Colorado Resorts | Places to Stay in Colorado

April 18, 2023 Vivienne Hutton

Colorado is home to no less than twenty-six ski resorts such as those in Vail and Breckenridge; other winter activities include snowboarding, sledding, sleigh rides, snow hiking and snowmobiling. The state is blessed with national parks, grasslands and forests where in warmer weather you can enjoy hiking, mountain biking or rock climbing. Wildlife abounds, from bears to moose and raccoons to wolverines. More interested in local history? Head for either the Ute Indian Museum or the Koshare Indian Museum, and don't miss the forts such as Fort Garland and Bent's Old Fort. For a complete change, why not take a ride in a hot air balloon from South Park Valley or Boulder and admire Colorado's picturesque landscape from above?

Viceroy Snowmass

Viceroy Snowmass is the crown jewel of Snowmass Village, Colorado. Designed by Jean-Michel-Gathy of Denniston International, the resort is environmentally conscious through responsible choices of finishes and materials and is a community leader in green operations and guest service offerings. Recently named the #1 Resort Hotel in Colorado in the Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards 2021, the resort offers guests the perfect balance of relaxation and exhilaration. It starts in the lounge, where skiers coast in and out as the snow falls and fire roars during the winter season. It carries through to the restaurant, where the flavors of Colorado high country make you feel right at home. It comes to life in the spa, where you can escape and unwind after a day of skiing, snowboarding, biking, or hiking. With every elevated experience, at any time of year, there’s a certain euphoria in knowing what’s just outside: the cinematic, snow-capped mountains of Snowmass Village.

Pleasant visit

There was no room service. We called each morning, multiple times and let the phone ring for a long time in hopes that someone would pick up to order coffee and breakfast, there was never an answer. The bartender in the bar was great. The valet staff was great except when loading the luggage upon leaving, after I tipped him, he left me, a 60 yr. old female to load a good amount of luggage into the SUV,

Richie Summers in maintenance and Donae at the front desk went above and beyond for us this evening. We had problems with our room. Richie spent an hour trying to fix things and could not find a solution. He went to Donae and upgraded us to a better room with no issues. He even helped move our bags to the new room. Excellent service to make things right. Thank you Richie and Donae!! Also hot springs are great!!

The property was clean and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The game room was fully equipped with a variety of games for every age. We used the fitness center which was well equipped and extremely clean. The pool was heated perfectly and the hot tubs were a real treat. We were treated as if we were the hotel's only guests. Excellent experience.

Nice lodge

Reviewed By Adventurers11805

We stayed 3 nights at the Grand Lodge in June 2022 through an Airbnb rental. The hotel was clean and check in staff friendly. I can't comment on the restaurant/bar or gift shop as they close in early May until late June. No problem as we ate all our meals in Crested Butte, where we had many choices. The Lodge was only 10-15% occupied which was great. The location was good for our hikes in the area.

Lovely getaway

Reviewed By DaveP3441

The best part of our stay at this hotel was Thomas, the bellhop/concierge/shuttle bus driver. He was so helpful, friendly and professional. We were a bit surprised when we arrived to find construction going on. It had not been mentioned at the time of check in. It would have been a winning management decision to give dining discounts for our stay or free beverage card, or something to keep guest happy during this noisy time. The room was cozy and period appropriate. So don't expect in room coffee or refrigerator or microwave. We were disappointed to find dusty wood work in the bathroom but could chalk that up to staff shortages. With the exception of one evening bar tender the entire staff was wonderful, professional and very helpful. Thomas was the delight and Carol at the front desk was very helpful as well. I would hold off making reservations until the remodel is complete. Unless there is an incentive to book now.
