, a Mexican joint, and most recently, the gritty dance hall Rockbar, which shuttered in 2012. While those other versions left their own legacies, FiNO’s slick setup has more in common with the restaurant’s first life as the Gold Room, an elegant establishment that promised “luxurious relaxation” to the customers visiting in 1959. While the white tablecloths and waitstaff stuffed into white tuxes have been swapped for a more casual look of burl wood patterned tabletops and a uniform of fitted black tees and pants, some direct traces to the past remain – most notably the original Palos Verde stone feature wall that’s broken up by narrow windows on the south wall. While the Gold Room relied on dark wood and pale yellow upholstery, Abigail Plantier of Maximalist – also a partner in the hotel – tapped into the sleeker side of 1950s and 60s design. For the booths, tables, and chairs, she drew on organic, simple forms reminiscent of Arne Jacobsen or George Nelson with the pieces get a fresh spin with a jewel-toned palette of ruby, pale lapis, and jade green in touch-me textures like smooth vinyl, soft mohairs, and nubby wools. The bar and lounge area at the front of the restaurant are particularly nice places to grab a quick drink or snack and soak up the atmosphere.
