Visit Boulder, Colorado: Come for the granola, stay for the spa

By
Real Estate Agent with Real-a-Save

Yes, yes, I know there are a lot of people who have this image of Boulder as a hippie-haven and health-crazed mountain town.  And in many ways that characterization is correct: Boulder was voted the best place to be an uberjock, and Runner's World voted it #7 on the top 25 Best Running Cities in America.

And we've also got our share of "granola-ie" food offerings.  Boulder is where Silk Soy Milk got its start, and there are plenty of health-conscious activities like the famous Boulder Farmer's Market to choose from on any given weekend.

 

But a person could also lose themselves in luxury for a quick weekend getaway at the St. Julien Hotel and Spa.  Just take a look at the breathtaking views inside and out.

It's hard to imagine a better place for a quick weekend getaway.  My wife and I recently took an over-nighter to the St. Julien.  It was such a joy to be within walking distance of a few great cocktails at Rhumba, then an incredible meal back at the hotel at Jill's, followed by some snuggling in front of the fireplace in the hotel lobby.

The next day we both pampered ourselves with a visit to the hotel spa.  And then for the long trip home...I forgot, but I think it took us ten minutes...

We like it here;-)

Dena the Ecobroker is the "ring leader"  she is kind enough to let me dump my ski pictures in her group.  :)

Thanks for joining and posting this to the Colorful Colorado group.

I love Boulder I worked up there in the mid 80's, I know it's changed since then. But it's always been a wonderful town. Bob, I hope you give us the "Boulder Tour" when you can.

And thanks to the Red Headed Colorado Step Child for jumping in~
