We create memories!
Be Our Guest
Experience private dining at White Buffalo restaurant and rooftop bar with panoramic mountain views. We have a full bar with signature curated cocktails, and serve seasonal cuisine traditional of the Colorado Western Slope.
Our Resort + Spa is named in honor of Chipeta, the revered queen of the Ute Indian tribe. Known for her wisdom, peacemaking, and deep respect for her land, Chipeta’s legacy is a guiding light for our ethos. We strive to reflect her values in every aspect of our hospitality.
Inspired by Chipeta’s respect for nature, Chipeta Lodge is dedicated to sustainable practices. We use eco-friendly materials, support local communities, and take steps to preserve the natural beauty surrounding us.
A History Steeped in Tradition
Chipeta, born in the 1840s, was an influential figure in the Ute Indian tribe. Married to Chief Ouray, she played a significant role in negotiations with the U.S. government, advocating for peace and the rights of her people. She was inducted into the Colorado Women's Hall of Fame in 1985 for her accomplishments. Her legacy as a leader, peacemaker, and a woman of formidable strength and kindness is the foundation upon which Chipeta Lodge is built. Our roots are deep.
At Chipeta Lodge Resort + Spa, we don’t just offer a stay; we offer an experience that connects you with nature, history, adventure, relaxation and the enduring spirit of a remarkable woman. Join us for an unforgettable journey into the heart of Colorado’s natural and cultural heritage.
