Glenisle, Hotel in den Vereinigten Staaten
Glenisle is a mountain hotel near Bailey, Colorado, built around 1901 and designed in rustic Adirondack style with natural wood features. The building features a distinctive round tower with a cone-shaped roof and sits on the edge of the North Fork of the South Platte River.
The hotel was founded in 1901 when railroad lines were driving tourism development in Colorado, with railroad investors promoting vacation destinations in Platte Canyon. It is the last remaining original resort of its kind in the canyon and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
The name Glenisle suggests a peaceful place by water, and this sense remains central to how people experience it today. Visitors connect with the way early 20th century travelers came to mountain areas seeking escape and relaxation.
The property is accessible by road and offers various lodging options in the historic lodge and cabins for visitors. Guests can explore the grounds, fish in the river, or take walks along trails through the surrounding landscape.
The hotel's Adirondack architecture uses rough wood structures to fit naturally into the mountain landscape, a design philosophy popular in early 20th century mountain resorts. This concept of blending buildings with surrounding nature makes Glenisle an early example of sustainable design principles in hotel architecture.
