The Eddy Taproom & Hotel, located where the Great Plains meet the Rockies in Golden, Colorado, opened today. Managed by Denver-based CoralTree Hospitality Group, The Eddy experience is inspired by the region's mining history and surrounding outdoor adventures. Named after the river respites where kayakers and whitewater rafters rest and relax, The Eddy promises to be a confluence of outdoor pursuits and lively, comfortable welcoming service.

Located near Golden's iconic Clear Creek, the 49-room boutique hotel is situated on the site of the old Golden Fire Brick Company. With Truck Eddy, The Taproom, two rooftop patios and walking distance to outdoor pursuits, The Eddy is a gateway to Golden and the Colorado Rockies.

The property is celebrating this lifestyle with several creative programs that enliven the spirit of the area. The Taproom's 100-Mile Cocktail program only highlights ingredients that were produced within a 100-mile radius of the hotel. As an example, the Gin & Jam cocktail features Denver's own Family Jones House Gin, High Altitude Kombucha out of Golden and Palisade Peach Jam.

Enjoying a cocktail by one of the hotel's many firepits takes on a new flavor with the hotel's Popcorn Cart. An alternative to s'mores around the fire, reservations can be made to have The Eddy's Popcorn Cart swing by to pop the corn over the fire and then guests can select from a variety of sweet and savory items such as garlic and black paper or cinnamon and sugar to make their own custom mix.

The Eddy also has partnered with Rise Yoga in Golden to develop a series of custom relaxation videos that feature breathing techniques and relaxation methods as part of the hotel's Rise & Relax program. Guests can access these relaxation techniques via a QR code in their room to help wind down after a day of play in the mountains. Rise also will be offering complimentary yoga classes at The Eddy.

The four-story hotel is located on the site of the old Golden Fire Brick Company that dates back to the 1860s. The Eddy captures the look and feel of the original brick works exteriors that blend both a historic and industrial feel to provide a resort-like atmosphere. The interiors are a mix of contemporary and vintage to create an updated, yet very authentic, local aesthetic that welcomes guests to stay the night or simply to enjoy a pint at The Taproom.

The Eddy offers an approachable, yet elevated, culinary experiences. Truck Eddy, the property's food truck, welcomes guests upon arrival with a selection of barbecue and shakes that can be enjoyed on nearby picnic tables, on the outdoor lawn or in the comfort of a guest room. The Taproom offers a hearty mountain menu that focuses on seasonal, Rocky Mountain local ingredients paired with any of the eight craft beers on tap. Three signature beers are being brewed for the Eddy's taps including a pale ale from Denver-based FlyteCo Brewing. The Taproom also will offer a creative drink program featuring barrel-aged and smoked cocktails as well as drip-infused creations using a cold brew coffee Yama Tower.
