THE SLATE DENVER | DOWNTOWN
Students of the Mile High City’s past may already be familiar with Emily Griffith, the pioneering Denver Public Schools teacher who founded the Opportunity School in 1916 to provide free job training and education to “all who wish to learn,” as her institution’s motto promised. Now you, too, can walk its halls, still lined the schoolhouse is haunted.) While the high-ceilinged standard rooms, which begin around $149 per night, are fairly basic, they offer history aficionados a convenient staging ground to explore more of downtown’s storied locales while also giving them an opportunity every pupil dreams of: to sleep in class.
