Rustic Hotels in Denver, Colorado

Rustic Hotels in Denver, Colorado
Colorado abounds with an old Western flair and a rustic charm that are reflected in many of its historic and modern hotels and mountain hideaways. Denver's history as a railroad town, and proximity to the Rocky Mountains make it an ideal stop for nature lovers and thrill seekers heading out to or coming back from an adventure mountain biking, hiking, skiing, snowboarding, white water rafting, and camping.

The Ramada Inn Downtown

While rooms reflect a more standard Ramada fare, the western-style lobby of The Ramada Inn Downtown features a stone fireplace, leather furniture and rustic décor. Guests can enjoy breakfast and lunch in the hotel's restaurant, as well as a dip in the pool or spa tub and a workout in the complimentary fitness facility and complimentary wireless.
