At the gateway to the northern Rockies, the Best Western Kiva Inn makes a comfortable Southwestern-styled base in Fort Collins, Colorado, a lively college town along the Cache la Poudre River—and just minutes from Colorado State University.
Fort Collins balances mountains and main street. The historic Old Town district, whose storefronts are said to have inspired a famous theme-park street, fills with shops, restaurants, and the breweries that made the town a craft-beer capital. Horsetooth Reservoir spreads trails and water at the edge of the foothills, the wild Cache la Poudre canyon climbs west, and Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park lie within a scenic drive.
Southwestern-styled rooms include a refrigerator, a microwave, and high-speed Wi-Fi, with junior suites and mountain-view rooms available, and a full breakfast opens the day in a glass atrium. An adjacent steakhouse and lounge make dinner easy, and Colorado State University—just a short, five-minute drive away—keeps campus events, game days, and visits incredibly convenient. At the foot of the Rockies, Fort Collins keeps the mountains close.
