Unique Meeting Venues10 www.BoulderColoradoUSA.comDESTINATION PLANNING GUIDE |

Unique meeting Venues

Boulder’s venues are a natural extension of the city’s celebrated creative side — one that easily translates to stunning, original spaces with flexibility to spare.

Choose from spectacular historic venues at the wildflower-carpeted doorstep of the Rocky Mountains, vibrant properties that marry Boulder’s eco-conscious values with great meeting amenities, or high-end downtown sites with Boulder’s trademark Flatirons views.

One of the benefits of having a meeting or event in Boulder is that the city boasts meeting hotels and venues on par with those in larger cities, yet without many of the challenges that face big-city events. Boulder has a close-knit, friendly feel and a proximity to nature that attendees love. The city’s venues often reflect that unique character — without sacrificing any of the high-end conveniences and functionality you expect.

Discover more Boulder meeting venues on the following pages, or contact us at 303.442.2911 or [email protected] for free assistance finding a venue that meets all your needs
