November 10, 2008 at 1:30 PM | 0 Comments
The St. Julien Hotel in Boulder recently got a shout-out from Conde Nast Traveler as the only hotel in Colorado to make it on the mag's 2008 Readers' Choice Awards for the Top 100 U.S. Hotels. Pretty impressive, considering all those richie rich hotels in Aspen.
If you want to spend Turkey Day out West, the hotel is putting together a Thanksgiving Day Buffet that is $39.95 for adults and $19.95 for children between the ages of three and 12. Seatings are available between 11:00 and 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 and 2:00 p.m. Expect turkey goodness, sweet and garlic mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables and alcohol in the form of champagne, mimosas and bellinis. Room rates start at $239 a night.

Ski Hotels 2008: Ski and Sleep Vail for Under $500
February 14, 2008 at 9:15 AM | 0 Comments
Well, the writers' strike may be over, but it'll still be at least a few weeks before your favorite shows come back. Kill that time and get one last gasp of exercise with the "Skier's Escape" package from The Lodge at Vail.
The deal includes three nights accommodations, two three-day lift tickets and breakfast daily at the hotel set in the heart of Vail village. (Your lift tix are good at both Vail and Beaver Creek.) Rates start at $1,272, and obviously there are some blackout dates. Still, getting a room and a day of skiing for $424 isn't bad, given that one day at Vail costs $92.
It's worth noting that the hotel's Spa is scheduled to open next month, so book later rather than earlier if that's a priority. The Skier's Escape package is available until April 19.

Broadmoor Hotel Updates Its Pub
September 14, 2007 at 4:21 PM | 0 Comments
Colorado's famed The Broadmoor has no lack of dining options, not all of which are as cheesy as this photo of The Golden Bee pub would have you believe. After all, this is a place that not too long ago opened Adam Thihany-designed, award-winning restaurant Summit.
But The Bee is getting the press today because of its new menu of updated pub fare. Chowder, fish and chips and roast beef are all here. And shepherd's pie is just one of the four savory pies on offer. It's a definite nod to the growing gastro-pub trend that's already infiltrated New York City, and netted some serious foodie attention for chefs like April Bloomfield.
But food alone does not a pub make. Beer is also a heavy part of the equation. At The Bee, that's no problem: English ales come in steins or by the yard, if you're feeling especially parched. You'll be singing along with the pub's piano player in no time.
