"Built in 1886 at the height of the Gold Rush, this mountain-town hotel, whose guests have included Theodore Roosevelt and Herbert Hoover, was one of the first to have electricity. The French Gothic building with a skylit atrium has "great ambience and a perfect location" near shopping and hot springs. All 12 rooms are individually furnished and decorated with antiques and restorations of original hotel furnishings. Ouray Ore House Bar & Grille has a mining theme and serves steaks, seafood, and sandwiches. Enjoy a nightcap at the wine and martini bar Luella’s Lounge, which was named after a local lady of the night."
