I love this place. It is a real "old time" hotel. The building dates to the gold rush, and it opened as a hotel in 1932. The room is tiny, but has incredible old time charm. If you want the standard, modern, cookie-cutter hotel experience, take the interstate from the Denver to Santa Fe. If you want a real, authentic, once in a lifetime experience, take the back roads, savor the mountains and back country scenery, and stay overnight in Fairplay at the Hand. Fairplay is at 9,953 ft and has a population of 724. This is the real deal!

Vintage Hotel in Charming Small Town

On street parking only --but not available until later in evening. Vintage hotel. Gave staff card, so double charged. That's when learned Hand rate was $45 less than Hotels.com. Hand credited me for my double pyment. Great view from rear balcony.

Rooms were small but inclusive of all necessities and free WiFi. Very clean and a good breakfast. While you are in FairPlay be sure to visit the museum. One of the best for the realities of early US life in the 19th century.

Loved it! So affordable, fantastic views, spotted a moose, walked the streets with a coffee in hand taking in the glory of the old west, parking was a breeze, fantastic thrift store shopping, a nearby hike along beaver creek that IS appropriately named (you’ll spot a beaver), don’t bother eating at Otto’s (over priced, music’s too loud), will say the coffee could be stronger at the Hand BUT the rest of breakfast was tasty and well attended to. The charm of the building alone takes you back to grandma’s house. But seriously, The Hand Bed and Breakfast was magical. Book it if you can.
