The four-pearl Highmark Steamboat Springs boutique
hotel is nestled at the bottom of Mount Werner making it easy for guests to
access the slopes. The nearest gondola is under 10 minutes' walk, and the free shuttle service goes to other ski resorts and town. The hotel has an indoor/outdoor pool, a hot tub, and a modern fitness
center, while the on-site gourmet grocery store makes it convenient for guests to
prepare meals in the full-size kitchens in the 23 apartment-style units. The
clientele is almost entirely families, though some couples stay here too, all drawn to the nearby mountain-related activities. Just a few minutes’ walk away, Sheraton Steamboat Resort is a good alternative if the Highmark is booked, and it has an on-site restaurant.
Scene
Luxurious hotel with mountain-lodge decor that draws families
Highmark Steamboat Springs is a boutique hotel housed
in a six-story, Bavarian-style building made of partial stone. The lobby is
luxurious but manages to maintain a homey, welcoming atmosphere with a mountain-lodge decor. Deep autumnal tones combine with luxe accents ranging from animal-print pillows to natural-wood candlestick holders. Gray stone floors are nicely complemented with Victorian-style leather chairs, and rather
than a typical front desk, guests check in at a simple wooden table next to a cozy fireplace. Other areas of
the hotel, such as the guest lounge, maintain the same style with wood-paneled walls, carved wooden furniture,
fur and velvet pillows on Victorian-style couches and chairs, floral-patterned rugs, stone
fireplaces, and woodland paintings. Most guests are families who have chosen
the hotel for its condominium-style units and can be seen congregating in the
pool area or in the lounge.
Location
Within walking distance to a ski gondola, a short drive to most attractions
It’s a convenient eight-minute walk from the hotel to the
nearest ski gondola going up Mount Werner. Outdoor and family-friendly activities in Steamboat Springs
can be best reached by car or the shuttle service from the hotel. Howelsen Ice Arena and the Alpine Slide are an eight-minute drive away. Amaze’n Steamboat Family
Fun Park is just a five-minute car ride, and the Tennis Center at Steamboat
Springs is a three-minute drive. Fish Creek Falls is a 15-minute drive away,
while Strawberry Park Hot Springs takes 25 minutes by car. There’s only a few
restaurants on surrounding streets, but a more diverse selection of restaurants
can be found within a five- to 10-minute drive away in downtown Steamboat Springs. Yampa Valley Regional
Airport is the nearest airport, about a 35-minute drive away.
