Where to Stay
The Hotel Renegade* is the newest and nicest place to stay at the moment. If you have stayed at the St. Julien in Boulder, it has a similar upscale mountain vibe with a bar, restaurant, gym, rooftop and comfortable beds.
Other hotels to consider:
- The Avery — A small charming boutique hotel with a full restaurant and bar. There is a gym down the street. Probably the second best option to The Renegade Hotel.
- The Grove— Full service hotel with a restaurant, bar and gym; feeling a bit tired.
- Home2 Suites-– Newly built hotel with a gym, but no restaurant, only a grab and go market.
- The Sparrow— Have not stayed here yet, recently opened, rustic-basic-clean-hip. Across the street from The Renegade Hotel.
*(If you are sharing a room with kids or friends, ask about the shower situation as ours had floor to ceiling windows into the room and would have been awkward for my teenage sons! My guess is there are multiple shower styles!)
