Saltwater Pool Meets Riverside Comfort”

Comfy beds and a gorgeous location right on the river made for a very relaxing stay. The atmosphere is boutique and well designed, with a restaurant on site that serves excellent food and drinks. The riverside setting is hard to beat, and it’s easy to walk into town or explore nearby trails. What stood out most was the quiet setting and the overall comfort of the rooms. The outdoor spaces are well thought out and make it easy to enjoy the mountain views. If you’re looking for a stylish, relaxing place in Buena Vista with a great restaurant and riverside access, this hotel delivers.

The property was beautiful. Staff terrific. Food and beverage great. We checked in after dark, then we woke up and discovered that in the beautiful morning sun our room was filthy. The furniture was worn and stained. Fingers prints and spills. Mildewy shower curtain. We paid for a premium room with a gorgeous view and couldn’t get out of there fast enough.

One of my favorite hotels in Colorado

As always, the Serwe Château is my favorite hotel in Colorado. The cleanliness, the bedding, the views, the bar and the staff make it such a delight to stay there and I look forward to it every time and refer all my clients to stay there as well.
