The Flatirons fill the windows of this polished downtown Boulder hotel, which sits close enough to Pearl Street that you can walk to dinner and back without a car. Rooms lean toward the understated side of luxury, and the Forbes Four Star spa handles the heavy lifting with a eucalyptus steam room, sauna, and a full treatment menu. Jill's Restaurant pulls from the Boulder Farmers' Market, which is either charming or expected, depending on your tolerance for Colorado.

Vintage camping lanterns stand in for light fixtures, hand-drawn maps cover the walls, and the whole look lands somewhere between outdoorsy and retro. This downtown Boulder hotel sits steps from the Creek trail and a short walk from Pearl Street, so the kitchenette and loaner bikes aren't just cute touches. There's no restaurant, only a lobby coffee bar, but in a town this caffeinated and trail-obsessed, you'll rarely be inside anyway.
