Scene
Mid-range chain hotel with eco-friendly practices that caters to business travelers
The Hampton Inn & Suites Boulder - North’s stucco and stone exterior is a pretty common look among hotels in Colorado. Inside, the design is smart and modern with a cream, gray, and brown color scheme. This eco-friendly, LEED-certified hotel has a stylish lobby. On one side, there’s a sitting area of high-backed armchairs next to a stone fireplace and a wooden front desk. It shares the same space with the breakfast area which has communal wooden tables and bar stools, smaller tables with stylish chairs, and another cozy sitting area of gray armchairs. Overall, the design if far nicer than most chain hotels and has a lounge-like quality. The location and spacious rooms draw mostly business travelers, though families make up a decent portion of clientele, too.
