The rooms
Thirty six rooms, and no two alike
Every room at the Delaware is different: a different iron bed, a different view down Harrison Avenue, a different wallpaper border somebody chose a century ago. They are grouped below by the bed you will sleep in. All rooms are on the second and third floors, up the grand staircase.
The Delaware was built in 1886 and no two rooms in it are alike. Size, bed, furniture, wallpaper, windows and bathroom all change from room to room, even between two rooms of the same type.
Every photo below is one real room, shown as an example of its type. It is not the room you will be assigned, and the room you stay in will look different.
Queen
Iron beds, deep color and tall windows over Harrison. The classic Delaware room, and the one most people book.
King
No two king rooms here are alike. One has a carved four poster under a papered border, another exposed brick and an iron bed.
Double
Two beds and tall windows. The easy answer for a family or a group of friends who would rather share a room than split up.
Twin
A small single room with a real bed, a private bath and a good price. Ideal for one person passing through on the way to a race or a trailhead.
King Bonus
A king bedroom with a twin trundle bed in a separate bonus room. One thing to know before you book: the shower in this room opens onto the main bedroom. Pictured is room 206, one of the three we just remodeled.
Queen Suite
A queen bed in one room and two twin beds in the other, off one door. The two rooms share one bathroom.
King Suite
The biggest room in the house. A king bed in one room, and two queens plus a twin with a trundle in the other, with corner windows facing the range. The two rooms share one bathroom.
Newly remodeled
Three rooms, just finished
We are bringing the rooms upstairs back one at a time. These three are done, top to bottom, and the photos below show the actual rooms. Ask for one by number when you book and we will do our best to hold it for you.
Room 206
Exposed brick behind the bed, two leather armchairs under tall windows, a wall of built in wardrobes, and a new bathroom with a glass shower and a wood vanity.
Room 210
An iron bed under a big antique map of the world, brass sconces, wood floors in the entry, and a new bathroom with a walk in shower in green glazed tile, brass fixtures and a marble topped black vanity.
Room 327
An iron bed between two framed prints of old Leadville, and a new bathroom with a walk in shower in dark glazed tile, brass fixtures and a marble vanity.
Room 316
Doc Holliday's room
A four poster bed, tall windows over Harrison Avenue, the back stairs a few steps from the door and a window onto the firehouse roof. The desk has been pointing at this door for a century. Read the story, then ask for it by number.
