Colorado road trip with hotel tips
Hotel Born, Denver
After arriving in Denver, take a few days to explore this cool city and the surrounding area. The beautiful mid-range Born Hotel is centrally located in the up-and-coming LoDo (Lower Downtown) district. The furnishings combine modern and alpine chic styles. Furthermore, local artwork is part of its décor as well. The hotel is ideally located to explore Denver on foot, which means that the 16th Street with its many shops and restaurants is also within walking distance.
Hotel Sonnenalp, Vail
In Vail, surrounded by unspoiled nature and the snow-capped peaks of the Rocky Mountains, outdoor fans and nature lovers will get their money's worth. For your stay, we recommend the Hotel Sonnenalp in the heart of the town. This luxurious boutique hotel will pamper you with warm hospitality, a first-class restaurant, and an elegant spa area.
The St. Regis Aspen Resort, Aspen
Aspen is best known as a high society winter ski resort. Moreover, during summer, the former mining town offers many great outdoor adventures in the endless expanse of the Rocky Mountains. At the foot of Aspen Mountain lies the St. Regis Aspen Resort. This exceptional high-end resort is situated a stone’s throw away from the historic city centre with its charming restaurants and beautiful boutiques.
Stanley Hotel, Estes Park
If you are drawn to the Rocky Mountains after sightseeing in the city, Estes Park is the ideal starting point. Here, we recommend the Stanley Hotel which famous from Steven King's novel and film adaption, "The Shining". The historic house with its breathtaking view is only 10 kilometres away from the entrance to the Rocky Mountains National Park.
Spring Hill Suites, Grand Junction
Here, Colorado shows itself from a different side, like in the form of the Colorado National Monument. The deep canyons and red rock pillars are unique to Colorado. The centre of Grand Junction invites you to stroll and discover the local gastronomy scene and wines. We recommend the newly renovated Spring Hill Suites (by Marriott) for an overnight stay. This hotel can be found in the historic downtown area and hence, within walking distance of many fine restaurants.
New Sheridan Hotel, Telluride
Telluride is one of the oldest silver and gold mining towns in the USA. Especially during summer, this pretty town attracts numerous visitors who admire the beautiful nature and take part the numerous art and music festivals. On Main Street, at the foot of the majestic Ajax Peak, is the New Sheridan Hotel. The historic hotel with 26 rooms is in a prime location and offers everything required for a pleasant stay.
