Where to Stay in Pueblo, Colorado
Pueblo, once an old mining town, is now one of Colorado’s most historic and culturally diverse cities, boasting year-round tourist attractions like the Historic Arkansas Riverwalk and Union Avenue Historic District, and plenty of eclectic dining to boot.
Old steel mills in Pueblo, affectionately known as the Pittsburgh of the West, today give way to a thriving town valuing culture, the arts and fiery Mexican food. What’s more, it is home to 70 buildings and places listed in the national historic registry and, thanks to its location on the edge of Colorado’s desert-like Eastern Plains, boasts more than 250 days of sunshine annually. Worth an overnight stay, we’ve picked out the best hotels in town, bookable on Culture Trip.
