Fort Collins sits at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, about an hour north of Denver, with a lovely historic centre, a lively craft beer scene and miles of trails on its doorstep. Old Town is the place to stay for easy access to independent shops, cafes, restaurants and bars, while outdoor adventures are never far away. Accommodation ranges from cosy Victorian B&Bs to stylish boutique hotels, but The Elizabeth Hotel is our top pick. With record players in the rooms, a rooftop jazz lounge, live music and a lively brasserie, it’s a charming choice for a city break.
Fort Collins is an easy-going university town with loads to see and do, whether you’re wandering the historic streets of Old Town, sampling local brews along the Fort Collins Ale Trail or cycling the riverside paths at Spring Canyon Park. Beer lovers should make time for the famous New Belgium Brewing Company, while outdoor enthusiasts can head into the foothills for hiking and scenic drives. The Cache la Poudre River is ideal for rafting in warmer months, and the surrounding mountains offer a welcome escape from the city.
