The Old Town GuestHouse was newly built in 1997
as a bed and breakfast. The three story brick building
is in perfect harmony with the 1859 period construction
of the historic Old Colorado City .
The
GuestHouse is located on the site of the 1892 city hall,
fire station and jail which was surrounded by saloons,
gambling parlors and brothels. Ongoing restoration of
Old Colorado City has enhanced its beauty without
diminishing its charm.
The
streetscape that greets you as you walk out the front
door of the inn...
will welcome you to this wonderful experience.
Old
Colorado City was founded in 1859 as a "Pikes Peak or
Bust" gold rush town. The original building burned
in 1990. Today the GuestHouse stands at the gateway to
Old Colorado City , the "heartbeat of Colorado
Springs."

The
GuestHouse contains modern amenities which set a new
standard for bed and breakfast travelers. The foyer has
an elevator to facilitate access by all guest to all
areas of the inn. Our African Orchid room has been designed and equipped to exceed ADA requirements for hotel accommodations. It's spaciousness makes moving within the room a snap, the roll-in shower is big enough for two and all controls are within easy reach whether seated or standing. Other details, too numerous to mention, complete the ADA amenities yet the room remains one of our most popular rentals - perhaps its the four poster, mosquito netted bed, or the spectacular view of Cheyenne Mt. and Pike Peak.
