The first lodges in Colorado were tents erected for fortune seekers who rushed to Colorado with gold fever. Eventually gritty western towns sprang up to serve the miners. Amidst the dust and hustle, elegant hotels grew like roses in a dirt patch. Today many of these fine old inns continue to bloom. And the mining towns offer recreational opportunities, cultural events, and shopping.
 
Elsewhere, the scenery attracted high-brow adventurers. European aristocrats came for American safaris, to hunt big game and brave a beautiful wilderness. In these spots, too, grand lodges catered to exclusive Victorian tastes.

After the second world war, veterans from the Tenth Mountain Division pioneered a new  industry in the high country, and built now-famous ski resorts. Visitors are still welcomed by richly appointed ski lodges for retiring after a day on the slopes.

Throughout Colorado, visitors can find luxury accommodations with character and style. However, not all are well set up to accommodate families with children. Here is our take on family travel to some of Colorado’s most luxurious and historic hotels.
