Top 3 Cool & Unusual Hotels near Erie

Erie, Colorado is one of Denver Metro’s many growing suburbs, located north of Thornton on the west side of I-25. Unfortunately, the town lacks hotels, so the best accommodations reside in neighboring Lafayette, North Westminster, and Niwot.

With easy access to Boulder and the capital city, it’s no wonder Erie grew by an additional 10,000 people between the 2010 and 2020 censuses (from 18K to 30K), nearly doubling its size. There’s a quaint historic downtown to explore and ample things to do and see.

All of the following hotels will put you within fifteen minutes drive of downtown Erie, along with a slew of other attractions on the front range urban corridor. Visit the Colorado National Speedway, 5 miles away in Dacono. Races are held from April to October.
