loved one is coming in from out of town to spend the weekend. You don’t have a spot for them to stay in your place, and so they ask: What’s the best hotel in town? Well, if they were a voter in Best of Boulder 2020, and maybe even if not, they’d likely say the St Julien Hotel & Spa. It’s luxurious, yet comfortable, centrally located and packed with things to do — from a world-class spa to live music on the terrace to great eats at Jill’s and drinks at the bar. You know what? To heck with people from out of town, we think a staycation is in order.
