The Original Spirit of Boulder at the Foot of the Mountains

A HISTORIC BOULDER MOTEL • SINCE 1934

An Authentic Boulder motel

Foot of the Mountain Motel has welcomed travelers to Boulder since 1934.

Our historic property is tucked between Boulder Canyon and downtown and offers a one-of-a-kind stay where mountain access meets classic Boulder charm. We’re proud to be unique and not another cookie-cutter hotel designed to look the same throughout.

We’re a collection of cabin-style rooms and suites with their own personality, surrounded by the landscape and local character that make Boulder special. You will find clean, comfortable rooms, practical amenities, friendly hospitality, and a location that makes it easy to experience both the outdoors and downtown.

COMFORTABLE BOULDER ACCOMMODATIONS

Our rooms are cozy, practical, and full of mountain-motel character. Some are made for quick trips and trail-focused days. Others offer extra sleeping space, kitchens, or room to settle in longer.

Each room has its own layout and personality. Choose the stay that fits your trip.

WHY STAY AT FOOT OF THE MOUNTAIN?

We had a wonderful stay at Foot of the Mountain Motel! The location was one of our favorite parts, being so close to the river and Eben G Park and it made it easy to go for a drive up Boulder Canyon. The rooms were super cute, cozy, and had a lot of character, making the stay feel comfortable and relaxing. We also loved the backyard space, which was a great spot to unwind after exploring the area. Another huge plus was that it was within walking distance of Pearl Street, so we could easily walk to restaurants, shops, and everything downtown has to offer. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Boulder!

This is one of the best places I have ever stayed and it’s probably the best motel in Boulder. Everyone here is so accommodating and nice. The rooms are great. They’re mountain and cabin vibes. You can easily walk to all the action on Pearl Street. Tif is the absolute best and she was so helpful with everything.
