Boulder Colorado: Gotta getaway
The views from outside and inside the St. Julien Hotel in Boulder are just breathtaking. For a great article on Boulder and the St. Julien go to Offbeat Travel.
This world-class hotel is smack in the middle of one of the coolest cities in America.
Boulder is not necessarily a place where you imagine a weekend getaway at a luxurious hotel, it’s more the kind of town where you imagine incredibly fit people running at 5am, or aging hippies singing in the open-air splendor of Pearl Street Mall. Ok. You got me. That is one side of Boulder. It’s an incredibly athletic town, what with the Flatiron Mountains looming overhead, ski towns right up the road, best of the best mountain biking trails, and hiking trails around every corner–it’s no wonder that folks in these parts stay in pretty good shape.
But it ain’t too hard to go off the diet here either. You can be pampered like royalty in the Spa at the St. Julien, dine at Jill’s for Food Network-quality meals, and get some crazy-good cocktails at Rhumba just as easily as you could head out the door to climb a 14-er.
My wife and I recently did a weekend getaway at the St. Julien and we can’t wait to go back. While we both love the Broadmoor, it’ so wonderful to be within walking distance of all the restaurants and shops that make Boulder such a unique place.
Next time you’re in the mood for a weekend getaway why not give Boulder a try?
