St Julien Hotel & Spa

The first new hotel in downtown Boulder since the Boulderado debuted in 1909, the swank St Julien instantly raised the bar for lodging in Boulder when it opened in 2005. The flagstone and Norman brick exterior, accented by patina copper and red roof tiles, sheaths a sumptuous lobby and exquisite guest rooms, averaging a healthy 400 square feet each. Everything from the walnut floors to the luxurious linens to the premium bathroom amenities to the artistic Boulder photographs on the wall is first-rate. Honeyed tones and French doors accent the guest rooms, which feature either one California king or two queens. The bathrooms are the best in town; there are separate tubs and showers in every granite-laden one. Perks include live music Tuesday through Saturday in the lobby or picture-perfect back terrace, a two-lane lap pool, and a spa that offers “indigenous therapies” using local minerals and plants. Expect to be wowed.
