From Healing to Hospitality
Built in 1901, the Cripple Creek Hospitality House began life as the Teller County Hospital, constructed to serve the booming mining district with state-of-the-art care. It was the largest and finest hospital in the region, featuring spacious wards, a modern operating room, a grand staircase built extra-wide for gurneys, and winding hallways that once echoed with the footsteps of doctors, nurses, and miners.
The hospital cared for the community through the highs and lows of the gold-rush years, finally closing its doors in 1960 after briefly operating as a nursing home.
In 1963, the historic building was lovingly restored and reborn as the Cripple Creek Hospitality House, a beautiful Victorian-style hotel that celebrates the craftsmanship and spirit of its past. Each of our 16 uniquely decorated guest rooms carries the name of its envisioned purpose—reminding visitors of the lives once touched within these walls.
Antique furnishings, warm hospitality, and the echoes of history create a one-of-a-kind mountain retreat.
To meet the evolving spirit of travel, an RV Park was added in the mid-1960s, welcoming guests who prefer to bring their home on the road. Today, our full-service RV sites include water, sewer, and electric hookups, offering the same quiet setting and sense of history that make the Cripple Creek Hospitality House & RV Park a truly special place to stay.
