The Holiday Chalet Victorian

I absolutely loved this place!! I stayed in the Helena suite and it was absolutely beautiful. There was a small kitchen, a sun room and a cute little bathroom. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Incredibly accommodating in every way!! It really felt like home away from home. I’ll be staying here again whenever I have the opportunity!!

This was such a beautiful and unique place to stay. I want to come back again so I can see more of the gorgeous rooms. There is just so much history and personality to the place.

We visit Denver often and just found our new favoriate place to stay! We stayed in the Albert Suite 1 and it was wonderful. The bed was like sleeping on a big, giant, fluffy cloud. I kept waking up, but in a good way . . . "It's only 2:00 am? I feel like I have been sleeping for hours!" If you're not from around here, the location may be a bit off-setting, but you just have to get used to a little Colfax road noise (which dies down around 10:00 pm) and take advantage of the lovely neighborhoods surrounding the Chalet. Pete's 24 hour diner is just down the block and you shouldn't miss it! 81 (?) years in business and still serving great food! The Holiday Chalet is charming, old world class!

For the price, I couldn’t beat it, however safety of the surrounding community was a concern. Also the parking available was an issue. After a long day, driving around and around trying to find safe parking near the hotel was an issue.

It is a great old house and our room was spacious and clean, with a really comfortable bed and a great little sitting room. There is also a small kitchen, with a full-sized fridge which was stocked with everything you would need to cook a meal. We were there for only 1 night, attending a concert at a nearby venue, so we checked in around 5 PM and checked out at 5 AM the following day. Although I had some knowledge of the area, I was a bit taken aback by the homeless population. My daughter and I were not harassed at all, but given that parking is on the street, we were super vigilant and cautious. The small amount of interaction we had was just a polite greeting, completely non-threatening. This being said, I would stay again. Checking in and out was super easy, the rate was reasonable, the room and hallways were clean, the Wi-Fi worked well, and there was security on the premises. I do think it is important for folks to google the area so they are prepared. I would not recommend it to a person traveling alone.

Great hidden gem. The beds were very comfortable, plenty of hot water and good pressure. The host was great, she answered all of our questions completely and promptly. Other reviews mention Colfax being a bit sketchy. This street is a main thoroughfare, however, the neighborhood on either side of the road is beautiful with tree-lined streets and beautiful old houses. For us, the area is a fun mix of beauty, history and access to activities. We had fun and would gladly stay here again.

‘The Chalet’ is one of the coolest places to stay. Randee does an incredible job making the ‘chalet’ beautiful and filled with love. It is a Classic Brownstone Denver Mansion built in 1896 during the Golden Architectural Age and became one of the firsts BnBs in Colorado (property taxes forced the owner to rent rooms to survive.) Today The Holiday Chalet stands as a memorial to a time when excellence and architectural elegance mattered. The Holiday Chalet is a once in a lifetime experience you should enjoy fully.

Easy to check in & out. Room was clean The Hotel was in a noisy area. Lot of homeless people around the Hotel asking for money. I also felt like the Hotel was more like a Hostel than a Hotel. Definitely over priced. I liked the room I stayed in, but unfortunately I wouldn't stay there again.

The hotel itself was beautiful and well cared for, our room was quiet and comfy. It was at the edge of a residential neighborhood however Colfax is the Main Street there so liquor, convenience and pawn shops dirty cityscape. The owner was very meticulous with keeping things nice. (Blowing the sidewalk out front, security greeted us each time, very secure check in)
