Meeker Hotel, Hotel in den Vereinigten Staaten
The Meeker Hotel is a historic lodging in Meeker, Colorado, built in 1896 from brick and expanded with two wings in 1904. The building holds about forty rooms and houses a cafe on the ground floor.
The hotel began in 1884 in military barracks under Charlie Dunbar and Susan Wright, then passed to Susan's brother Reuben Ball in 1893. The current brick building was constructed in 1896 on the same site and continued to evolve over the following decades.
The hotel has long served as a gathering place where locals and travelers meet, a role it continues to play today. This social function shapes how people experience and remember the building within the community.
The hotel sits on Main Street in the town center and is easy to locate. The property is large enough to explore different areas, so visitors should allow time to tour the building and its cafe.
The hotel is said to be home to several spirits, including the famed 'Painted Lady', an elegant woman from the early 20th century whose room carries the scent of vintage perfume. These stories told by locals and staff add a mysterious layer to the building's character.
