Item Description

Enjoy the rustic charm and nostalgia of the past 19th and 20th centuries. Colorado became a state in 1876 and just 10 short years later the original Meeker Hotel was built. This wooden structure endured until the brick structure, with 200,000 bricks, was constructed in a six month period in 1896. The wings of the hotel were added in 1904. This brick structure still stands today as the fully operational Meeker Hotel and Cafe. The Cafe serves excellent Prime Rib! The Hotel is home to world-renowned trophies of non-typical elk and mule deer, and the lobby is accentuated with biographies of historic figures such as Teddy Roosevelt, who associated with the hotel a time or two. They also have a widely talked about painting of the Meeker Massacre, the event that established Meeker as a town. the Meeker Hotel is listed with the national register of historic places. Meeker is located in Central Western Colorado, about a four-hour drive from either Denver or Salt Lake City.
