Day 346 of 365 Days of Boulderado Photos ~ Corner Bar Signs

The Corner Bar has it's own fair share of history here at the Hotel Boulderado. Before it was a bar, it was used as a barbershop and the Western Union office for the city of Boulder. Next time you are drinking a martini or chowing down on late-night nachos, pause to reflect on the history just one small space at the Boulderado has been witness to.

Day 186 of 365 Days of Boulderado Photos ~ Catering Plates

Seriously, you would not believe how many plates we have here at the Hotel Boulderado. First, there's the restaurants. Then there's the catering department (plates shown here), which have to be prepared for a wedding, conference, and/or rehearsal dinner -- sometimes all happening simultaneously!

Day 82 of 365 Days of Boulderado Photos ~ Corner Bar Bar

Next time you are in the Corner Bar for drinks and late-night munchies, check out the bar itself. There is so much detail, so much intricacy, that it's amazing. Plus, the mirror always reminds me of that one famous painting.

Burger and Beer Package

With the economy in the shape it is, travelers are increasingly looking to get as much value out of their dollar as possible. One popular way to stretch your budget even further is to purchase a hotel room package, where in addition to your room or suite, additional amenities and perks are bundled in for a marginally higher price. Take the Burger & Beer Package at the Hotel Boulderado. When you book this package, you receive the room, valet parking, and a complimentary burger and glass of beer in the Corner Bar, just off the Boulderado's lobby. It's almost like booking the room and getting the burger, beer, and parking for free! Who wouldn't love that? Since the Corner Bar has one of the best patios in downtown Boulder, try and enjoy your meal out there so you can take in the sun, mountains, and passersby-watching!

Antique Workboots

The next time you are at the Hotel Boulderado, whether it's for a drink at the Corner Bar, live jazz music in the lobby, or for a wedding on the Mezzanine, be sure to stop by the entrance on the south side of the hotel. There, you will find a display case showing off some artifacts from the Boulderado's past, like an antique train schedule and railroad spikes from the old line. One of my favorite things in the case is a pair of workboots that were found when the Boulderado rennovated the ladies restroom on the Mezzanine. We presume they date back to when the Boulderado was originally built (1906-1908). One can only imagine that some laborer decided to kick off his well-used workboots with the hope that it would be rediscovered one day and become a part of our history.

Downtown Excursion Package

Travellers are definitely looking for deals and extra value this year, and to keep up with the demand, the Hotel Boulderado is offering popular packages that bundle value and a fun experience. One such package is the Downtown Excursion Package. Guests who book this package receive, in addition to their room or suite, a $25 gift card to Downtown Boulder, which is good at over 150 shops, restaurants, and service providers in the downtown area. You can pick up a memento of your stay at Art Mart, stop in for a latte at the Unseen Bean, grab lunch at the Boulder Cafe, or try one of those famously lethal margaritas at the Rio Grande Restaurant. (Check out the full list of participating merchants.) The Downtown Excursion Package also includes $25 towards a meal in Q's Restaurant or the Corner Bar, both of which are located just off the Boulderado's lobby.
