Yelp shortened my video sadness ....We came for a visit from Los Angeles and loved staying at the Beaumont Hotel. My dreams literally brought me here. This beautiful old establishment has been meticulously renovated, with attention to every single detail, from the ornate gold door handles to the original wallpaper designs--nothing goes unnoticed. I had the most comfortable sleep of our entire week-long trip through Colorado here.
As a family-owned and operated business, the Beaumont holds a special place in my heart. Supporting small, family-run businesses is very important to me, as is preserving historical buildings and houses. The craftsmanship and artistry of these old structures are unparalleled, and I deeply appreciate their nostalgic charm and historical significance.
Our journey took us from Glenwood Springs to Crested Butte, and Ouray was the perfect stop in between. Avoiding the Million Dollar Highway made for a safer drive, and the town of Ouray, nestled beneath stunning mountain landscapes, is an absolutely gorgeous western gem.
Another great feature for adults seeking a romantic evening away is that this establishment does not allow children or dogs. This means you can enjoy a peaceful sleep without the sound of crying babies and walk barefoot on the rugs without worrying about pet accidents. To be clear, I do love dogs and children--I have plenty of nieces, nephews, and fur babies myself--but sometimes, it's wonderful to get a sitter and enjoy a peaceful retreat in a beautiful, old-fashioned western town.
At the time of our stay, the Roosevelt Tavern was not open, but it should be in a few days. Its beautiful hunter green color and funny pictures of Teddy Roosevelt give it a unique, historical, and artistic vibe. I'm sure the food will be great, as the owners have wonderful taste. The coffee shop is adorable, and the coffee was amazing. The friendliest girls made me the most delicious caramel macchiato with almond milk!
We plan to come back and stay in the Presidential Suite. During our visit, we stayed in the Tower, which was charming. However, we were fortunate enough to see the Presidential Suite, and it is absolutely breathtaking. Brides should definitely stay here! The ceiling is gorgeous, and there is a huge picture window with a stunning mountain view on the way to one of the bedrooms. The suite has two bedrooms.
I also want to point out that this is a very clean hotel--the cleanest one we stayed at during our trip in Colorado. We stayed at the Oxford in downtown Denver, Hotel Colorado in Glenwood Springs, and the Crawford Hotel in Manitou Springs, but the Beaumont was the most comfortable, with the best mattress and excellent air conditioning! I was nice and cool, and this was the only hotel that provided a fan--the perfect fan. I need the sound of a fan to sleep soundly, and I can't fit a nice one in my suitcase.
Very accommodating and absolutely pulchritudinous historical hotel! The staircase was beautiful and the skylight was amazing. This hotel has an energy that is warm, friendly and hospitable. Each room has a personality unlike boring granola modern day stays. The windows open to the mountains and they are decorated in silk and lace curtains...the pillows were fluffy but not too fluffy they were the perfect size. The sheets were soft. The room was nice and cool. There was a microwave where I could heat up my gluten free muffin and a cute table where I could eat it. I love this place and can't wait to come back! This is more than a place to rest your head, this is a unique experience nestled in the beautiful old western town of Ouray, Colorado.
I also want to give a shout out to the most amazing gift shop that had the most beautiful handmade purses and jewelry. read more
