    Elevate to the Mile High City! Officially, Denver sits at 5,280 feet above sea level, which is exactly one mile. A multitude of high-end hotels, chef-inspired restaurants, and attractions make the capitol city of Colorado a fun and hospitable place to visit or live. The culture of outdoor adventure is inherent with the natural beauty that surrounds the city and the nearby Rocky Mountains. You can fuel up at numerous farm-to-table restaurants and craft breweries before heading out to play at the historic casinos in Black Hawk and Central City or nestling in at one of the many historic or modern hotels downtown. Tourism has been on a steady rise, and DIA is consistently ranked as one of the largest airport hubs in the U.S. by passenger traffic. The area around Denver also has a significant CBD and food and beverage presence, especially when it comes to businesses involved in production and manufacturing.
