I tend to have an eye for quality decor and think that it can really make or break a hotel. At this property, all I wanted to do was hang out in the lounge areas throughout the hotel or in my suite and watch the snow fall outside, it was such an incredible atmosphere both in the main area and in the hotel suite. The thoughtful layout and sweet arrival gifts made my visit truly extraordinary. In my opinion, this is the best hotel I’ve visited yet in Boulder (yes, even comparing to St. Julien). Even though this property was right on the main drag, within walking distance to Pearl, I could not hear any noise outside my window, nor above or below me (St. Julien, I heard everything outside my window – there was a cocktail reception and it was miserable since I had to be up at 3am for a half Ironman race). So with that said, I can really appreciate the Embassy Suites by Hilton Boulder for not only their eclectic and elegant decor, spacious rooms and delicious cuisine, but the fact that despite their close proximity to everything in Boulder, it remains a quiet escape for rest and relaxation, even with their complementary evening cocktails down in the bar area (which, such a great perk by the way).
