The Marriott is about the southernmost hotel in Denver, situated just half a mile from the start of open countryside around Lincoln Avenue (exit 193 of I-25) - close to the districts of Lone Tree, Centennial, Highlands Ranch & Greenwood Village as well as Littleton. The south terminus of the new light railway system is 0.3 miles away, putting guests within reach of central Denver without needing to drive. Park Meadows Mall is 1.5 miles north, and there are plenty more shops and restaurants close by, yet the hotel has a quiet location, well separated from adjacent buildings, and many of the rooms have fine views of the Rocky Mountains to the west. All the accommodation and public areas are clean, well maintained and elegantly decorated in the distinctive modern Marriott style; the many upscale facilities include a restaurant/lounge, pool, Jacuzzi & fitness center, concierge floor, full service business center and over 12,000 sq ft of meeting/event space.

Right at the southwest corner of Littleton and the Denver suburbs stands the elegant new Holiday Inn Express, in a semi-rural location alongside the 470 Freeway, with many of its 76 rooms having nice views over the Rocky Mountain foothills. There are several golf courses & country clubs nearby, and Denver's famous Red Rocks Amphitheater is 8 miles north. All the usual Holiday Inn Express amenities are present: free continental breakfast, a pool (indoor), sundeck, fitness center, Jacuzzi and guest laundry. Outlets within walking distance include a supermarket, several other stores and a selection of restaurants.

For high quality, extended stay accommodation in south Denver, the Staybridge Suites is a good choice - a new hotel with excellent staff and above average amenities built at the edge of a residential area close to the 470 Freeway, one mile west of Park Meadows Mall and interstate 25. There are 115 suites in the handsome, 3 floor building, all containing a full kitchen, executive work desk and a spacious living area. Free full breakfast is served each day, plus a free evening reception Tuesday to Thursday, when drinks and snacks are available. Half the rooms look inwards over the courtyard garden, in which are found an outdoor pool, sports court and bbq grills; interior facilities at the Staybridge Suites include a fitness center, convenience store, guest laundry and a business center. A complimentary local area shuttle is provided to places within a 3 mile radius.

Guests at TownePlace Suites Denver Southwest have a choice of 99 studio, one-bed or two bed suites, all including a full kitchen, and part of a beautifully clean & well managed building that also contains a fitness center, business center, guest laundry, and a dining area for the deluxe free continental breakfast. There is an outdoor pool next to one of the two accommodation blocks, and like most of the rooms this has fine views of the mountain foothills which rise up a mile west - the hotel is built at the edge of the countryside just south of C470, near the mouth of Deer Creek Canyon. The immediate surroundings are mostly undeveloped but many shopping/dining outlets can be found one mile away on the north side of the freeway, along Kipling Parkway.
