The Estes Park Resort

Mountain Views, Music Vibes & Lakeside Comfort

Modern mountain charm meets serene lakefront living at The Estes Park Resort. Nestled on five scenic acres along Lake Estes, this resort-style hotel offers a peaceful retreat with stunning Rocky Mountain views, an on-site restaurant, and a full-service spa. Just a short drive from downtown Estes Park, it's a great base for music lovers looking to unwind after a show.

Each room comes with free WiFi, a microwave, and a refrigerator—perfect for late-night snacks. Enjoy evenings by the lakeside fire pits or grab a drink at the full-service bar with panoramic views. Whether you're here for a festival weekend or a one-night concert getaway, this resort offers the perfect mix of nature and nightlife access.

Why Concert-goers love it

You're just 1.5 miles from the Estes Park Convention and Visitors Bureau, making this a convenient spot if your event is happening nearby. After the music winds down, you’ll appreciate the quiet lakeside setting—ideal for recharging. The 4:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out are pretty standard, but the chill vibe makes you feel unrushed. Getting around is easy with plenty of local taxi and rideshare options.
