Hotels By City: Cheap Hotels, Hotel Guides & Hotel Blogs

Do it! Okay, let me backtrack a little. I have never tried snowshoeing prior to this weekend. On Sunday I found myself at the Ritz-Carlton Bachelor Gulch. Amazing hotel with a ski lift in your backyard and trails galore. So, I head to the pro shop, and $15 later am strapping some funky contraptions to my feet.

Off we go!

I was under the impression snowshoeing was "just hiking in the snow." ...

Hey all! Here I am in the beautiful city of Denver, Colorado, and I have the need to explore. Nay, the desire to be a tourist in my hometown.

So, with that said, let's throw our keys into the fishbowl at the virtual front door and wander off into the wild blue yonder.

First task ... finding the elusive perfect happy hour. The best drinks, the best vibe for an eclectic mix ...

Here we go again, maybe. Local newscasters and meteorologists are breathless in anticipation of yet another winter storm, expected to hit eastern Colorado and the I-25 corridor this evening.  To hear them on last night's news, you would think an impending Ice Age is bearing down on us and we should prepare for an apocalyptic wave of the white stuff.  Some reports are actually using the "B-word."  That's right, ...

Be sure to pick up today's Denver Post to get your copy of Colorado Eats 2007, or check out the online version here.  It's an expansive look at restaurants in and around the Denver area, as well the suburbs, the front range, and the high country.  Those familiar with Denver's culinary scene might notice some omissions of great dining venues, but the value of this guide ...

Since this is the 4,758th straight day that Denver has had snow cover (actually, it's 60+ days, closing in on the all-time record), and since much of the rest of the country is in the midst of a winter storm, it seems appropriate to give a little run down of random reasons why you shouldn't be completely annoyed and disgusted by the continuing ...

As Julie Dunn reported last week in the Denver Post, a new ski area in close proximity to the Denver metro area is expected to open by next winter.  Michael Coors, yes, that Coors, is planning to open the nearly 300-acre Eclipse Snow Park on the site of what used to be St. Mary's ski area.  The park sounds like it will be geared towards the younger set, the grommers and shredders and ...

Like the sign on its web site says, Vita is a terrific place to eat, drink, and live--even if you're just visiting.  Located in Lower Highlands at 1575 Boulder Street, just west of the Platte River, Vita is a bit removed from the fracas of LoDo, but still a short cab ride or nice walk from central Denver.  Offering up some innovative modern dishes with a distinctly Italian flare, ...

I am certainly no art expert, but fortunately you don’t have to be to enjoy and appreciate the Denver Art Museum. 

The Denver Art Museum (DAM) anchors the city’s Golden Triangle Museum District, along with other interesting stops such as the Colorado History Museum, the Molly Brown House, the Byer-Evans House, and the Kirkland Museum of Fine and Decorative Art. 

DAM, however, is really the cornerstone of this area, particularly ...

With family in town this week, it's been a great opportunity to check out their digs downtown at The Oxford Hotel.  It has the feel of an old hotel that you're more likely to find in Chicago or Boston, rather than Denver. 

Located in LoDo, at 17th and Wazee, The Oxford Hotel is on the National Register of Historic Places, and has been around since 1891.  It's quaint, comfortable, and ...
