Trailborn, a new hospitality brand deeply influenced by the splendor of the great American outdoors, has launched its inaugural property at the eastern gateway of Rocky Mountain National Park in Estes Park, Colorado. This milestone marks the beginning of an innovative venture connecting adventure travelers with breathtaking natural landscapes while championing sustainability and community engagement.
The Trailborn Rocky Mountains campus boasts 86 thoughtfully designed hotel rooms sprawled across two distinct properties: Trailborn Rocky Mountains and Trailborn Rocky Mountains Outpost, set to unveil its 46 additional rooms early this spring. The facilities include a restaurant, bar, and café, two retail markets, and expansive outdoor spaces featuring seasonal pools, patios, porches, and communal fire pits, all offering mesmerizing views of the surrounding Rocky Mountains. Looking ahead, Trailborn plans to expand its footprint with new properties slated for opening in iconic destinations such as the Grand Canyon, Highlands in North Carolina, Wrightsville Beach in North Carolina, and Mendocino in California.
Founders Mike Weiss and Ben Weinberg, seasoned entrepreneurs with extensive experience in real estate and hospitality, envisioned Trailborn as a transformative force in the travel industry. Their aim is to curate unparalleled experiences for today's adventure seekers, positioning each Trailborn hotel at the nexus of America's most awe-inspiring outdoor wonders, from national parks to coastal retreats and alpine getaways.
One of Trailborn's distinctive features is its commitment to environmental stewardship and community support. Through initiatives like "Keep Extraordinary," the brand allocates a portion of every reservation towards local land conservation efforts, safeguarding the natural beauty that surrounds its properties. Moreover, Trailborn prioritizes sustainability at every stage, employing eco-conscious construction practices, implementing green building standards, and integrating amenities that minimize waste, such as reusable water bottles and on-site water refill stations. The brand also emphasizes renewable energy sources to power its properties, further reducing its carbon footprint.
As Trailborn continues to expand, its dedication to preserving and enhancing the world's most extraordinary outdoor destinations remains unwavering. Guests are not just patrons but active participants in a movement to safeguard and celebrate nature's marvels, making Trailborn a beacon for adventure enthusiasts seeking immersive and sustainable travel experiences.
