The Ice Palace Bed & Breakfast

Leadville`s 1896 whirlwind social season overshadowed the chinook winds that taunted the Ice Palace until it was officially closed on March 28, 1896. Some of its lumber was used in 1899 to construct what is now The Ice Palace Inn, built on the same hill as the original Ice Palace. In 1994, Giles and Kami Kolakowski restored it as a bed and breakfast inn, naming the rooms after the original Ice Palace`s rooms: The Grand Ballroom Suite, The Skating Rink, The Crystal Carnival, The King`s Tower and Lady Leadville The Parlor Room Since that date, their hospitality and warmth to guests have been evident, as many attest: ``Your hospitality was the best. But I`m afraid you spoiled us. We`ll always compare future bed and breakfasts to yours. I`m sure none will measure up. Rates: $79.00-169.00
