Colorado hotel resort within 2.5 hours of Denver.

Buena Vista is nice, senic, and off the i70 corridor so not swamped with people in the summer.

Stayed at the Surf last year for a night making our way through before a wedding and it was a nice place. Timed right might even catch a good band.

I manage a Vrbo condo right in heart of Breckenridge if a non hotel has any interest. Pretty booked up for summer but have 1 opening Aug 3-7th. PM me and I can give you more details if interested.

My wife and I want to get away to the Rockies for a long weekend towards the end of summer for our anniversary. We love Montana and Wyoming but flying there from Atlanta or Chattanooga will eat up an entire day of travel each way. Flying into Denver is cheap and easy. Can some folks familiar with the area please give me a rundown of some nicer luxury hotels/resorts and towns in the mountains within a 2 to 2.5 hour drive of the Denver airport? We love the Broadmoor but it’s actually booked that weekend. I’m considering Breckinridge or Vail it I don’t even recognize any of the hotels in Breckinridge. I am open to all suggestions including other locations within a decently short drive of Denver. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for all the suggestions. We have just booked our flights. Looking hard at Sonnenalp or ritz in vail or the Stanley in Estes park

Vail is way better than Estes.

We just stayed the last 6 days in Steamboat Springs. Will be driving home in Tennessee and plan on spending the day in Estes Park and the Stanley Hotel. We have really liked it here at the Wyndham resort. It has been quiet and peaceful for sure.

Just booked the Sonnenalp in Vail. I love Estes, though.

Don't go to the Glenwood Hotsprings. You'll be disappointed. Glenwood isn't that great either. Look up Devils Thumb in Tabernash.

Another vote for Steamboat Springs. Make sure to visit the Strawberry Hot Springs just north of town.

I’ve heard great things about Devil’s Thumb

It is pretty, but be careful with the restaurant - my wife and I accidentally had the most expensive meal of our life. 10+ years later it still smarts a bit.

Holy Jesus, I'm far from broke, but some of you guys are either high rollers, or just slaves to your wives.

Any tips/advice/places not to miss in or around Copper Mountain? Going to be vacationing there the last week of July. Basically staying for little cost due to a relative having a VRBO there. Couldn't pass it up.

Agree, but 600ish a night? Nuts, and you're talking to a guy who has traveled the world, in shitholes, and high end places.

I’m paying $300 less for the sonnenalp than what you’re showing.

I paid a lot less than that when I went a few years ago.

Holiday weekend pricing. See it roughly half of that during the rest of summer. Still not cheap though.

Don’t look at what it costs January-March.
