The Hotel Colorado :: Glenwood Springs, Colorado

Enter The Hotel Colorado and travel into a time of late-19th-century elegance and charm. Silver baron Walter Devereux fashioned the hotel after Italy’s Villa de Medici.  It was considered a “Marvel of the Age.” The hotel was the first west of the Mississippi to be electrically lit. The courtyard fountain sprayed more than 100 feet into the air and a dedicated railroad spur was built for the private train cars of Hotel Colorado’s visiting dignitaries.

Now, Hotel Colorado welcomes guests into oversized rooms and suites, each with the original high ceilings, spacious closets and updated bedding packages. The Grand Lobby and Baron’s Restaurant were restored to reflect their original amenities. Guests may dine beside an interior waterfall or enjoy beverages near the original grand fireplace with a massive two-ton mantle. Summertime welcomes guests to the scenic courtyard displaying views of the Hot Springs and Mt. Sopris.

From the late 1800s to the new millennium, the timeless secrets of extensive journeys are held within the hotel’s walls. Join the list of presidents and other legendary figures from the past who have stayed there, while experiencing a part of America’s West.
