The Thompson Denver opened its doors less than a year ago. But the property has already established itself as a premiere downtown destination for food and drink—in addition to luxury lodging. Anchoring all of that fine flavor is lobby restaurant Chez Maggy, a Parisian-inspired bistro conceived by celebrity chef Ludo Lefebvre. On top of that (literally) a sixth floor speakeasy called Reynard Social is delivering imbibers high-end cocktails in a spacious lounge backdropped by the Rocky Mountains. And for New Year’s they’re showcasing all of it with a progressive concept that’ll catapult guests from the Mile High City to the City of Light.

“Midnight In Paris” is a $1400 package inclusive of accommodations for two, a five-course tasting menu for two at Chez Maggy, and five hours of DJ-fueled frivolity at Reynard Social—with free champagne (and late
