But visitors should be advised to not let the quaint, Old West vibes of downtown Breck fool them—the ski resort’s 35 lifts, over 185 trails, and about 2,900 skiable acres of terrain are anything but sleepy. And if you're one to relish in the afterglow of après, you'll be spoiled for choice. Read on for our expert-chosen list of the best hotels in Breckenridge, for any kind of winter sports fanatic.

Pros & Cons Pros Easy walking access to four different ski lifts Family-friendly amenities (kids' pool, screening room, and bowling alley) Condos are considered the most luxurious in Breck (gourmet kitchens, fireplaces, and soaking tubs) Cons Not pet-friendly Pricey Not walking distance to Main Street One Ski Hill place is widely regarded as the most luxurious condo-style accommodation in Breckenridge. The property owes this reputation to its spacious, well-appointed units and a staggering list of on-site amenities. Condos come in configurations ranging from studio to three-bedroom units and feature private balconies, huge bathrooms with soaking tubs, fireplaces, and fully-equipped gourmet kitchens. If you’re a true ski fanatic, you will love the easy walking access to four different lifts, and amenities like a ski concierge and gear lockers are the cherry on top. For those skiing with a half-day ticket, there are probably more activities located within this property than you could get to during your stay, including pools, a spa, three in-house restaurants, and a charming bowling alley (shaped like a mine shaft). Notable Amenities Fitness centerBowling alleyTwo indoor poolsBilliards roomMovie screening roomsIn-suite laundrySki conciergeIn-room fireplaces and soaking tubs Best for Families : Beaver Run Resort & Conference Center Beaver Run Resort & Conference Center See Rates on Tripadvisor.com Why We Chose It Between the convenient access to ski lifts, the on-site arcade and mini-golf, and a wide range of room styles, Beaver Run is the perfect home base for those visiting the area with kids in tow. Pros & Cons Pros Suite-style rooms are large, (full kitchens and wood burning fireplaces) Ski-in, ski-out access to chairlifts Complimentary shuttle to get around town Four on-site dining options (Skywalk Market doubles as a grocery store) Ski school for kids Cons Downtown is not easy walking distance Condos are individually owned, so some units have dated furnishings and appliances The one factor that makes all the difference when traveling with kids is convenience, and convenience is where Beaver Run excels. Want the option of making your own meals, or being able to say, “Get it yourself!” when your kids complain about needing a snack for the 17th time? The condo units at this property come with fully-equipped kitchens and large common spaces, which are perfect for family groups of any size. When you feel like letting someone else do the cooking, there are four on-site restaurants, all with kids' menus. If you’re looking to travel farther afield for food and entertainment, there’s a free shuttle to Main Street. Between the on-site activities like mini-golf, pools, hot tubs, and an arcade, nobody will ever have an excuse to complain about being bored during downtime at Beaver Run. Beyond dining and on-site activities, the most important convenience factor at this property is the access to ski slopes. Ski-in, ski-out access and lockers make this the perfect option for those skiing with little ones who might need to avail of frequent hot chocolate breaks. For parents looking to unwind with some alone time, the concierge can arrange to send the kids off for a day at ski school, while you kick back at the on-site spa—80-minute “Colorado CBD” massage, anyone? Notable Amenities Fitness centerSpaPet-friendlyPools and hot tubArcade and mini golf Best Budget : The Bivvi Hostel The Bivvi Hostel See Rates on Tripadvisor.com Why We Chose It Forget everything you thought you knew about hostels—the Bivvi has Instagram-worthy triple bunk beds, hot tubs, a happy hour (built around Colorado microbrews), and abundant good vibes. Pros & Cons Pros Hot tub with mountain views Complimentary hot breakfast Fun social atmosphere in common areas Cons Not pet-friendly No guests under 12 years old Need to take a bus to get to lifts and downtown No fitness center The Bivvi is an excellent option for those seeking a Breck experience on a budget; it is also the best place in town for the most outdoorsy visitors to meet like-minded travelers. If the hostel’s name, an ode to mountaineering equipment, doesn’t give you the hint, then the section of the website’s FAQs dedicated to amenities for thru-hikers should. Despite the low price points, the rooms at this hostel look nothing like the associations you might have of barebones bunk beds and broken lockers. The eight rooms can be booked as shared rooms or private rooms, and for those willing to pay more, there’s the hot tub suite, which includes a fireplace as well as a private jacuzzi. All rooms have Norwegian Pine beds, bedside reading lanterns, and funky, rustic decor—think Pendleton-style blankets and log cabin walls. Travelers may come to the Bivvy for the competitive prices, but what brings them back is the warm and welcoming social scene. Fellow wanders can be found nightly around the fire on the back