Monarch Casino Resort Spa - Black Hawk is often celebrated for its clean, modern rooms and vibrant atmosphere, including live R&B music and unique butterfly-themed decor. While travelers frequently enjoy the variety of dining options and the engaging casino experience, some have encountered issues with spa services and inconsistent drink availability.

Hotel's Favourite
Beautiful resort. The interior design of this place is incredible. The room had a well appointed walk-in showers with marble and tile. The buffet was delicious. They even had gelato. The casino was clean and bright. The slots were fun. All were 5 stars.

Very clean room, and casino was well organized and well staffed. Self parking was easy, and although they didn’t clean the room on a daily basis we were always able to quickly get any supplies needed. Would definitely stay here again.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
First time staying here. We stayed in the King Premier. At check in Luke was very informative and thorough, and professional. The room, overall, was very nice. Bed was super comfy, and the amenities were great. The only issue with the room was cleanliness all the way through. There was nuts on the floor, in the chairs, and on the desk from previous guest that housekeeping missed somehow. In the bathroom you could see other people’s “personal” hairs on the floor still. A more thorough check of the room from housekeeping would have benefited to a better review. Also the Nachos are not worth the $16 we paid for them at the 24/7 restaurant, and the interaction we experienced with Chesra T., who took our order, was very unpleasant.

I checked out and about 4 hours later realized I had forgotten two of my jackets in the little closet in the room. I called the hotel but at that point they were already long gone - no lost and found seems to exist. I was surprised as I thought maybe they would give customers 24 hours before the "uh uh uh the room was cleaned and they weren't turned in". The only thing good about this hotel / casino is that it is new. It didn't exist back in the days when people were allowed to smoke inside, and therefore seems somewhat nicer. Other than that, I would say not great. To get from the parking garage to the Lobby you need to take some stairs, an elevator, walk through the casino, and take another elevator. Check-in was relatively easy after we figured out where that was. At the Steakhouse restaurant, I almost broke my tooth on a piece of shell in the lobster mac 'n cheese (but otherwise tasted good). They provided a little refrigerator in the room, but it was below the usual temperature and there was no way to adjust it, so I thought that was a bit weird and concerning. The pool / hot tub area smelled awful - not just too much chlorine but also rancid / body odor smell that was sickening. All in all, disappointing. I know that it is all about getting money out of the customer, but it still isn't cheap and I was just hoping for a little better experience.

Our stay at the Monarch was pleasant. We had a quiet room with a comfortable king-sized bed, light darkening drapes, thermostat, alarm clock, large TV, coffee maker, lots of towels, large shower, and plenty of hot water. There was also a closet with coat hangers, a safe, and an ironing board. The room had plenty of toilet paper, tissues, etc. Especially nice was the non-chlorinated indoor pool with adjacent patio area that was open from 6 am - 10 am for adults only. Yeah! There was good food at the 24/7 restaurant, a fun time at the casino, and some of the nicest and friendliest guests and staff. My stay was too short.

Having stayed at large, overwhelming and loud casino/hotels on the strip in Las Vegas, this casino/hotel was a pleasant surprise, Check-in at the lovely quiet lobby was only that and is on a different floor than the casino. Your secure door key is required to get on an elevator to your floor.
Our Premier King room looked new, was tastefully decorated, had a huge bathroom compared to most hotels and included a view of a mountain directly across the street. The bed was very comfortable as was the other furniture. We enjoyed the quiet on our floor.
While we loved our stay at Monarch, we will stay in a small town that has more to see and do than gambling on any future trips to Colorado.

The Monarch Casino Resort has two of these Suites that are just spectacular for entertaining a large group of people. It is 2270 sq. ft. with a bar, fireplace, pool table, tv monitors everywhere and a butler's pantry. It also has a heated terrace. We hosted an open house for friends and family coming in the day before a wedding. The butler's pantry has a full-size refrigerator, warming ovens, ice maker and kitchen sink. The bar also has an ice maker, bar sink, and a refrigerator with wine rack. We were all blown away about how beautiful and opulent this suite is for entertaining. The bedroom suite is also large with a spa, a tv in the mirror and vanity, and the shower has a raindrop head along with the two standard heads. Just fantastic! We recommend this suite to anyone wanting to host a party. It is awesome that you can bring in all your own food and booze and entertain in style. Well done, Monarch!

I enjoyed my stay. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. Lots of outlets and USB ports. Roomy bathroom with dual sinks were convenient with more than one in the room. Reading lights are a nice touch. The multiple pillows are large and comfortable when sitting on the bed reading or watching tv. I prefer my pillows smaller and softer for sleeping and these were uncomfortable for me. Check-in and Check-out were easy and the staff was friendly and helpful. The digital room key selects your elevator to your floor. Be sure to remember to take your digital room key when you leave the room. I forgot mine and could not use the elevator to get back to my floor. Fortunately my companion was in the room and came down to get me.we had a very enjoyable dinner at the Chophouse, who were very accommodating in splitting dishes for those with smaller appetites.

Beautiful and clean hotel. We had a room far from the elevator and it was SO quiet! We did hear housekeeping around 8:30 am announcing themselves to other rooms nearby, but other than that it was so peaceful. The AC is not a loud humming one either and provided adjustable coolness. The room was very spacious, with a huge beautiful bathroom space and we had a view of the mountainside in Room 1127 (11th floor). Elevator access was unique in that you use your room key to start it up at a small kiosk at the elevator location and then get into the lettered elevator you’re assigned. Our front desk representative, Richard, was very thoughtful and kind and took the time to show us how it worked. The hotel was clean and felt new, with free parking in the garage. It was fairly easy to get around and the Monarch has several casino and gambling sections for variety (we tried Ameristar last year and prefer Monarch wholeheartedly!) This was our second visit and we will definitely return!

We have been coming here for years, first time to stay in the new hotel.
We had two connecting rooms, a grand king and a luxury two queen. Both rooms were very nice and clean.
The beds were comfortable but we didn't care for the pillows, they were a little too fluffy but I bring my own now.
We had a fridge and it was running, in room safe, coffee maker.
The bathroom was great, shower stall was nice, separate toilet closet.
No housekeeping to service the room, we stayed two nights but they were fairly fast at bringing items we needed in the room.
Casino is the same as always, not my favorite machines but a decent variety.
Employees could be a bit nicer, most seem to be in limbo. I would think by now they should all know their jobs pretty well. When we checked in the guy and gal working were very friendly and welcoming.
The buffet was very good, it would be nice if they could have one person follow you down the whole line. I found myself getting too much food to try and wasting it. And teaching the line servers that when I say 'I want two bites' does not mean a big serving.
At the restaurant 24/7, I really like the kimchi fried rice and also liked the Mezze platter. This platter has a lot of food on it.

Likely only for spa guests as in most hotels. I would always recommend taking your own coverup to pools as many casino hotels have guests walk through part of the lobby or casino to get o any pools.
Black Hawk is easily walkable to all casinos and restaurants. There is also a regular free shuttle that connects all establishments. To travel between Black Hawk and Central City however, you would need to take the shuttle or drive.
Hotel guests have access to the Rooftop Pool, Hot Tubs and Fire Pits and the Cardio Fitness room. Spa treatments are booked separately.
