Louis Dupuy’s Hotel de Paris (1875) is a former French inn, located in the Colorado Rockies, with an English style interior, built by Chinese laborers. The boldly refashioned and reimagined futures of the hotel’s proprietors and workers illustrate the possibility of second chances through reinvention in the Western United States.

Hotel de Paris Museum™, a Site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, is owned and operated by The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America in the State of Colorado.

Our preserved hotel and restaurant dates from 1875-1900 and is an authentic relic of the Old West.  Because of its completeness (90% of the original furnishings have survived), Hotel de Paris Museum™  lends itself to period dramas and historical documentaries; however, our Eastlake architecture and Aesthetic Movement interior spaces make the setting tasteful, worldly, and timeless.
