Have you ever been to a place that's so special, you aren't quite sure if you should tell people about it or not? That's how we feel about Creede. It's a beautiful, quiet, retreat from modern America-a quaint, old mining town, far enough up in the mountains that it almost seems to have escaped the past century.
No chain restaurants, no malls, no stoplights-just a little community, surrounded by the canyons, cliffs, and creeks of the San Juan Mountains. The Creede Hotel is the town's oldest lodging and dining establishment, and it's right in the middle of town, on Creede's picturesque Main Street. The Hotel offers four distinct rooms throughout the summer.

History
Report
Virtually no one lived in Creede in the late 1880s, but by 1892, the silver mining boom brought the population close to 10,000. Creede was a rowdy mining camp town. As the song goes, "It's day all day in the daytime, and there is no night in Creede." There were nearly a hundred "hotels" at the time, and the Creede Hotel, which was then Zang's Hotel (after its owner), was considered one of the town's finest.
Rooms
Report
The Creede Hotel is a small inn, with four restored guestrooms in the original historic 1892 building on Creede's Main Street. All of the rooms have a private bathroom. Two of the upstairs guestrooms share a balcony overlooking Main Street. It's the perfect place to people-watch, or to enjoy a quiet cup of morning coffee.
