As the gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park, the historic resort town of Estes Park is a busy, year-round adventure base camp at 7,522 feet above sea level. And now, there’s a new hotel with bold design and modern verve to match the elevated energy of its setting. A stylish reimagining of a vintage motor lodge, Trailborn Rocky Mountains is an updated alpine outpost with an Americana vibe expressed through architecture and interior design by Electric Bowery.

The refreshed, nature-inspired color palette highlights greens, tans and teals, with playful punches of orange and red. Meanwhile, the guest rooms feature cork flooring, locally quarried stone, Fellow electric kettles, coffee from Denver’s Huckleberry Roasters and luxurious Grown Alchemist bath products.

As for the hotel’s outdoor spaces, visitors can enjoy custom furniture including Adirondack chairs and benches fashioned from felled trees, made in collaboration with landscape architects from Studio Campo. On-site amenities include a swimming pool, complimentary bikes and a backyard fire pit for cool mountain evenings, as well as the Casa Colina bar, café and restaurant. And, for a touch of whimsy, families can even book an in-room camping experience for their little ones.
