Nestled high in the Rocky Mountains is the extraordinary Hotel Colorado. This national historic landmark is the home to the original teddy bear, a gift to Teddy Roosevelt from the maids after an unsuccessful bear hunt. This type of personal service still rings true and is echoed throughout the hotel. Modeled after the renaissance castle Villa de Medici, this magnificent hotel has been recently restored to its 19th-century Victorian glory.
