Kids glamping at the Ritz Carlton, Denver

BonBon November 29, 2017 24 Comments

Glamping or glamorous camping has been a huge phenomenon lately. I was first introduced to this word from a South African friend who went glamping around the South of France. Well, yes… it’s camping without sacrificing the luxury and comfort of a hotel or resort.

My kids went glamping at the Ritz Carlton, Denver this Thanksgiving. Ritz Carlton, Denver is located in Larimer Square, Denver’s most historic block right in the heart of the Mile High City. You are probably thinking and asking yourself, “Glamping, how so? Isn’t Ritz Carlton a luxury city hotel?”  Curious now? Keep on reading…

The Ritz Carlton is a luxury hotel which doesn’t discriminate the little ones. They love them and treat them special, just like the grown-ups, from check-in until checkout.

Check in counter for the little ones:) How cool is that?!?

Ritz Carlton, Denver has a fabulous package specially created for adventurous and glamorous kids. They call it the Ritz Kids City Camper Experience and my kids got the awesome privileged to experienced it.

This package includes luxurious accommodations in a One-Bedroom Suite which is at least 1000 square feet (which is needed as you’ll soon see why). The room can have either a city or mountain view.

We got the city view which overlooked the Skyline Park and the historic Daniels and Fisher Tower. The view was so pretty at this time of the year with the streets all decked out in Christmas decor.

In-Room Ritz Kids Tent Experience includes, of course, a tent (or teepee) and special keepsakes like a Colorado wildlife storybook, plush stuffed animals, Flashlights, Ritz Kids sunglasses, and a coloring activity set. Sorry kids, you don’t get to keep the tent! By the way, this package must be reserved at least 48 hours prior to arrival.

How glamorous is this teepee:)

My kids are 7 and 6 yrs old, and even if the tent was too small for them it didn’t seem to bother them. They love it and they had fun in it.

If you have 1 kid, this is definitely perfect and he/she can sleep in the tent the whole night but for 2 it is a tight squeeze.

This picture is NOT staged... she was reading the book the moment she got hold of it. Finished it right away and read it again that night.

The S’mores cupcake. OMG… They were so delicious and this is one time I’m glad that my boy doesn’t really like chocolate as I got to eat his and even share a little piece with the hubby.

Tip: If you want to purchase extra cupcakes in addition to this package, please call ahead of time and they will help place the order to the pastry team based on availability.

So, you know…. when you go camping, I mean glamping, in this type of upscale and luxurious environment, you are sure to sleep really well and wake up feeling so glamorous; I bet hungry too.

My kids woke up at their normal waking time but Mom and Dad woke up later so kids were starving by the time we were up and about. Thankful, Ritz Carlton signature restaurant Elways – named after John Elway the beloved Denver Broncos Hall of Famer – is just a few steps away. And did I tell you Ritz loves kids? They have special kid’s breakfast for ONLY $9. What a treat!!!

And while waiting for our order, kids enjoyed solving the puzzle, they love puzzles and serious about solving it.

It was indeed a sumptuous breakfast and of course, glamorous!!!

After breakfast, I went to check out the spa and gym while the kids and their Dad did one of my kid’s favorite activities, a Scavenger Hunt.

Here are some of the photos their Dad took of them with some of the items they had to find 🙂 Sorry… I am not gonna spoil your search little kiddos out there.

So, when people think that staying in a luxury city hotel is a waste of money then think twice… And if you are visiting Denver, Ritz Carlton may just be the perfect hotel for your family. There are some shops, restaurants and kid-friendly attractions nearby, it is after all in the heart of the city.

Tip: They offer a luxury car service (BMW) within 2 miles radius from the property. This is really sweet!!!

We all had an amazing time and it was indeed an experience of genuine luxury and definitely memorable most especially for the kids.

Take it from these happy faces:)

    That is defiinitely not the definition of glamping I’m used to but it’s one I could get on board with.

    What a cool experience for the kids! I would’ve loved a little tent in the room when i was younger. my family always took me “real” camping though, so i would’ve loved having the creature comforts plus the coziness of a tent and flashlight!

    We were recently at the Ritz-Carlton Denver with our kids for a VIP Art Auction. They really did treat our kids well. They even made sure we had a microwave brought to our room since our daughter is a picky eater and we had to bring her some microwaveable food.
