Its affordable rates are inclusive of a free continental breakfast and wifi.

If you weren’t active before arriving at the Lodge at Flying Horse then get ready to change. The hotel (which boasts AAA Four Diamond status and 48 luxurious suites) is home to two 18-hole golf courses and tennis courts, both of which offer lessons from a professional during your stay. There’s also a pool for lane-swimming and in-person and virtual fitness classes. Rooms begin at 580sqft (54sqm); step onto your private balcony or patio and take in the view of the majestic Rocky Mountains.

If you don’t feel like cooking, head down for the free daily breakfast buffet. The thrice-weekly sundown drink receptions are a great way to meet fellow travelers.
