Boulder Bed and Breakfast in Boulder Colorado - We Lead Boulder Hotels in Sustainability

Boulder Inn at the foot of the Flatirons

Our Boulder Colorado Bed and Breakfast is located downtown between the Pearl Street Mall to the north, the Twenty-Ninth Street Mall to the East, the University of Colorado and Naropa University to the south, and, of course, the Rockies to the west. There are wonderful mountain trails within a couple miles, with stunning panoramic views of the Continental Divide (or an intimate canyon with beautiful rock formations and many stream-crossings en-route to a secluded meadow), and the beautiful Boulder Creek Path a couple hundred yards away.

The Briar Rose Bed and Breakfast attracts a wonderful variety of guests from all around the world. Breakfast is a time of stimulating conversations with remarkably interesting people, or an intimate breakfast for two on our sun-porch. Fresh flower arrangements are everywhere, and the gardens are lovely in Spring through the Fall (and still pleasant in the Winter, which has its own quiet charm when fresh white snow blankets the ground.) We offer a large assortment of wonderful fresh organic loose-leaf tea, served any time of day with our homemade shortbread butter cookies.

The Boulder lodging we offer consists of ten guest rooms, each with its individual character and amenities. Finish elements vary by room (hardwood floors, bathtubs, skylights, writing desks, sofa sleepers, fireplaces, etc.). For those wishing to conduct business during their stay, high-speed wireless is available throughout, and our common area features two guest computers with print, fax, copy and scan capability.

Boulder has lots of great restaurants (some requiring long advance reservations), and as concierge we delight in helping visitors find what they are looking for, be it Thai, Indian, Northern Italian, Organic, Vegetarian, Fresh, or the famous Boulder-Dushanbe Teahouse.

As host we extend kindness to whoever walks in the door, whether guests or not. Our hospitality is expressed each moment in taking care of those things that call for it.

We intend to be the Boulder Colorado Hotels eco leader. We continuously evolve how we make travel sustainable. For example:

We serve organic breakfasts (catering to guests' dietary needs whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, etc.). You can count the number of Colorado bed and breakfasts on one hand that offer this, and you will not find this at all in the other Boulder CO lodging offered at this time.
We fund our Environmental Development Plan with one percent of annual revenues (before expenses). This plan sets forth our intentions as to which capital expenditures we will make to reduce the environmental impact of our Boulder Colorado lodging.
You sleep on fine organic cotton sheets by Coyuchi. You will not find this at the other green Boulder CO hotels.
Year-by-year we are increasing the energy efficiency of our Boulder accommodations.
We offer a wonderful selection of fine loose-leaf organic teas—the only Boulder Bed and Breakfast to do so.
We use environmentally friendly cleaning products.
We recycle paper, glass, metal, and plastic.
We compost our food and yard waste.
We use low-VOC paints.
