If you want the nicest hotel in the area, the St. Julien is new, lux, fairly close to CU (bus or walk) www.stjulien.com
Also off Pearl Street is the Boulderado (historic, redone: boulderado.com).
There's also the Marriott, and the Millenium Harvest House as you enter Boulder via US36; most places near the campus are motels.

Chatauqua is ok, but not exactly "nice" in comparison to better hotels, and it's pricey. May be worth a look just for the setting. Also, there's a bus this summer: http://www.dailycamera.com/ci_13139680

As Gilda said, and would apply to BigR, "It's always something."
Chataqua? Definitely not glitzy, but definitely there==and maybe even out of the price range. How cool is that. LOL
And typical of Colorado, for the OP, and what BR said, DU would be "University of Denver". Must be in the water!! LOL

Don't have any hotel suggestions, we stayed at the Courtyard with Marriott points last year, it was fine. Enjoy orientation, Barney does a good job. And he sends out emails periodically during the year. Was very nice to get especially during the floods. For restaurants, there is a thread under my name with ideas. Over the last year, with a few visits, my favorite was Riffs on the mall. But there are many choices!
I have 2 kids who just finished freshman year, if I can answer any questions, let me know.

The St Julien is new and beautiful, and it's near the Pearl Street outdoor 'mall'.
The Boulderado is at the other end of Pearl Street mall, and is an historic property. It is old and beautiful.
The Harvest House used to be where pre-game and post-game parties would happen, so it got a little worn down. Maybe it's better now, as this was years ago when we were at CU.

As I wrote, the St. Julien is new; the Boulderado was refurbished a few years ago.
The Marriott is (fairly) new (www.marriott.com/Boulder), but a bit farther from campus, and IMO their restaurant is lousy. The Millenium Harvest House (www.millenniumhotels.com/Boulder) is supposed to be finished with a remodel/facelift this month (early May), but if you reserve there, you might want to ask about the room.
There's easy access to CU on a path from both of the latter hotels.
The first two are better placed for the Pearl Street Mall and dining and shopping (and both have good in-house restaurants).

Did not say it did. "As I wrote" was pointing out that you actually repeated mine: "The St Julien is new and beautiful, and it's near the Pearl Street outdoor 'mall'...The Boulderado is at the other end of Pearl Street mall, and is an historic property"
"the St. Julien is new, lux, fairly close to CU (bus or walk)...
Also off Pearl Street is the Boulderado (historic, redone)"

Someone always wants the last word. If going for orientation, stay at the Harvest House just for the convenience. Easy walk to the campus and easy return to the hotel between scheduled events. Then use the car or local bus for Pearl Street and other activities.
