The Historic Delaware Hotel is a wonderful old building with lots of charm and a great central location, right in the center of Leadville within walking distance of shops and restaurants. The historic atmosphere is evident in the hallways with antique mirrors, carpets, and furniture, contributing to its Victorian vibes and gorgeous chandeliers. Many guests find the staff to be lovely, polite, relaxed, pleasant, and exceptional, often going above and beyond to ensure a great experience. The hotel features a delightful bar that serves delicious drinks and good coffee. The rooms are dated but comfortable, with cozy beds, though they are extremely small and lack modern amenities like AC, a fridge, microwave, or coffee machine. Guests should be aware there is no elevator, requiring a climb up steep, narrow stairs to the second and third floors. Bathrooms are also notably tiny. Some feel the price can feel steep for what is offered, noting the experience is more about historic character and charm than modern comfort or polished amenities. Overall, it is a historic hotel worth visiting for the old Leadville vibe and unique experience.
Amazing location, close to everything in Leadville. Beautiful antiques in lobby and 2nd floor. Very well preserved from the late 1800's, a HISTORIC HOTEL. Great customer service.

It's well kept up. The staff was wonderful, and resturant, good food. The room slanted a bit, but it is a historical hotel. Well worth the stay!

Just want to extend a big thank you to the front desk attendant, Jill, for the friendly attitude, warm welcome, and informative historic tour of the rooms that she provided to us as we just wanted to appreciate this historic building. Thanks Jill!
