Best Pool Hotels in Boulder

Sitting just steps from the beloved Boulder Creek Path in downtown Boulder, the St Julien Hotel & Spa earns rave reviews for its beautiful design, ideal location and friendly staff. The majority of guests have nothing but good things to say about St Julien's spacious rooms, which come stocked with a minibar, Italian linen, flat-screen TVs and complimentary wireless Internet access. The on-site spa was also a big highlight, boasting a long list of facials, massages, body treatments and other beauty services. Not only does this hotel shine as a hub for R&R, but it also caters to gourmands with its restaurants – Jill's and T-Zero Lounge.

Despite its name, the Renaissance Boulder Flatiron Hotel is actually located in Broomfield, Colorado, on the northwestern edge of Denver's urban sprawl. No matter: Guests say that despite its distance from downtown Boulder, this Marriott-affiliated hotel is worth the drive. Visitors love the large rooms, which feature spectacular views of the Rocky Mountain foothills, along with flat-screen TVs, wireless internet access and minifridges. The trendy Flatz Restaurant and Lounge also boasts some memorable vistas, which you can enjoy while dining on gourmet Rocky Mountain cuisine made from local ingredients. And though on-site amenities like the indoor pool and the fitness center were appreciated, many guests attribute their positive opinion of this Renaissance hotel to the finer details, like the staff's friendly attitude. What's more, members of the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program can use points to cover the room rate (or to upgrade to a more spacious suite).
