Brand new beautiful hotel right in the heart of Boulder, just across the street from the north end of the campus. Easy walk to Pearl Street and downtown, and just an all-around high-quality contemporary and luxurious property with really nice rooms and excellent bath fixtures. Top-notch experience with friendly and helpful staff.

Very well located for CU college tours. Clean, bright and modern hotel. Dining and in-room dining options are a bit limited after 9pm. The pool and terrace looked great but we weren’t there long enough to enjoy them. Staff were very welcoming. We would definitely recommend and return.
