SCOUT REVIEW
The Grand Lodge Crested Butte is a well-loved, mid-range mountain property that delivers exactly what most skiers need: comfortable, spacious rooms and a location that makes getting to the slopes a breeze. Situated just a short stroll from the base area and the Silver Queen and Red Lady lifts, The Grand Lodge offers convenience without the steep price tag of true ski-in ski-out lodging.
The hotel’s style is classic ski-lodge comfort—wood accents, stone fireplaces, and a laid-back vibe that matches Crested Butte’s famously friendly energy. Most rooms are suite-style, featuring kitchenettes and pull-out sofas, making them great for families or groups. While some units show their age, many have been refreshed, so it’s worth asking for a recently updated one when booking.
Amenities are strong for the price point: a large outdoor heated pool and hot tub surrounded by snowy peaks, a full fitness center, ski storage, and a small in-house café serving breakfast and light meals. The Grand Lodge’s pet-friendly policy is a bonus for travelers bringing along their adventure dogs.
While the hotel doesn’t have the luxury polish of Crested Butte’s higher-end options, it shines in practicality, comfort, and value—making it a solid home base for those who come to ski hard and relax easy.
Who should stay here
Ideal for families, groups, and budget-conscious skiers who want plenty of space and easy slope access without sacrificing comfort or amenities.
Location
The Grand Lodge sits just 200 yards from the Crested Butte Mountain Resort base area, meaning lifts, rentals, and ski school are all within easy walking distance.

About Crested Butte
Crested Butte, with its steeps looming above gentle beginner slopes, is the perfect playground for more adventurous families where luxury is not necessarily important. They’ll mix quite happily with ski bums who come to the resort for its expert terrain and a laid-back, hippie personality. Its historic downtown area is incredibly picturesque - old Victorian mining buildings surrounded by steep mountains with some fantastic restaurants and bars. Excellent ski school, impeccable grooming, and good variety of accommodation rounds out the reasons why Crested Butte is a terrific choice for a ski holiday.
