When it comes to Colorado accommodations, there is truly a place for every taste and budget. From the swanky Little Nell in Aspen all the way to the fun and affordable Best Western Movie Manor in Monte Vista, there is no shortage of places to stay in Colorado. If we had to name one hotel as most unique, however, it would have to be this small mountain town gem:

Located in the heart of Cripple Creek, Carr Manor is a gorgeous boutique hotel that is housed in a historic building... Can you guess what it used to be?

(If you guessed an old schoolhouse, you would be correct!)

Originally constructed in 1896, the old Cripple Creek High School called this brick and mortar building its home until 1977, when it was permanently closed.

The building was purchased and opened as a small hotel in 1983.
When you visit Carr Manor today, you will notice several nods to the building's past, including several stunning statues...
