新浪尚品

　　作为通往古老西部的大门，科罗拉多见证了太多的历史。美国总统以及铁路或煤炭大亨都曾经是这儿的贵宾。很多年去过了，他们曾经光顾过的酒店依然在讲述着古老的传说。在科罗拉多，我们为您推荐5所酒店，他们依旧焕发着历史迷人的魅力，并向后人展示着新世纪的奢华。

The Brown Palace Hotel

　　丹佛 布朗酒店(The Brown Palace Hotel)

　　在丹佛的林立的摩天大楼中，布朗酒店仿佛将客人带至了奢华的镀金时代。酒店之父Henry C. Brown 投资160万美元(相当于现在的4000万美元)建造了这座酒店。酒店的奢华与壮丽吸引了很多国家的一把手们，甲壳虫乐队等音乐人以及各个时代的名人。尽管这座建造于1892年的酒店将维多利亚风格显示的淋漓尽致，但最上面的两层却是在20世纪20年代经过翻新的，展示了那个年代的艺术风格。

Hotel Colorado

　　格伦伍德斯普林斯 科罗拉多酒店(Hotel Colorado)

　　该酒店充满着浓厚的意大利风情，酒店房间内意大利风格的墙纸和艺术品诠释了19世纪的艺术之美。1905年罗斯福总统在外狩猎时看上了这座建于1893年，有着128个房间的酒店，并将它看做是“临时的白宫”。据称，泰迪熊就是根据美国前总统罗斯福一次打猎经历创造出来，而泰迪正是罗斯福总统的昵称。

The Stanley Hotel

　　艾斯蒂斯帕克 史丹利酒店(The Stanley Hotel)

　　该酒店因史蒂芬-金的恐怖小说《闪灵》一炮走红，因而有人称这座建于1909年的史丹利酒店为美国最惊险刺激的酒店。酒店的217房间是金小说中所指的房间，即使你不在其中，你也能感受到幽灵般的刺激。如果这些感觉让你惊恐万分的话，你可以到一层大厅里走一走，或许能够缓解你的紧张感。若你对这些虚构的恐怖感一无所知的话，酒店的新古典主义建筑风格以及不同寻常的大红色天花板也会让你感叹不虚此行。

Hotel Boulderado

　　博尔德 博尔德酒店(Hotel Boulderado)

　　与一般的历史酒店不同，博尔德酒店不是由哪位巨富一拍脑门就投资兴建的，它是由当地的企业主一起投资建成的。该酒店至今依然保持着1909年的建筑风貌，甚至仍旧在使用最原始的Otis电梯，这种电梯需要在每层由专人手动操作。上世纪60年代时，该酒店曾经接待过海伦-凯勒、罗伯特-弗罗斯特以及路易斯-阿姆斯特朗等黑人宾客。

The Broadmoor

　　科泉市 布罗德莫酒店(The Broadmoor)

　　作为美国酒店中的古老贵族，它的历史始于1918年，创办人朱莉-彭罗斯和斯宾塞-彭罗斯一心想把它打造成一个“集欧洲的优雅和美国西部的豪爽于一身”的顶级度假胜地。但是，彭罗斯并不是一个古板的企业家，他是一个极端的禁酒主义者。1920年他曾邀请55位纽约的旅馆老板来到西部并让他们每人带来5瓶他们最喜欢的“科隆水”。如今，你可以在酒店欣赏“酒瓶宴”(BottleAlley)，很多酒瓶上依然还覆盖着年代久远的灰尘。(李秀雯/译)

　　Hotel Colorado, Glenwood Springs

Rooms today mirrorthe 19th Century exterior with imported Italian wallpaper and artwork.
