Hotel Colorado
Glenwood Springs, Colorado, USA.
A replica of the Villa de Medici, the construction of the Hotel Colorado began in 1891 and took two years to complete. Today, the hotel once dubbed “The Little White House of the West” remains faithful to its 19th Century Italian style inside and out.
Popular with the rich and powerful since day one, it is the hotel’s connection with the “teddy bear” for which it is most famous. Indeed, it is likely that it was here that the famous children’s toy was invented – President “Teddy” Roosevelt being presented with a stuffed toy bear by staff during a visit in 1905.
Other notable visitors include William Howard Taft (1909), and the “unsinkable” Molly Brown.
More information to be uploaded soon.
