The Armstrong Hotel

In the heart of Fort Collins, Colorado, The Armstrong Hotel is a charming option for those looking to explore. The hotel was built in 1923 and has gone through many iterations and now offers guests a boutique experience with modern amenities (plus a hotel cat). Start your day on-site at the Mugs Coffee Lounge or the Choice City Butcher, a laid-back deli that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. When it’s time to venture out, guests will find shopping, parks and breweries within walking distance. In the evenings, there’s a basement jazz lounge with live music, food and craft cocktails. Choose from the 45 guest rooms and suites with either vintage or modern furnishings. All rooms come equipped with flat-screen TVs, bathrooms and free Wi-Fi access, though a handful of guests describe them as small. Some rooms feature minifridges and microwaves, plus living areas with pull-out sofas. Additional amenities include complimentary bicycle rental and access to a nearby fitness center. In-room spa services are available for a fee. Recent guests rave about the hotel’s ambiance and location but note that some rooms can be small.
