Hotel Colorado

The Scene
This impressive National Historic Landmark was modeled after the 16th-century Italian Renaissance castle, Villa de Medici. It is ideal for ski buffs that want an alternative to the area's typical mountain style lodges. Along with Italian flair, it offers the ambiance of the grand hotels of yesteryear.

The Details
The 126 spacious rooms and suites are individually decorated with imported Italian wallpaper, carefully selected artwork and period antiques. Penthouse suites include wet bars, refrigerators and mountain views, and the two bell tower suites feature double Jacuzzis and private dining balconies. There is one on-site restaurant, the elegant Grand Lobby Cafe. With meeting spaces and professional planning services, the hotel can accommodate events up to 750.

Colorado Hotel is the best thing in Glenwood Springs

07/07/2008 Posted by Giathebulldog

We spent 4th July weekend at the Colorado Hotel. Before we went I read all the reviews on this website and to be honest I did not know what to expect. I called the hotel early on July 4 and requested a early check in and when we arrived at 11:00 am the hotel staff was friendly and ready to accomodate us. Our room was clean, cool and comfortable. I was also concerned about the lack of air conditioning but it was not uncomfortable in the least. I did notice that the Bible was displayed and opened to the 35 Palms and a crystal hanging from the ceiling fan this sent up a red flag due to ghostly experiences in my past. I would also like to add that we took our english bulldog with us and she had the time of her life and was warmly welcomed by the staff and other guests. But getting back to the ghost story on our last night there about 2:00 am I was suddenly awaken by something touching my leg and it wasnt my husband or my dog..... I will add that the Hot Spring pool is overpriced and the rafting trip we took via Big Sky Adventure was more like a float down the river. The Hotel Colorado was worth the expereince.

I have not stayed at the Hotel of Colorado but when my friend told me about it, she said that when you go to the floor where it is meant to be haunted, the temperature dropped dramatically. She said that it did not feel like an evil spirit but you felt like someone was watching you and it was eerie and like a spirit was wandering around there somewhere. I want a few friends to stay there but they won't. My advice, you never know what an experience like this is going to be like until you try it. So, take a chance and stay a night or two!!!

Pros: A great experience.

Cons: Totally Haunted!!!
