Developer Unveils Long-Awaited Plans for Boulder Luxury Hotel

BOULDER, CO-A decades-long wait is over in Boulder, where a developer openly discusses plans for a $30 million, 150,000-sf luxury hotel for a key piece of downtown property. Plans for the St. Julien Hotel have been kept hushed for five years. Now, the developer's talking.

By some accounts, developers have wanted to build a hotel on a key block in downtown Boulder for as long as 40 years.

“I don’t know if it’s been that long, but I’ve been here 14 years, and I know there were discussions about it long before I got here, so I’d say it’s been at least 20 years,” Boulder City Planner Liz Hanson told GlobeSt.com. But either a down market or – more often the case – a city that prides itself on discouraging development, has conspired to keep a hotel from being built on the block at 9th Street and Canyon Blvd. in the heart of downtown Boulder.

Now, a local development group is moving forward on a $30 million, 200-room hotel that will include a city-owned, $10 million, underground parking lot with 656-spaces. The city owns about a third of the project acreage.
