If you're looking for a place to relax, look no further with modern day luxury and western hospitality, these Colorado “must visit's” won't disappoint! ** If anyone is wondering why The Stanley Hotel is not on this list, it's because I have stayed there many times and although it is a historic, beautiful hotel, I personally do not feel it's as “ haunted” as the media portrays it to be. It is often recommended as a “must visit” location, therefore in my opinion doesn't need to be on my list of recommendations. Disclaimer* Any products I recommended may have affiliated links.

Easily walkable - if you're like me and enjoy walking, yet even after visiting for years I still find parts of the city I never knew existed.
