Best Western Vista Inn

Investment Overview

Best Western Vista Inn | 52-Key Branded Hotel | Buena Vista, Colorado Prime Investment Properties is pleased to present the Best Western Vista Inn, a 52-key, midscale franchise hotel ideally located on US Highway 24 North in Buena Vista, Colorado — the gateway to the Arkansas River Valley and one of the state's most enduring year-round outdoor-recreation markets. Built in 1995 and renovated in 2025, the two-story, interior-corridor property sits on a fee-simple 4.8-acre parcel with 78 surface parking spaces and meaningful expansion and excess-land optionality. The hotel carries a recognized national flag under BWH Hotels and offers a full amenity package, including a pool, hot tub, fitness center, business center, meeting and event space, public-access WiFi, and an on-site café — positioning it competitively for both leisure and commercial demand. The asset is anchored by exceptional location fundamentals. Buena Vista draws a steady, multi-season stream of travelers from the nation's most heavily rafted river corridor, the surrounding Collegiate Peaks, nearby Monarch Mountain skiing, Cottonwood Hot Springs, and the historic towns of Leadville and Salida. With highway frontage carrying upwards of 13,000 vehicles per day, a "Car Friendly" drive-to demand profile, and a Colorado Southwest submarket posting positive year-over-year gains in occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR, the property benefits from durable demand drivers in a supply-constrained mountain market with high barriers to new entry. Additional investment highlights include Opportunity Zone designation, strong daytime employment, stable household income growth, and projected population and household gains through 2030. The combination of a branded, renovated asset, a generously sized parcel, and a proven year-round tourism corridor presents a compelling value-add and stabilization opportunity for hospitality investors and owner-operators alike. The full offering — including financial performance, brand details, and pricing guidance — is available to qualified parties upon execution of a confidentiality agreement.
