BRADLEY BOULDER INN
About US
AN ELEGANT
BOUTIQUE HOTEL
Built in 1994 to fit seamlessly into its surrounding historic neighborhood, the Bradley Boulder Inn’s iconic central tower hides surprises inside. The stately brick mansion was designed originally by architect Scott Coburn to function as a boutique hotel. As a result, the Inn’s twelve guestrooms are spacious with soaring ceilings, tall, solid, hardwood doors, fireplaces, balconies and city or mountain views. When entering the Inn, through the wide gracious porch, visitors are surprised to be greeted with a modern craftsman style interior featuring gleaming woodwork, a river rock fireplace, a stained glass ceiling and a wide open reception area. The Bradley Boulder Inn fits so well into its quiet historic neighborhood that many locals don’t know the Inn exists, even though it is only half a block from legendary Pearl Street's famous shops and restaurants.
Serving guests for over twenty-five years, the Bradley Boulder changed ownership in 2025 when Jim Griffey and Heather Collaton Griffey sold the Bradley to the Dahlmann’s, a prominent Ann Arbor, Michigan family that, like the Griffey's, also specializes in boutique hotels. The Dahlmann family fell in love with the charm and serenity of the Bradley Boulder Inn while visiting their grandson, Michael, at the University of Colorado. The Dahlmann’s currently own five hotels and retail and office properties in Ann Arbor, Michigan and Sanibel, Florida. Their plan for the Bradley is to enhance the current look and feel of the interior while honoring its incredible craftsmanship.

Gracious Luxury
"We have stayed in B&Bs all over North America and in comparison these owners have the experience down: they have accommodated EVERY possible need. Bedding is exceptionally comfortable. Plenty of gratis toiletries, breakfast buffet abundant, homemade, and delicious, as are the afternoon cookies. And there’s a wine/cheese hour. Overall, a generous spirit. "

A Great Experience
"Really enjoyed staying at the Bradley. The location was great. The lobby was really cozy and it was relaxing sitting and talking by the fireplace. We found the staff to be welcoming and accommodating. We will definitely be looking to stay at the Bradley when we come to Boulder in the future"

Fabulous Location!
"We had a lovely stay! Celebrated our 29th anniversary. We’ve lived in Colorado for a long time and this was a new discovery. Fabulous location with easy access to everything in downtown Boulder. Want to give special recognition to Sunny and Michael because they were so helpful and friendly and took such good care of us! This will be our first choice when we come back to Boulder. Highly highly recommend!"

"My mother and I had an amazing 2-week stay at Bradley Boulder Inn. Big shout out to Mike, Sunny, Corey and Rema who were wonderful to us during our time there. It really felt like a home away from home"
