Trailborn launches as hospitality brand

Castle Peak Holdings has launched Trailborn, what it calls “the first vertically-integrated hospitality brand specializing in designing and operating elevated hotels with full-service restaurants and bars, exclusively located in the country’s most extraordinary outdoor destinations.”

The brand’s first property, Trailborn Rocky Mountains, opened recently in downtown Estes Park, CO, at the eastern entrance of the Rocky Mountain National Park. The property includes 86 guestrooms across two locations (40 at Trailborn Rocky Mountains and 46 at Trailborn Rocky Mountains Outpost, which will open soon), a restaurant, bar and café, two retail markets and outdoor public areas, including two seasonal pools, patios, porches and communal fire pits, all with views of the surrounding Rocky Mountains.

“Trailborn was founded on the belief that life should be an adventure, and we’re making this a reality by creating one-of-a-kind hotels that are the perfect home base for exploring the most extraordinary outdoor destinations,” said Mike Weiss, co-CEO/cofounder, Trailborn. “Each Trailborn is rooted in its unique location—thoughtfully designed, brought to life by carefully crafted touches and memorable experiences, and placed alongside national parks, beaches, mountain towns and other natural wonders. We’re thrilled to officially unveil our first Trailborn property in a locale as iconic as Rocky Mountain National Park.”

In the next year, Trailborn plans to open additional properties at the Grand Canyon; Highlands, NC; Wrightsville Beach, NC and Mendocino, CA.
