Box Canyon Lodge & Hot Springs

Seven red cedar tubs capture medicinal mineral water percolating from the hillside behind Box Canyon Lodge & Hot Springs before it empties into the Uncompahgre River across the street. This Victorian-style hotel, established in 1959, sits at the quiet end of the road near the entrance to Box Canyon in Ouray, a historic mining town often called the Switzerland of America. Guest rooms feature tongue-in-groove paneling and marble vanity sinks, providing a cozy retreat after a day exploring the San Juan Mountains. The property serves as a base for diverse offsite activities, including via ferrata, ice climbing, off-road jeep rentals, and visits to a nearby hot springs water park. Complimentary Wi-Fi and a continental breakfast available for an additional fee ensure guests remain connected and fueled. Located at the quiet end of the road near the entrance to Box Canyon, the hotel offers a peaceful setting while remaining within walking distance of town. Check-in begins at 4:00 pm, with check-out at 11:00 am.
