“Great slice of history, but have to take tour”

Reviewed March 30, 2012

person found this review helpful

Everyone who loves or is interested in Georgetown should try to see the 80s John Denver TV movie, "The Christmas Gift". It is a feel-good look at Georgetown in all its holiday splendor. The filmmakers left all the town decorations, so the town renews its film-like splendor each holiday season. Prominant in the film is the Hotel de Paris, where... More

“Great step back in time....”

Reviewed October 28, 2011

person found this review helpful

We really enjoyed how well the facility is preserved. After living overseas, it is interesting to see how tourism and travel developed on the frontier of the United States. I too picked up a little of the "attitude" from our guide. She seemed be bored with our questions and dismiss any observations we shared if they didn't align with her... More

I am sorry our guide was not enthusiastic or engaging with you and your wife. I have directed our staff and volunteer docents to be better listeners and to cater our tours to the questions and/or interests of our guests. I hope you will be pleased to learn we are exploring new tour formats, themes, and delivery styles. These changes... More

“Better than average, except for photography policy”

Reviewed October 5, 2011

I would rate this "hotel museum" as "very good" or even "excellent", except that they allow no photographs, even without flash. The old hotel, in the heart of Georgetown's business district is, however, worth a visit. The tour guide presented a very nice tour, albeit with a hint of "attitude". The hotel is quaint, and many of the items within... More

With all of the potential exposure photographers could offer us on their websites, blogs, and social media sites, the staff and advisors of Hotel de Paris Museum made the difficult decision to not allow photography, filming, or recording by non-commercial visitors. Loss of a revenue stream (the sale of officially sanctioned images) was not a factor for us. The policy... More

“Fascinating! Highly Recommended”

Reviewed August 9, 2011

person found this review helpful

This was a wonderful tour. I love historic homes but have never visited an old hotel that has been converted into a museum. Our guide was very knowledgeable and did a great job. You visit several guest rooms, including the "sample rooms," rented by traveling salesmen who used the rooms as temporary store fronts. The tour also discusses the life... More

My husband and I enjoyed a fabulous tour at Hotel de Paris Museum. What a great slice of history in this old mining town west of Denver! Our guides were very hospitable and extremely knowledgeable about the Hotel and its founder, Louis Dupuy, and the invaluable contribution that Louis and his great old hotel made to Georgetown and the surrounding...

“OK for what it is”

Reviewed August 19, 2010

people found this review helpful

Pros - period original furniture, friendly tour guides, inexpensive. Cons - can't take photos, smells awful (musty/moldy, maybe all those books?), not a lot to interest kids. This was the first of two historic buildings we toured this summer, and if I hadn't done the second tour (Redstone Castle) I would have had less to say about this tour. It... More

We are presently working on the abatement of moisture in the wine cellar, which should help reduce or eliminate the mustiness you noticed. This $384,000 project will be completed before we resume tours in May of 2011. In an effort to provide a high level of security for our collection and protect it from damage caused by camera flashes, we... More

“A "Must See" on your Georgetown Visit”

Reviewed June 28, 2010

people found this review helpful

No trip to Georgetown would be complete without touring the grand old Hotel De Paris. I have been visiting Georgetown for years and tour the old hotel every time. I love to visit when the tourist season is slow as I have received so many great tours given by the staff and they are able to go into great detail... More
