The gracious lobby of this elegant 1909 beauty has a soaring stained-glass ceiling, and the mezzanine beckons with romantic nooks galore. When choosing a room, opt for the old building, with spacious quarters filled with period antiques and reproductions. The new wing is plush and comfortable but has less Victorian character. Rooms with mountain views are available on request. The restaurant, Q's ($$$$), is found within. The Catacombs Blues Bar is always hopping and has live music three nights a week. Guests have access to the nearby health club, One Boulder Fitness. Pros: well-maintained historic building, downtown location, good restaurants. Cons: on busy and noisy streets; large, busy hotel.

The Hotel Boulderado could not be better located in downtown Boulder. It has plenty of historic charm, personalized service and large rooms. It just a much nicer experience than going to one of the larger homogenized chains.
