Boulder Dam Hotel, hotel located in Boulder City, Nevada
Boulder Dam Hotel is a historic hotel in downtown Boulder City, Nevada, built in the 1930s in a Dutch Colonial Revival style. It has guest rooms, common areas, and a small dining space, all furnished in keeping with the period.
The hotel opened in 1933 to house visitors and dignitaries during the construction of Hoover Dam nearby. Over the following decades it changed hands several times before being restored and returned to use as a hotel.
Boulder City is one of the very few towns in Nevada where gambling is not allowed, and the hotel sits at its quiet center. This gives the area around it a small-town feel that stands out sharply from the rest of the state.
The hotel is in the center of Boulder City, within easy walking distance of local shops, restaurants, and the town museum. The Hoover Dam is a short drive away and makes for a natural day trip from here.
The hotel houses a small museum dedicated to Hoover Dam history, accessible inside the building without a separate visit. Several notable figures, including actors and politicians of the time, stayed here during the construction years.
