The Delaware Hotel is an award-winning Victorian bed and breakfast surrounded by Rocky Mountain beauty in the historic mining town of Leadville. Leadville first put itself on the map, though, when Abe Lee discovered gold here in 1860. The gold soon depleted, but silver was discovered seventeen years later, and Leadville was born again. In 1880, the Denver and Rio Grande railroads arrived. The Delaware Hotel offers guests a variety of sleeping arrangements.
Some rooms have one queen bed or a double bed, while others have two twins or two double beds.
The Delaware also offers family rooms and suites. Family rooms come with a double bed and two twins, and the suites are made from two adjoining rooms and accommodate up to six guests. A continental breakfast is served daily to the hotel's guests, and catered lunches and dinners are available for groups of at least 20 and 35 persons respectively. Special packages make staying at the Delaware particularly fun. The hotel's Murder Mystery Weekends always draw a crowd, and if you're coming to recreate, you'll want to check out the great getaways the Delaware offers for those who enjoy skiing, golf, or whitewater rafting.
