The Eddy Taproom & Hotel

What The Eddy Taproom & Hotel does

The Eddy Taproom & Hotel is a privately held 49-room boutique hotel that opened in 2021 in Golden, Colorado, operated under CoralTree Hospitality. The property is positioned as an adventure basecamp at the base of the Rocky Mountains, approximately 8.7 miles from Red Rocks Amphitheater and within easy reach of Denver, Clear Creek recreation, and the I-70 ski corridor. Built on the historic Golden Fire Brick Company site, the hotel pays homage to the area's mining heritage while serving a mix of leisure, concert, corporate, wedding, and local community segments.

The business operates a horizontally diversified revenue model spanning room accommodations (King, Corner King, 2 Queen, and Haystack Bunk Bed configurations), the on-site Eddy Taproom & Lawn serving Mountain Cuisine with rotating craft beer, a mobile food truck (Truck Eddy), in-room dining, Red Rocks shuttle service priced at $100 per person, and a network of curated adventure experiences (backpacking, fly fishing, water sports, winter sports, e-bike rentals via RAD Power Bikes, and complimentary yoga through Rise Yoga and Wellness). Private event venues include the Prospect Room (680 sq ft), Taproom Lawn (2,500 sq ft), and East/West rooftops (940/825 sq ft), supported by a dedicated sales team handling groups of 10+ rooms, microwedding packages, and corporate retreats.

Distribution combines direct booking via theeddygolden.com with best-rate guarantee, OTA and GDS access via Synxis, and a dedicated group sales channel. Customer engagement is anchored by The Eddy Beyond loyalty program (2% cash back on direct bookings, redeemable across CoralTree properties, charity via GlobalGiving, or PayPal/Visa cash back), Instagram and Facebook presence, email marketing, and earned media coverage in outlets including Condé Nast Traveler, 5280, Denver Post, Thrillist, and Afar. Recognition includes TripAdvisor Travel Choice Awards 2026 and Condé Nast Traveler Top 15 Hotels in Colorado 2024.
