Rico Hotel was originally constructed as a forty room boarding house for the International Smelting Company in 1926. During the 'boom' of the 1940's, the boarding house was turned into a hotel. Standing the test of time, the Rico Hotel is a living monument to the mining era that shaped the town of Rico, Colorado. In recent years, the Rico Hotel has undergone many major remodels, allowing the building to serve as both a hotel and four star restaurant. Reclaimed mine materials have been tastefully used in these remodels.
