Inspired by the understated elegance of European hotels and the spectacular natural beauty of our home in the Rocky Mountains, Surf Hotel's unique perspective and location offer guests a sense of luxury without pretension. Constructed in 2018, the elegant, timeless, and beautifully decorated Surf Hotel & Chateau offers endless stunning backdrops for your wedding day photography. No matter the style or format of your wedding, our hospitality begins in the planning process, as we help you curate your unique vision for a day (or several days) of mountain town elegance.

Facilities and Capacity

Beyond breathtaking views, stylish guest rooms and the vibrant community just steps from our door, the brand new Surf Hotel’s amenities and services provide a number of unique options for your special celebration. From a charming ground floor lobby bar to the Ivy Ballroom's spectacular outdoor courtyard and riverfront patio, our spaces were designed to adapt to a wide range of events. In addition to a wedding venue - the Surf Hotel is also a concert venue, hosting top-name talent regularly. We know how to have fun here - and our specialty is non traditional weddings. Weddings of all sizes are welcome. For intimate weddings of less than 35, we have our beautiful private dining room at Wesley & Rose. The Ivy Ballroom can accommodate up to 150 guests for a seated dinner reception, or 200 guests by utilizing the tented outdoor courtyard.
