Located floors above the downtown Denver's streets, this rooftop lounge is head and shoulders above the rest. With lofty views of the Mile High City and the Rocky Mountains, Peak's Lounge at Hyatt serves up as much by way of visual decadence as it does with its signature beverages and menu.

With candlelit tables, couches and cozy corners, it is the ideal destination for co-workers, friends and the more romantically inclined. And after 10 p.m., it turns the lights down and the sound up, transforming the lounge into a vibrant late-night stop.
