Feature Leadville Hotel -  Delaware Hotel

Each of the 36 rooms at the Delaware Hotel feature antique furnishings. All rooms have private baths and full baths in the suites, color television with cable service is available in all of the rooms. Many of the uniquely decorated rooms have fantastic views to the south and west of the Continental Divide and the beautiful Arkansas Valley.

Leadville (pronounced "led" as in the metal lead, not "leed" as in "lead a horse to water",) made its fortune in silver, which was mined in a heavy carbonate of lead. Because there were lots of "silver" named towns at the time, the founding fathers suggested Leadville. Other names originally considered included Carbonate, Cerrusite, and Meyer (after a prominent citizen). A short period after this, during a time when the name could have been changed, names suggested included Lead City, Agassiz, Harrison, and Carbonateville. Nicknames for Leadville include "The Magic City" and "The Cloud City", (at two miles high the city is sometimes in the clouds).

"There has been but one Leadville. Never will there be an other." This 1916 quote from "Olden Times in Colorado" aptly describes this grand and glorious city from the past which continues to awe visitors with its magical appeal.
