Host Your Tour Group at Hotel Colorado

Prepare for professional expertise in the planning of your group event or retreat. We invite tour and travel companies to make the Hotel Colorado a stop or a destination for your tour. Our exceptional staff will make it rewarding and hassle-free.

The hotel offers 4-bed group style rooms to individual rooms, Legends Coffee and Gift Shop, exercise facilities and shopping and activities nearby.  The hotel is just steps away from area events that can make great team-building activities like visiting the Glenwood Hot Springs, Iron Mountain Hot Springs or Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park.  Hiking, rafting, biking and fly-fishing are also readily available.

If you’re looking for an exciting spin on the traditional meeting, consider taking your meeting “back in time” with a speakeasy themed event. Your event can include cocktails, a murder mystery, dinner theater, and moonshine!
