Best hotels in Breckenridge

Breckenridge has a ton of hotel options, from ski-in, ski-out resorts to places right near downtown. To make it easier to narrow things down, here are some of my favorite hotels for your trip.

Grand Colorado on Peak 8

The Grand Colorado on Peak 8 is the mecca for a luxury ski trip, ski-in, ski-out experience! It’s tucked away a little further from Main Street, but you can take the gondola right into town or a quick bus ride or a quick 5 minute drive. They have so many amenities and more of a resort like experience.

It’s steps away from the Colorado SuperChair, but my personal favorite thing about it is their slope side hot tubs and pools. They have a spa, on-site restaurants, bars, coffee shops, an arcade, and even a private movie theatre (highly recommend reserving a spot.) This is one of my favorite spots for a treat yo’self staycation!

Why we love it:

• Ski-in, ski-out
• Slopeside pools and hot tubs
• On-site restaurants and bars
• Personal movie theatre
• Onsite spa

Gravity Haus is a trendy, modern boutique hotel. It’s the best of both worlds as it’s ski-in ski-out right at the base of Peak 9 and off Main Street! They have lots of modern amenities like a restaurant and bar with great food and cocktails, a cute coffee shop, a dry sauna, and a gear rental shop.

Why we love it:
