Hotel Chateau Chamonix

Absolutely amazing! This is my husband’s and my favorite place to get away to for a few days. We have busy lives as we run an event space in Denver, and there is no better escape than an evening at the Château enjoying the private hot tub, watching the creek go by, and sipping wine, cozy by the fireplace in our room.
The breakfast the next morning is always a delight and delicious as well! Perfect private and romantic atmosphere.
We can’t wait to return! Friendly and accommodating staff and the cleanest rooms ever! Thank you all for many wonderful weekends my husband and I have enjoyed staying there and many more to come!
Thanks,
Shayna & David

A wonderful B&B! The staff are extremely knowledgeable about the area and events going on, and what they don’t know they will find out for you. They made visiting Georgetown and Idaho Springs easy – even answering questions about directions and giving insider knowledge on the Black Hawk casinos.

It was a wonderful experience. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We were given a tour of the facility when we arrived. Everything in the room is european style. Fireplace makes the room so warm and cozy. There is a private hot tub on the patio, very romantic. Breakfast were delivered to the room in the morning. We got croissant, pain du chocolat and orange juice.

We’ve actually been here more times than I can count for our anniversary because we can’t find a place any better. If you value marriage, romance, charm, fill in the blank than this place is for you! You won’t be disappointed!

Really beautiful room with a great staff. Very cozy, clean, and relaxing. Beautiful views and the hot tub was very romantic being between the mountains. Highly recommended for a weekend gateway.

We just got back from staying here for 2 nights, for an anniversary vacation.
The staff are truly the friendliest bed and breakfast staff I have ever met in my life. When my husband and I arrived, Mary made us feel so welcomed and showed us all of the amenities the property had to offer. A complimentary glass of wine was offered after we arrived and anything we needed, Mary attended to.
The rooms are very clean and well appointed. We had an off creek side room, room 102, and it was marvelous. We still had a sliver of a view of the creek while sitting in our two person hot tub. We enjoyed our fireplace which I was told didn’t come with an off creek side room when making reservations. When we were shown our room at check in, Mary informed us that our room was actually 20% larger than the creek side rooms, which I believe because it was very spacious. The next morning I looked into a creek side room that was being cleaned and it was tiny. When staying ask for room 102. You get all the amenities of creek side including a little view, but with a much larger room.
I would recommend this place to anyone, wonderful romantic getaway. I had wanted to stay here ever since the very first time I laid eyes on it. We will definitely be back. Thanks for the memories Hotel Château Chamonix.

What a nice escape! Rooms are dialed in. Service is impeccable and the surroundings are beautiful! We had the room facing the creek. Awesome view. Listening to the water running while lying in bed was tranquil. This is my second stay here and we had a wonderful time.

This hotel is all about accusations !!! Again a long explanation from the Hotel stating their policies and another accusation that they located a pack of cigarettes and a lighter on our balcony. NOT TRUE! We never smoked a cigarette on our balcony and went to the designated smoking area every time we smoked a cigarette. Where is the apology for their inappropriate behavior — no guest wants to be accused of something they did not do.

The people running this quaint hotel were patient and helpful, and I was NOT a model customer on this visit. The best and most embarrassing example is that I DROPPED MY PHONE into the narrow space between the wall and the hot tub. Tom spent probably 15 minutes using improvised tools to slide it along the ground to the edge of the patio and then walked along the side of the creek to retrieve it from the edge of the patio. He gave no indication of the irritation I’m sure he felt at having to do this. In a time when customer service is a dying art, I always take a moment to commend those who are keeping it alive!

Just stayed overnight… The town is so cool. It’s also small, so this hotel is close to all the historic, cool stuff to do/​see.
We came from staying 2 nights in Eagle, and when we got to the hotel, we didn’t realize it was 11am and check in isn’t until 3pm.
The owner aside no problem and let us put our luggage in the room while it was cleaned.
We just walked down the street and killed some time at Mother’s Saloon.

Great place to spend a night in a snow storm. We happened upon HCC in a blizzard. Kathy was warm and welcoming and made us feel like old friends. Our room was large and very comfortable. There is even a dumbwaiter to retrieve breakfast. A nice glass of pre-​bedtime wine is included. First floor rooms have private patios with private hot tubs.

We really fell for this place, though we were a little put off at first. If you can get over the fact that there are 2 gas stations and a freeway next door, it is quite dreamy. Great hot tub on second floor (first floor room was way too noisy with creaking and voices above), complimentary delicious wine, easy access to slopes and hikes, super helpful staff. We forgot something and they called us, we came back after a day of skiing and they gave us more wine and let us sit in the lounge and use their wifi while we drank it. The private sun deck, individual coffee/​espresso maker in the room and continental breakfast delivered to your room via cubby, nice lotion and soap, gas fireplace, and speaker/​volume control by bed were all very enjoyable too. Well designed and well run (if poorly situated) – Highly recommend.

What a wonderfully refreshing place to stay! Beautiful hotel inside and out. Our room was immaculate and decorated well. We had a first floor room along the river and enjoyed our morning coffee in the two person hot tub located on our balcony. They deliver free breakfast to your room which consisted of fresh fruit, juice and delicious crepes. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Free wine 4−9pm!

What a great hotel. We had a second floor room facing Clear Creek. Being able to sleep with the door open, listening to the rushing water is a real treat. The room has a fireplace as well. The complimentary continental breakfast delivered to the room is the perfect start to the day. The bed is ultra-​comfortable and the walk-​in shower is fantastic. Kathy, who works afternoon and evenings, is delightful. We had a hair dryer go bad and she had a replacement there in about five minutes. The immediate surrounding area is nothing special, but there are numerous good restaurants in Georgetown and the hotel provides menus from most in the room. Very helpful.
Be prepared for very heavy traffic on I-​70 from DIA all the way to Georgetown. Ongoing construction and huge volume combine for big delays. Just slide into the hot tub with your complimentary welcome glass of wine and the frustration of the traffic jams will fade quickly.

My boyfriend and I stayed at HCC this past weekend and it was nothing short of AMAZING. Cathy checked us in when we arrived, showed us VERY thoroughly all of the amenities, how things worked, and nearby area dining. I loved the suite we had a fireplace, private balcony with a kickass hot tub. We felt that we were really on vacation and totally relaxed. We will definitely come back for a visit!

We stayed here for three nights while learning to snowboard at nearby Loveland Ski Area. After several hours each morning and early afternoon falling repeatedly on the slopes, it was always a treat to come back to our room here. The rooms are not large, but they are decorated and furnished thoughtfully. The beds were comfortable, and we loved having the fireplace which did a great job of warming the room up each evening. Of course, we loved having the creekside hot tub to soothe our snowboarding-​related aches and pains. Finally, the warm croissants each morning were a delight.
Other much-​appreciated features included the free wifi, numerical coded door locks (no keycards to lose!), the espresso machine, the L’Occitane soaps, and robes for the hot tub. And of course, the super friendly owners!
The lobby is closed after 10:00pm, and I’m not quite sure how early it opens in the morning, so if you need an early check out, you may want to let them know the night before. Same if you need to print your boarding pass. Also, we stayed in room 105 which was mentioned in another review, and didn’t have any issues there. However the entire back side of the hotel does face a road with houses. It’s not heavily trafficked but if you’re shy you should either bring a bathing suit or wait til nighttime to use the hot tub.
Finally, the walls were a tad thin. As such we were privy to the sounds of the amorous, um, activities of the very vocal couple next door. This certainly isn’t the fault of the hotel, and it didn’t really bother us as much as amuse us, as these lovebirds were at it morning, afternoon and evening. Hot damn! Good for you two, whoever you are!

What an amazing stay. This quaint hotel located across the street from the Georgetown visitor center is not only perfectly situated next to a peaceful creek, but contains all the amenities for your perfect getaway.
We stayed on the second floor, creekside for Columbus Day weekend. We had a late arrival but Kathy provided great instructions for us to ensure we had precisely what we needed in order to guarantee a great night stay. From having the lock pre-​coded with our numeric code, to giving us direction on where to park and where to find our room prior arriving.
The hotel is clean and relaxing. Comfortable beds for a relaxing night accompanied by the light of the gas fireplace were my only requirements — this place excelled in both and then some!
The morning, we awoke to a great view of a mountain outside our window, a babbling creek, and a delicious fresh breakfast consisting of crispy-​on-​the-​outside, soft on the inside butter croissants and fresh berries.
This is a stay that will not disappoint — and, after all, just about 5 minutes from Old Georgetown.

My ex husband booked a room here in mid-​Oct a few years back in order to go skiing at Loveland. Probably one of the few things he did right. Let me just say that even though he acted like an anti-​social, childish jerk the entire time and holed himself up in the room with the TV the moment we got there (and had no interest in the hotel whatsoever) I had a magical, wonderful time.
Since it was off-​season we were the only people, aside from the owners, staying at the hotel. After dinner at a nearby pizza joint I changed into some cozy PJ’s and went exploring. This hotel is so beautiful! I especially loved the foyer and the décor, as well as all the picture frames and figurines in the halls. I spent a good amount of time that night in the foyer with my laptop, watching movies and admiring the snow fall outside. I stayed up quite late, until way after the owners went to bed. The place is magical at night!
The lady owner was sooo nice, unfortunately her husband had just had knee surgery so I didn’t really get to meet him. She’s French (he is American) and she told me a little about Georgetown, about the décor in the hotel, and mentioned the Christmas festival in December where the main part of the town is transformed into «nutcracker land.» She told me that the door numbers are from the same town in France that Joan of Arc was from, and they’re hand painted! Then in the morning she prepared us the best chocolate croissants (with fruit) and fresh-​squeezed OJ that I have ever had in my life.
The room had a jacuzzi/​hot tub on the balcony, unfortunately I didn’t use it though it looked very inviting. The balcony overlooked the creek and the morning I left it was still snowing from the night before so the mountain was covered in snow and so was the surrounding area around the creek. The creek was not yet frozen so its pleasant background sound lent an ethereal ambiance to my morning coffee on the balcony. I would LIVE here if I could :-D

This place was like a little touch of Europe in the mountains of Colorado. The 10 room inn was impeccably decorated with appropriate accessories to mimic the area in which it was located. The free form carved wood desk that served as the check in area would have been impressive if it was in a museum!
This two story establishment did not have an elevator (unless they had a private one) but since we didn’t have mobility issues the second floor was not an issue for us. If you want your own private hot tub, then you have to book a first floor room. The second floor rooms have a public tub located out on a very large deck.
Not being the «soak in hot water» people, we preferred the second floor as it seemed more private and had better views.
The room was not super big, but it had all the amenities one could ask for including a gas fireplace, french toiletries, robes, and a super roomy tiled shower. It was nice that they did not use ordinary cabinetry but chose instead to use antique styled furniture (including bathroom vanity and mirror). This gave it a really nice elegant touch. The upstairs common room was very well furnished and would have been a fun place to hang out if we had had the time.
My favorite touch though, was the cupboard pass thru that they used to deliver our morning goodies. The excellent plain and chocolate croissants, fresh squeezed OJ and bowl of fruit, was the perfect decadent way to start the day. The free glass of wine in the evening was also a welcome surprise.
My only itty bitty complaint was that the property was so close to the main drag. If you had a room in the middle facing the creek, than you really couldn’t see what was next door, but we had a corner room with side views of the parking lot, gas station and subway shop. Really not a big deal for us as this was a one night stay. It might have been a bit different if we were planning a longer «romantic retreat».

My most valuable advice is to request that you do NOT stay in unit 105 if you are wanting a private downstairs, creekside unit.
Had our experience in this unit been our first, it is likely we would not have returned to HCC. The Mr and I make a habit of frequenting a small but choice sampling of nearby hot-​tub getaways every month, so complete relaxation is our goal — it is hard to do so when the activity from the nearby convenient store is not blocked from view.
We arrived early, before other patrons with goal to settle-​in, get to Euro Grille early for cocktails and dinner then return for our soak. Once we settled-​in to 105, we checked out the view — beautiful when looking to the right along the river, but to the left found a convenient store where a small group of snowboarders were urinating behind the building. They had a pretty good laugh at their audience when they became aware of our presence — admittedly so did we at the moment. Funny or not, it’s a little irking when you are planning a romantic, relaxing eve in the tub adjacent to this activity.
I will add photos so that you can see the view that I am describing.
Not impressed, we requested a move explaining what we had witnessed but were not obliged — perhaps the rest of the patrons knew of the issue and requested to not have 105 s well? I am betting not as we noted them to be of «passing-​through» timing with late arrivals and gone by 8:30 AM while were were lounging a bit to avoid the traffic. So, foresight of HCC takes a strike in my book for not recognizing, having the option to shift us before the latecomers and not doing so. Those arriving after dark would likely not have become aware of the C-​store activities until trying to get into the tub, so it would have been a win-​win for HCC.
Not unforgivable, but the experience really took the shine off of the place for us. I think the issue with the unit can be remedied where the C-​store is not in eye-​shot (either direction) but allows for view of the river — perhaps a couple of slats?
