It’s always been a dream of ours to visit Denver, Colorado! The beautiful mountains and laid back atmosphere have always been so appealing to Nate and I, so when the holidays started to roll around, we decided to go for it!
It was such an honor to work with the Gaylord Rockies Resort in Aurora, CO to showcase the Christmas festivities and beauty of the resort. Upon arriving, I was in awe of how beautiful even the outside was. The lights are magical. It’s the perfect place for a family Christmas getaway. This particular Gaylord is brand new! It was built in 2018, and you can definitely tell how clean and fresh everything is on the inside.
Not only was our room and the entire resort exquisite, but the food was amazing, too! The Gaylord offers 24 hour room service, 4 amazing sit down restaurants, and several other bars located around the lobby. We dined at Mountain Pass, and needless to say, it was delicious! I had the Veggie Burger with a Breckenridge Christmas Ale, and Nate got the fried chicken.
The main attraction for the Gaylord Rockies around this time of year is of course, the holiday festivities!! There is literally so much to do for the whole family. My favorite was the ICE! exhibit – an indoor winter wonderland with 2 million pounds(!!) of ice featuring Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. You can see all of the events going on during the holidays here!
All in all, we had a fantastic time in Denver. There is so much to do and see at Christmas, and everything is decorated beautifully. Take advantage with the family and enjoy all that Denver and the Gaylord Rockies has to offer! Enjoy!
