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 the main Naropa University campus 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. We are centrally located between the Boulder County cities of Longmont, Niwot, Lyons, Superior, Louisville, Gunbarrel, Lafayette, Nederland, Erie, and Eldorado Springs (and Eldorado Canyon State Park), a half-hour from Golden, and 45 minutes from Estes Park, the main portal to Rocky Mountain National Park. Other attractions are the many Boulder labs, including NIST, NOAA, and NCAR.

We are leading members of the association of Boulder hotels and motels, inns, and bed and breakfasts, the Boulder Hotel and Lodging Association.

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. We are very highly rated, with many rave reviews on TripAdvisor.com. Your vacation will be grounded in comfort, calm, and warmth when you stay with us - you'll be a relaxed traveler. We're also a great place for your honeymoon - many people return year after year on their anniversary.

We strive to offer the best of Boulder lodging. We have 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. We offer an extended-stay discount for reservations made directly through us.

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. Our wonderful staff of Naropa University and University of Colorado at Boulder students help us do this in a way that will engage you.

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, or gluten-free.). 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.
You sleep on fine organic cotton sheets by Coyuchi - unlike the other green Boulder CO hotels.
Year-by-year we are increasing the energy efficiency of our Boulder accommodations.
We provide bath products from Shikai and soap from Kiss My Face in 12 oz. bottles which we refill. Other Boulder hotels use disposable 1.5 oz. bottles which end up in landfills).
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 eco-friendly no-VOC paints.
We are members of the Green Hotel Association.
