About Breckenridge

What are the best hotels in Breckenridge?

Breckenridge is a classic Colorado mountain town, with an historic Main Street full of independent shops, cafes and bars, surrounded by the impressive peaks of the Rockies. It’s a brilliant spot for an outdoorsy break, with everything from family-friendly lodges and self-catering apartments to luxury resorts and sociable hostels. For something with real character, The Carlin is a standout, with its chalet-style suites, wood-fired restaurant and underground tavern, while Welk Resorts the Ranahan is a great pick for families looking for spacious accommodation and plenty of facilities.

There’s much more to Breckenridge than skiing, although the slopes are hard to resist in winter. Take a wander down historic Main Street, pop into the local shops and galleries, or learn about the town’s gold-mining past at the Barney Ford House Museum. When the snow melts, the surrounding mountains are perfect for hiking and mountain biking, while the Blue River is a favourite for kayaking and rafting. There are also golf courses nearby, lots of good places to eat and a lively après-ski scene. If you can, time your visit to coincide with one of the town’s festivals.
