Discover the Denver Area: The Ideal Mid-Term Stay for Remote Professionals and Travelers

Nestled against the backdrop of the stunning Rocky Mountains, Denver, Colorado, is a city that does a great job of blending a bustling urban area with outdoor beauty and adventure. Whether you're a remote professional looking for a vibrant city to work and explore, or someone who is making their way around the US, seeking a destination for an extended stay, Denver has something for everyone (and maybe some things that might surprise you).

A mid-term stay is longer than a short-term stay you might book on sites like Airbnb. It is a stay of 29 nights or longer, which allows you to immerse yourself in the area a bit more and truly take it in. Here's why Denver should be at the top of your list for a mid-term stay.

1. Thriving Restaurant Scene

Denver's culinary landscape is a food lover's paradise. I know, that may surprise you, but we have been put on the map for foodies over the last few years! The city boasts an eclectic mix of restaurants that cater to all tastes and preferences.

For a taste of Denver with a great location for those traveling through the downtown area, visit Mercantile Dining & Provision in Union Station, where Chef Alex Seidel offers farm-to-table dishes that highlight local ingredients.

If you're in the mood for international flavors, Safta in the RiNo district serves up modern Israeli cuisine and one of the best brunch buffets in the city.

For those craving Mexican food, La Loma is a family-owned Denver staple that has been around for 30+ years. Still making homemade tortillas, fantastic green chili and serving a variety of high-quality margaritas, it's a haven for those who appreciate some good comfort Mexican food.

Denver has also introduced many great vegan and vegetarian restaurants over the years. When you're here, you have to try Watercourse - a fully plant-based scratch kitchen serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.

2. Buzzing Bar Culture

Denver's bar scene is just as diverse and exciting as its food offerings. Craft beer enthusiasts will feel right at home in the city known for its breweries. Great Divide Brewing Company and Denver Beer Co. (DBC) are must-visits for their wide selection of local brews. DBC also has their Cerveceria off 15th and Platte St which serves beers utilizing traditional Mexican ingredients and flavors.

For a more sophisticated evening, Williams & Graham, a speakeasy-style bar which is accessible through a bookcase. It's in the LoHi neighborhood, and offers expertly crafted cocktails in an intimate setting.

Wine lovers should not miss Bigsby's Folly Craft Winery & Restaurant, an urban winery that delivers a unique wine-tasting experience along with delicious small plates and dinner items in a beautiful setting next to Zeppelin Station.

3. Outdoor Activities Galore

One of Denver's greatest attractions is its proximity to the great outdoors. With over 300 days of sunshine a year, it's easy to enjoy the myriad of outdoor activities available. Hiking enthusiasts will find a plethora of trails within a short drive from the city, and all throughout the mountains.

Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre offers both breathtaking views and a challenging hike, while Mount Falcon Park provides several trails with varying difficulty levels. For a more relaxed outdoor experience, take a stroll or bike ride along the Cherry Creek Trail, which winds through the heart of Denver.

4. Vibrant Nightlife

Denver's nightlife is as dynamic as the city itself. From trendy nightclubs to laid-back bars, there's something for everyone. Ophelia's Electric Soapbox is a unique venue that combines live music, burlesque shows, and delicious food in a historic setting.

For those who prefer dancing, Temple Nightclub in the Golden Triangle district offers an electric atmosphere with top DJs headlining from all over the country (and world).

If you're looking for a more relaxed evening, The Cruise Room, Denver's oldest bar, provides a classic cocktail experience in an art deco setting. Find it in the Oxford Hotel.

5. Ideal for Remote Work during a Mid-Term Stay in Denver

Denver is a haven for remote professionals. The city offers numerous coworking spaces equipped with all the amenities you need to stay productive.

If you're looking to get out of the house and work amongst other professionals, WeWork and Galvanize are popular choices, providing high-speed internet, comfortable workspaces, and a community of like-minded individuals.

Additionally, many of Denver's coffee shops, such as St. Mark's Coffeehouse and Huckleberry Roasters, are designed with remote workers in mind, offering a cozy atmosphere and reliable Wi-Fi.

6. Perfect Weather

Denver's climate is another reason to consider a mid-term stay. With mild winters and warm summers, the city's weather is conducive to year-round exploration and outdoor activities. The low humidity and abundant sunshine make it a pleasant place to work and play, no matter the season. Whatever the reason for your travel, doing it in the beautiful sunshine and clear blue skies doesn't seem to hurt.
