Guide to 3, 4, and 5-Star Hotel Resorts in Colorado

Renaissance Denver Central Park Hotel Room

There are luxury hotels in Colorado for skiers, outdoors enthusiasts, city dwellers, and everyone else in cities scatted throughout the state. Many travelers enjoy indulging in the best accommodations, and the Centennial State has plenty of options in the four and five-star range.

What is a Hotel’s Star Ranking?

Unlike Europe where hotel stars are awarded by local government and independent agencies, the ranking system in the United States is different. Travel websites, travel guidebooks, tourism companies, and others in the industry each have their own way of designating how many stars a hotel gets.

It can get a little confusing because you might see different numbers of stars for a property between one company and another. However, overall, the varying levels aim to meet the same standards.

What Each Star Level Means

Steamboat Springs’ Luxury Hotels, CO
Steamboat Springs’ Luxury Hotels.

Here is what each star level equates to when it comes to hotel quality and the number of amenities.

One-Star Rating: These hotels are equipped with the bare minimum for an overnight stay. A bed, running water, and a door with a lock. There aren’t many (if at all) amenities and don’t have a restaurant on-site, but there’s typically at least one within walking distance.

Cleanliness might be questionable, and the front desk could be the sole full-time employee. Many travel agencies don’t even acknowledge these hotels, they are more of a pit stop for road trippers who need a night to get some sleep.

Two-Star Rating: Properties with two stars are a slight bump up from one-star hotels. These often have at least a basic phone and TV in the room and are usually part of a chain brand. Customer service at the front desk might be open 24-hours. A dining area or simple on-site restaurant is usually present, even though it might just offer continental options.

Three-Star Rating: Three-star properties include the more upscale chain hotels like the Marriott or DoubleTree, and typically attract business travelers. They are more comfortable and fashionable than two-star places and have at least one community amenity like an on-site pool or gym. Cleanliness is usually pretty good, and these properties often have security.

Four-Star Rating: These large, upscale, fully-staffed hotels provide a lot of comfort and those final touches like fancy bedding and toiletries. Rooms are spacious, stylish, and have all the essentials plus a few extras like a mini-fridge or microwave. Four-star places can have a concierge service, fine dining options, a spa service, a fitness center, multiple pools, and at least one on-site restaurant.

Five-Star Rating: Five-star hotels and resorts are the creams of the crop. They are elite properties that are often large, have top-notch customer service, and are designed so that guests don’t have to lift a finger during their stay.

The lobbies are extravagant and the rooms are spacious, modern, and have lots of in-room and on-property amenities. Restaurants at these places are gourmet, classy, and serve some of the best food that money can buy.

Even though the star-rating system can be unclear, it should be easy enough to tell which ballpark they fall in before booking based on former guest reviews and listed amenities.

Built in 1909, The Stanley Hotel is one of the most dated hotels in the Estes Valley area, and is well-known as being the inspiration for Stephen King’s “The Shining.” This historic property offers stunning mountain views and upscale amenities, including space for events, gift shops, and restaurants.

Inside the spacious rooms are comfortable large beds, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. Guests that own Teslas enjoy free use of the hotel’s supercharging stations. The Stanley is also recognized worldwide for its massive whiskey bar, which houses the state’s biggest selection of single malts and whiskeys.

One of the top reasons the hotel is visited is for its reputation as a place with lots of ghost activity. A nighttime tour is offered for those interested in that part of the property’s history. Visitors who are keener to learn about celebrity guests and other stories of the hotel’s past can take a daytime tour.

Crawford Hotel – Denver
