The Elizabeth Hotel- Fort Collins CO

This Hotel was a hidden treasure right under my nose. Located in Downtown Fort Collins CO this gorgeous venue stands firmly on 111 Chestnut Street in Firehouse Alley. There are so many positive attributes to this Hotel…let’s get started!

As you can see from the pictures, this Hotel is full of oddities, elegance, and charm. Every room has a record player and throughout the Hotel you can find records to take back to your room and play at your leisure.

On the left side of the beautiful spiral stair case is a hall that leads to the Emporium Restaurant and Bar.

We had a wonderful Staycation celebrating my sister getting married! She wanted a relaxed bachelorette party and that’s exactly what we got! Dinner was sensational! I had the Ratatouille with the Polenta. That polenta was fluffy and they did not skip on the butter, cream, and cheese! It was divine! The Chocolate Torte was the perfect way to end the evening.

The Magic Rat is a beautiful bar and lounge area located to the right of the Front desk. They have live music for your entertainment.

Through this beautiful bar, you head to the back where there is a “secret” elevator that leads to the Sunset Lounge. The elevator does not turn on until 5PM when the bar opens. This was a great way to start our evening. A delicious cheese board, gorgeous views and plenty of laughs were shared.

I would say it’s always a 50/50 chance of our hotel beds being uncomfortable and not having a great nights sleep. NOT HERE!! The beds were soft and the pillows were just right. I’m an early riser so 6 AM sharp I went back to the Emporium and grabbed a fresh cup of coffee, because two Keurig cups for three people is just not enough. Of course I wanted to sample every pastry in the display case…but after a night of fun, you have to get back to your normal routine.

What an incredible night in our very own backyard! We enjoyed ourselves so much we talked about doing this once a year. Congratulations to my sister Kristin! I’m so happy we could celebrate you in this charming Hotel!
