Hotels in Grand Junction
• A WorldWeb.com Travel Guide for Grand Junction, CO, Colorado.
Grand Junction, the largest city in western Colorado, is a vital gateway to exploring the natural beauty of both south west Colorado and north eastern Utah. Surrounded by stunning red rock mesa and tall peaks, it’s also known as a prime location to explore Colorado’s wine country.
This smaller city has a suburban feel to it as it lacks big city issues like crime and traffic, but Grand Junction is still a dynamic, thriving community with a distinct vibe—visitors can enjoy excellent dining, shopping, as well as plentiful arts, attractions and events. Outdoor activities are a big draw in this area too—including mountain biking, river rafting, fossil digging and skiing.
ORIENTATION
Grand Junction is well connected to the rest of Colorado as well as Utah by several major highways, including the Interstate 70. Denver is approximately a four-hour drive from Grand Junction, but a regional airport offers service to various cities in the southwest United States from six different airlines.
DOWNTOWN
Downtown Grand Junction is where all the best shops, restaurants and bars that Grand Junction has to offer. Those seeking a distinctive experience should book a room at the Historic Melrose Hotel on Colorado Avenue, a European-style pensione boutique hotel that has been serving Grand Junction for well over a century, making it the oldest hotel in the city by a long shot. The Melrose offers 23 affordable rooms and a shared dining space where visitors can trade stories with fellow travelers. For a more upscale experience, visitors can head to Main Street Suites, where dozens of elegant and comfortable suite-style rooms are available on a short or long-term basis. Other accommodation options in the downtown core include the SpringHill Suites and Hampton Inn.
NORTH AVENUE
Moving east in Grand Junction, North Avenue offers a range of budget hotel choices, including several independent motels. The El Palomino Motel, located north east of the Lincoln Park Golf Course, is a favorite in the area. This family-run motel offers comfortable rooms, many of which have kitchenettes. They also provide a complimentary breakfast, free WiFi and an outdoor pool.
GRAND JUNCTION AIRPORT
The area surrounding the Grand Junction airport is also a popular spot for travelers to stay. Several name-brand hotels have properties here, including the Courtyard, Residence Inn, Hawthorne Suites and Clarion Inn.
WINE COUNTRY
For a more personalized experience, though, consider heading into wine country where wineries like the Two Rivers Winery provides elegant and sophisticated bed and breakfast accommodations within their vineyards.
