The picturesque town of Breckenridge is an original old mining town that was established in 1859. There are vast choices of accommodation ranging from expensive full service 5 star slope-side hotels and condominiums to B & Bs, motels and rental town homes.
Just steps from the nearest lift the Great Divide Lodge has deluxe accommodation in large hotel suites. All suites have mountain views, room service, movies on demand, luxury bathrooms and wireless internet.
The ski in ski out Riverbend Lodge features stylish two and three bedroom condominiums all with fully equipped kitchens, living rooms with open fireplaces and private balconies. The lodge has an outdoor hot tub, undercover car parking, wireless internet and an on call guest shuttle bus.
The River Mountain Lodge at Breckenridge is centrally located just steps from Main Street offering accommodation in hotel rooms and two, three and four bedroom condominiums. All the condominiums have full kitchens, large sitting rooms, private balconies, daily housekeeping and ski storage lockers. The lodge has an outdoor heated swimming pool and communal lounge and bar in the main lobby area. The free ski shuttle bus stop is opposite the lodge.
There may seem to be luxury condos and hotels everywhere but unlike many other resorts those on a lower budget are still well accommodated for at Breckenridge. The 3 star hotel Ten Mile Suites won't break the budget but still caters for all requirements and has beautiful views of the slopes.
The 2 star Aplenrose Condominiums have a hot tub, sauna and large common area while the Victorian Quarters town house sleeps 10 and is just steps away from Main street.
Just 2 miles out of town the economical and comfortable Baldy Mountain Town homes offer peace and quiet while not being too far from all the action.
A free bus service travels throughout the town to the base of the ski and snowboard area constantly throughout the day. In 2009 the Breck Connect Gondola commenced operations linking downtown Breckenridge with the base areas of Peaks 7 and 8. The eight passenger gondola provides quick and easy access to the mountain departing from the main Gondola North parking lot and stopping at both bases.
