Hotels in Aurora, CO
• A WorldWeb.com Travel Guide for Aurora, CO, Colorado.
Aurora used to be known as a small city 15 mi (24 km) east of Colorado’s state capital, Denver. But over the last few decades Aurora has grown to become the third largest city in Colorado and a metropolis in its own right. Aurora is an All-America City award winner recognized as a community whose citizens work together to identify and tackle difficult challenges to achieve extraordinary results. Aurora has also been awarded the distinction of Sportstown by Sports Illustrated for its outstanding involvement in facilitating and enhancing sporting and gaming. Several professional athletes hail from the city, the community hosts more than 30 regional and national sports tournaments, and hundreds of acres of open green space surround the area.
It is easy to find accommodation in Aurora with many hotels and motels throughout the city concentrated along the major routes: the I-70, which runs east to west through town; and the I- 225, which runs north to south.
THE NORTHSIDE
The northside of Aurora is bounded by the spectacular and expansive Rocky Mountain Arsenal Wildlife Refuge, which houses 330 species of wildlife including deer, coyotes, owls, and pelicans. Most hotels in the northwest are concentrated between Quebec Street to the west and Peoria Street to the east. This area is a convenient place to stay for those who are traveling onward to Denver and beyond to Colorado’s spectacular Rocky Mountains. Hotels offer clean rooms and basic services and many have amenities such as laundry facilities and kitchenettes with microwaves. Economy chain-brand hotels such as the Comfort Inn, Quality Inn and Super 8 are well suited to those spending most of their time outdoors and are nice alternatives to camping since they offer predictability.
Denver International Airport is tucked away in the northeast corner of Aurora. Though there are no lodging options in the airport itself, there are many establishments within easy reach for all budgets, from the convenience and consistency of popular hotel chains to upscale luxury accommodations. All of these hotels offer fast shuttle services down Pena Boulevard to and from the airport. In most cases this is a complimentary service available 24 hours a day but if visitors are making connections at night it is wise to call ahead before booking a room. Business travelers will enjoy staying at Hyatt Place or the Marriott at Gateway Park, both of which offer wireless high-speed Internet, business centers, meeting rooms, as well as conference facilities.
THE SOUTHSIDE
As the I-225 runs south through the city center around Cherry Creek State Park and towards Valley highway, a large number of hotels are available en route. This part of town bustles with locals and visitors enjoying a cup of coffee at the local cafe, browsing through eclectic boutiques and taking in the sights of Aurora. Cherry Creek State Park is well known for its aquatic recreational opportunities, particularly boating, swimming and fishing. There are many hotel options here, from budget-friendly accommodations to mid-range properties. In the city centre the Best Western Gateway Inn and Suites is a particularly popular choice. It is a mid-priced hotel with a range of amenities and services including access to full fitness facilities.
