Luxury hotels and fine dining restaurants in the Rockies

Holidays in the Rocky Mountains 

 Find your place in the largest mountain range in North America, a pristine natural wilderness with plenty for those seeking a taste of the Great Outdoors.  

 Whether you’re in search of premier winter sports destinations, or want to find yourself as far away from civilization as possible – though still retaining something of a luxury feel – then Relais & Châteaux in the Rocky Mountains has you covered. Travel to the Rockies with us gives you multiple options for luxury hotels in Colorado, Wyoming and Montana. 

 From vast open spaces to pine-covered landscapes and picturesque rivered valleys, from former mining towns and charming villages to world famous ski resorts, all with the craggy, snow-capped peaks soaring above you, a holiday in the Rockies can cater to a wide variety of vacationers and explorers. Awaiting them all, whether in snowy months or during warmer times of year, is a feeling of escape and lungfuls of clean mountain air – good for mind, body and soul. 

The best of both worlds: dramatic wilderness and home comforts in our luxury hotels in the Rockies 

 An authentic experience of life in the mountains can be expected wherever you choose. Our luxury hotels in the Rockies include ranch houses set in lush meadows and rolling hills, stone hideaways set deep in pine forests and frontier-style outposts on the banks of rivers. There are also luxurious chalets at the foot of ski slopes, and homesteads, log cabins or even a tent on the prairie.  

 Even the most rustic of these options offer beautifully appointed accommodation, incredible services and amenities, meaning you can experience the true West without sacrificing comforts. So despite that ‘far from home’ feel, our luxury hotels in the Rockies bridge unspoiled natural surroundings with modern conveniences. 

 All our hotels and restaurants are in picturesque locations, including some in protected regions such as World Heritage Sites and national parks. You’ll discover plentiful wildlife and teeming biodiversity – including elk, deer, lynx, bison, birds, rabbits and other creatures – as well as an appreciation of native American culture.  

Delicious food, good wine and an open fire: discover fine dining restaurants in the Rockies 

 As with all Relais & Châteaux properties, our hotels and fine dining restaurants offer a gastronomic immersion in the region. From hearty fare to replace lost energy during the day’s activities, to finessed cuisine made from local, sustainable produce that expresses the terroir, including contemporary interpretations of classic dishes such as game, and vegetable-forward, avant-garde cuisine, our gourmet restaurants in the Rockies have you covered whatever your tastes.  

 We invite you to dine at the table of named chefs who preside over warm and welcoming restaurants, many with roaring fireplaces, as well as comfortable lounges for groups and sophisticated modern dining rooms. Alongside, our sommeliers are in charge of cellars of thousands of bottles of wine and armed with the knowledge to complement whatever you’re eating. 

The best hotels in the Rockies for adrenaline sports, après-ski or simply rest and relaxation 

 Having made the trek to these remote locations, we’re pretty confident you’re here for outdoor pursuits. In summer months, explore trails by hiking, bike riding, go fly-fishing and white-water rafting. Take in a classic rodeo experience or saddle up for a day of cattle driving, or take to our private trails on your own.  

 Then again, take it easy by immersing yourself in a natural hot spring, or head inside for one of our luxurious spa treatments or a yoga class. Wine-tasting, visits to ghost towns that conjure up the spirit of the Gold Rush, honing your photography skills amid the breathtaking scenery, or taking in the dazzling night skies – the list goes on. 

 Many of our Rocky Mountain properties are perfectly located for winter sports, offering easy access to miles of skiing and snowboarding routes for all levels of experience – from beginners to heli-skiing. Some properties have their own private cabins on the mountain – head there to recharge with a gourmet lunch and fine wines – while some properties offer additional winter activities such as dog-sledding, horse-drawn sleigh rides or ice skating close by. And if you’re just here for the après-ski, well, these are the best hotels in the Rockies for that too. 

Protecting and preserving nature: our eco hotels in the Rockies 

 Wherever you choose to explore the Great American West, Relais & Châteaux in the Rockies epitomizes the meaning of hospitality, our collective passion for hosting guests and a celebration of local food, drink and culture – it’s an ethos we describe as l’art de vivre (the fine art of living). 

 All of our properties also play their part in conserving and protecting their surroundings and reducing the impacts of climate change, from supporting forest regrowth to wildlife programs, energy reduction including using geothermal energy to provide heat – all to preserve the countryside, the wildlife, even the local economy. This is sustainable travel at its finest.
