“In my opinion, this historic hotel captures Leadville's charm. The building dates to 1886 and has period furnishings that add to the ambiance, although some modern amenities are missing. I think its proximity to outdoor activities and the promise of a comfortable bed after a long day on the slopes are the real draws.”
