Fodor's Expert Review St Julien Hotel and Spa

Unwind in the luxury of this classy yet casual hotel and its stellar spa, in a building where the Colorado red-sandstone exterior reflects the local surroundings and the lobby features walnut floors, marble staircases, and a golden onyx bar. Most rooms have mountain views, and all have plush, custom-made beds and slate bathrooms with soaking tubs and walk-in showers. Photographs of Boulder adorn the hotel's walls. Jill's Restaurant and Bistro serves three meals daily, and the T-Zero Lounge offers an innovative martini roster along with live music on weekends. The St Julien is downtown, minutes from the Boulder Creek Path and trails.
