Hotel Boulderado has always been an inclusive place of gathering since our opening New Year’s Eve party on December 31, 1908. As the first luxury hotel in Boulder, Colorado, people came from near and far to experience our cantilevered grand cherry wood staircase, original mosaic tiled floor, and our famous stained-glass ceiling.
Our wedding story began on May 17, 1911, when Lee Woods & Leila Leonard unknowingly started a tradition that would last over 100 years. As the first couple to be married at Hotel Boulderado, Leila and Lee began their new lives together by descending the hotel’s Grand Staircase, followed by an unforgettable celebration on the beautiful mezzanine. Since then, Hotel Boulderado has been a part of hundreds of love stories!
The city of Boulder is nestled at the base of the beautiful Flatiron Mountains. Hotel Boulderado is located in Downtown Boulder, only one block from the famous Pearl Street Mall and a short drive from beautiful outdoor locations. Pearl Street Mall is a uniquely diverse outdoor mall full of delectable dining, privately owned boutiques, and lively nightlife.
