The best areas to stay in Steamboat Springs
The historic centre
If it's your first time in Steamboat Springs and you're here for three nights or fewer, stay central. You'll pay a premium per night and win it back in taxi fares and walking time. Use Booking.com's map view and draw your search around the oldest part of town.
One neighbourhood out
The band just outside the centre is where Steamboat Springs gets interesting and considerably cheaper — usually 25–40% less for the same standard of room, and a ten-minute walk or one stop on public transport from everything.
Ski-in / ski-out
In Steamboat Springs, ski-in/ski-out saves you two boot-walks a day and pays for itself with children. If you're on a budget, look for properties on a free ski-bus route instead — the saving is significant.
