- Old Town GuestHouse (Colorado Springs; tel. 888/375-4210 or 719/632-9194): This three-story redbrick building looks like a 19th-century inn but was built in 1997 to offer all the modern amenities in a warm and inviting atmosphere. The overstuffed chairs in the library invite you to kick off your shoes and relax before the fireplace while enjoying a good book, or maybe a nap.
- Barn on the River (Breckenridge; tel. 800/795-2975 or 970/453-2975): This delightful bed and breakfast is right on the banks of the Blue River, its serene riverside location belying the fact that it's on the edge of downtown.
- The Bradley (Boulder; tel. 800/858-5811 or 303/545-5200): Built as an upscale inn in 1994, the Bradley nicely blends into the surrounding historic neighborhood, just northeast of the Pearl Street Mall. The striking Great Room and uniquely decorated guest rooms are all adorned with bold contemporary art from local galleries.
