A restored 1950s motor inn on Denver’s East Colfax corridor blends mid-century design, modern comfort, and standout dining at Fino and All Is Well Café
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.
When you walk into The All Inn Hotel, you are truly transported back in time. The rooms are beautiful with reclaimed pieces from the 60’s and the comfiest hotel beds I have ever slept in. Each of the three guestrooms floors has a color theme, just like the original hotel, and each room has its own unique lamps to add a bit of mystique to every room.
I was hungry so I headed downstairs to Fino, the in-house restaurant at The All Inn Hotel. The Mediterranean restaurant encourages people to slow down, ease into their meal, and enjoy. If you are a fan of avocado toast, then you must try the Dungeness crab toast. Topped with tons and I mean tons of Dungeness crabmeat, this snack, starter, or meal, takes the popular avocado toast to a new level. If you are not a fan of crab, there are other toasts on the menu. While this might not seem like the proper or usual dinner bite, trust me, don’t leave without ordering one, they are outstanding! Another must try at the restaurant is the Vodka O’s. Think Spaghetti O’s but adult style, complete with the most delicious meatballs on top. The cocktail and wine list will make a perfect pairing to your meal there. Whether you stay at the hotel or not, Fino must be put on your go-to Denver restaurant list. It is honestly one of the best hotel restaurants I have eaten at, and I will be back very soon, as it is that tasty.
