The Most Famous Hotel In Colorado Is Also One Of The Most Historic Places You’ll Ever Sleep

The Centennial State is home to numerous historic hotels that have been around for nearly (or more than) 100 years, many of which are still as grand and beautiful as they were on the day they opened! To experience this history and glam for yourself, make reservations to stay the night at this famous and equally historic Colorado hotel:

Welcome to the Hotel Colorado!

Such a lovely place, such a lovely face... oops, wrong hotel!

Opened on June 10, 1893, the Hotel Colorado is a magnificent Italianate-style masterpiece that cost a whopping $850,000 to build (the equivalent of $30M today) and offered luxurious amenities that drew in celebrities and dignitaries alike.

Nicknamed "the little White House of the West," the Hotel was a famous escape for Presidents William Howard Taft and Theodore Roosevelt, the latter of which was so liked by housekeeping that they sewed together the first-ever "Teddy" bear in his honor.

Located in Glenwood Springs, the Hotel Colorado is just as exciting today as it was in the beginning and still boasts beautiful accommodations complete with standard queen and king rooms and sprawling suites.

In addition to the rooms themselves, the Hotel Colorado also houses restaurants and bars, shopping, and easy access to some of the best outdoor recreation in the state.

When you visit, be sure to take some time to check out Glenwood Springs - you won't regret it!
