Top 11 Cool & Unusual Hotels in Lakewood

February 11, 2022 By //  by Marie Villaceran

FacebookTwitter

Blessed with the wealth of great Colorado outdoors in its backyard, Lakewood is one of the most visited cities in the state. It lies between Denver and the Rocky Mountains, making it a prime basecamp for city and country exploration. Therefore many of the top hotel chains in the country have a location in this Jeffco town.

The fifth largest city in Colorado, Lakewood boasts year-long activities for everyone. Though its natural attractions make Lakewood a popular vacation choice, there are more reasons to go to this city. Lakewood has a bustling arts and culture scene. In the newly-redeveloped central area known as Belmar, lies art galleries, boutiques, theaters, and resto-bars that feature live performances every week.

Probably Lakewood’s Top Hotel Accommodations

Lakewood is a rich community with a lot of recreational spots for any traveler, and hotels to accommodate. During the day, you can visit the locals’ favorite Bear Creek Lake Park, where you can go biking, hiking, or even archery. Horseback-riding enthusiasts can explore their equestrian trails. There’s also the park’s Soda Lake where you can enjoy an afternoon of boating and fishing.

Another terrific pick for recreation in town is Green Mountain. It’s hardly missed as it’s the biggest grass topped hill in Lakewood rising high over the Front Range. The 360ยฐ views from the summit make it a must-hike or bike for outdoor enthusiasts. Morrison and Golden both straddle Lakewood, offering additional entertainment and even prehistoric attractions at Dinosaur Ridge.

It’s also very easy to get around, so choosing a top hotel in the city should be fine no matter where you go. Most of the city lies on the bus line and a small portion on the light rail commuter train.
