Shorehouse Hotel - Buena Vista, Colorado

The Shorehouse hotel is beyond perfect!! We hosted a wellness retreat there. The suits are beautiful, the beds and linens are plush and comfortable, with every detail thought out. The community spaces and kitchen were great for creating a community and hang out zones for our group. The location is perfect and walkable to all the cool galleries and shops in down town Buena Vista, as well as to the river and trails. We can't stop talking about it. Highly recommend.

This condo hotel is stunning. The views from the Throne Room are absolutely gorgeous. While we stayed in November and it was too snowy to enjoy the outdoor spaces, I can only imagine how lovely a summer visit would be on the various balconies. Communication with the owners was very easy, we did not miss having a front desk, and parking in the back is straightforward. The Shorehouse Hotel is a very clean, modern and truly lovely spot to stay in Buena Vista!

The Shorehouse Hotel has thought of all the little touches that make a space feel welcoming, anticipating the needs of visitors in only the way well-thought-out design and considerate hospitality can pull off. It's the perfect base to enjoy the beating heart of Buena Vista, get out on adventures, and return to spacious comforts of an upscale boutique hotel.

As a professional travel advisor who has experienced everything from ultra luxury safari villas in South Africa, to camping in hammocks in the Amazon jungle, and everything in between, I feel that the Shorehouse Hotel is a unique, character-rich stay that provides high value-for-quality, soulful hospitality, space for independence, and enhances its natural assets of outstanding views and location.

Absolutely perfect experience! The suite was far more than we expected--it was decorated so charmingly, extremely thoughtfully appointed and a seamless/fantastic stay. We stayed in the Daisy Chain and it was beyond cozy and cute.

We had originally hoped to book at the Surf Hotel, but after staying here I'm SO glad we wound up at Shorehouse instead. It's more central to most of the shops and restaurants ... plus you have an entire suite with a full kitchen, spacious bathroom and seating area. You also get a sweet and cosy balcony to stargaze from. The furnishings were outstanding and we slept so well!

From check in to check out, we had the easiest and best time. We left utterly impressed and hoping to return!

My husband and I recently visited the Shorehouse Hotel while enjoying a little staycation here in Buena Vista and WHAT A TREAT! Sitting just above Main St. with great coffee, restaurants and boutique shops just steps away, the location cannot be beat. And while there is plenty to see and do in the area, chances are you'd be just as pleased to never leave the hotel. With every detail thoughtfully considered- from the kitchen, to laundry in unit, to day towels for your adventures, candles and fancy coffee machines- it's evident that this apartment-style suite was curated with great intention. Just like every amenity has been considered, the art found throughout each individually styled suite will leave you captivated and inspired. The Shorehouse Hotel brings elevated design, hospitality and comfort to Buena Vista and gets 5 stars across the board!

An unforgettable experience at the Shorehouse Hotel! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My stay at the Shorehouse Hotel was simply extraordinary. From the moment you arrive, you are enveloped by the beauty of the place. The design of the hotel is modern and elegant, but without losing the cozy touch that makes you feel at home. Every corner is cared for with so much detail that it is impossible not to admire the architecture and decoration.

What really elevates the experience is the breathtaking scenery surrounding the hotel. The views are spectacular, especially at sunset. Enjoying a coffee or wine on the terrace while gazing at the horizon is an experience that words can't describe - it's the perfect place to unwind and relax!

I stayed in the Throne Room at the Shorehouse in early October. The room is beautiful, well decorated, and very modern. The building and the flat have an industrial feel, which marries well with the interior design. The view is phenomenal from all rooms, with views of the Collegiate Peaks on one side of the flat and of the hill across the river on the other side. The layout is accommodating, particularly for a family or two couples. Both suites and both baths are large and inviting. The common area also had a very nice layout, with great finishes. The flat was very quiet during the day and night, which is great given its central location to the hustle and bustle of Main Street. The flat is adorned with product from local businesses, including the business that sits below the flat itself, and are available for purchase. We did not buy anything ourselves, but it was a nice touch in case you forgot something (toothbrush, socks, robe).

The dedicated parking was a bit confusing, as it looks like there are only three spots available for guests, while the other four spots are reserved for bank staff and customers. Ultimately, however, if the dedicated parking is full, there is ample street parking.

I have only one complaint--door locks to the flat and to balconies. The exterior doors can be entered with a code on a pin pad. To get into the flat itself, there is a second pin pad where you again enter the code. When we arrived, the three balcony doors were closed but unlocked and a window was left open. Most importantly, the door to the flat does not lock automatically. Once shut, the door stays unlocked until you enter the code again and hit the "lock" button if leaving the flat. You can also lock the door from the inside by turning a knob. However, regardless of whether you are inside or outside of the flat, you have to remember to manually lock the door even after it shuts. While this may be common for a standalone house, it is not common for a rental that looks and feels like a hotel.

When I brought this up to the hotel, the response was that Buena Vista is a very safe town, and not having to lock up is a part of the experience that's purely Buena Vista. It was clear that this was done by design. Ultimately, the flat was very nice and the stay went without incident. The owners certainly have done a nice job of highlighting a distinct design and the beautiful natural surroundings of the flat and the building. Buena Vista or not though, I'd prefer the certainty of locked doors before arriving and not worrying about whether I locked the doors when going out. Both of these could be easily addressed.