deck, comparing trail stories and gear recs over Colorado microbrews. Notable Amenities Local beer on-sitePrivate balconiesStorage area Best for Romance : Mountain Thunder Lodge Mountain Thunder Lodge See Rates on Tripadvisor.com Why We Chose It The fireplaces, patios, and quiet location make this resort feel like an intimate and secluded oasis at the heart of Breck. Pros & Cons Pros Condo units feature fully-equipped kitchens and fireplaces Walking distance to Main Street and lifts Mountainside year-round outdoor pool and hot tubs Cons No on-site restaurant Ski-in, gondola-out access only The Mountain Thunder Lodge is nestled amongst the aspens, a short walk away from the busy ski lift areas and downtown Breck. The hotel offers ski-in access, although skiers have to take a gondola out. But the sweeping views, fireplaces, outdoor pools, and exceptionally cozy rooms are worth the few minutes of extra walking (or shuttle-riding). There are lots of family-friendly amenities at this property, but the overall feeling of serenity and slight separation from the activity of the rest of Breckenridge makes it a great choice for those looking to turn their ski trip into a romantic getaway. After a long day on the slopes, couples can enjoy the warm glow of in-room stone fireplaces, enjoy some après wine and cheese from a private, mountainside patio, or soak in the outdoor hot tub. Condo-style units are individually owned, but feature uniform, rustic decor. There is no on-site restaurant, but the plethora of options on Main Street are just a short walk or shuttle ride away. Notable Amenities Fitness centerLaundry on-siteYear-round pool and hot tubPrivate patiosFree shuttle Best for Non-Skiers : Residence Inn by Marriott Breckenridge Residence Inn by Marriott Breckenridge See Rates on Tripadvisor.com Why We Chose It This hotel’s location is perfect for parties divided between spending their days speeding down the slopes and ambling down Main Street. Pros & Cons Pros Central location just off Main Street Amazing rooftop views One of the most pet-friendly hotels in Breckenridge Cons Not ski-in, ski-out No on-site restaurant Getting up early to catch the first lift isn’t for everyone. For visitors to Breckenridge who would prefer to skip straight to the après ski, the Residence Inn is the perfect home base. The hotel is located adjacent to the lively downtown area and Main Street. After enjoying the complimentary hot breakfast, non-skiing guests can head up to the hotel’s year-round outdoor rooftop pool to take in the views, stroll around the gear shops, breweries, and cafes in historic downtown, or hike along the nearby Blue River Recreation path, which runs parallel to Main Street. For those who are intent on hitting the slopes, the Residence Inn offers access to lifts via shuttles, and a convenient storage space for gear in the lobby. Rooms are clean and comfortable, with standard Marriott-style furnishings. Many rooms feature fully equipped kitchens. Downtown Breck is chock-full of charm, and those looking to explore the area beyond ski terrain could do worse than putting themselves at the heart of this lively village. Notable Amenities Complimentary breakfastFitness centerYear-round rooftop pool and hot tubFree shuttle to ski lifts Best for Friends : Gravity Haus Breckenridge Gravity Haus Breckenridge See Rates on Tripadvisor.com Why We Chose It Fun common spaces (huge trampoline, anyone?), family-style meals, and suites with queen bunk beds make Gravity Haus the perfect place to decamp after a day on the slopes with friends. Pros & Cons Pros On-site restaurant Cabin Juice serves family-style meals Convenient location on Main Street Rooms with queen bunk beds are perfect for groups Convenient access to chairlifts Cons No pool Some guest reviews note that noise travels between rooms Gravity Haus is the perfect place to keep the fun going even after the chairlift stops running. The spaces at this newer boutique property feel a little different than the rustic-chic atmosphere you’ll find elsewhere in Breck. Rooms and common areas have a minimalist, industrial vibe, with decorative touches like barn doors and dramatic, large-scale black and white photographs. Groups of friends traveling together can take advantage of rooms with queen bunk beds, for a real “grown-up summer camp” vibe. If you’ve ever watched competitive skiers and snowboarders training flips on a trampoline and wanted to try the same, you’ve got your chance at the huge Max Air Trampoline on the hotel’s third floor. After a long day on the trails, guests refuel and unwind over a family-style meal at the on-site restaurant Cabin Juice. Notable Amenities Max Air trampolineFitness center, hot tub, and sauna Final Verdict Even if you’re a sunup to sundown skier, you won’t be able to spend all your time in Breckenridge on the slopes. The key to finding a good hotel to spend your time waiting for the lift to re-open is zeroing in on the types of amenities you want. For those traveling with kids, an array of easy on-site activities can make all the difference. For those on a group ski trip, the unique atmosphere at Gravity Haus is an amenity in its own right. If you’re still too stumped to decide, you can’t go wrong with the luxury and access offered at One Ski Hill Place.
