Best Western Vista Inn
52 Keys | Award-Winning Best Western | 4.8 AC | Development Land included
Marketing description
Prime Investment Properties is pleased to present the Best Western Vista Inn, a 52-key midscale hotel positioned 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 recreation markets.
Built in 1995 and fully renovated, this two-story, interior-corridor property occupies a fee-simple 4.8 acre parcel with 78 surface parking spaces and genuine room to grow. Operating under a recognized national flag, the hotel delivers a full amenity package — pool, hot tub, fitness center, business center, meeting space, public-access WiFi, and an on-site café — giving it a real competitive edge across both leisure and commercial demand.
Location is where this asset truly distinguishes itself. Buena Vista pulls steady, multi-season traffic from the nation's most heavily rafted river corridor, the towering Collegiate Peaks, nearby Monarch Mountain skiing, Cottonwood Hot Springs, and the historic towns of Leadville and Salida. Highway frontage carrying upwards of 13,000 vehicles per day feeds a robust drive-to demand base.
Layered on top are an Opportunity Zone designation, strong daytime employment, stable income growth, and projected population gains through 2030. A branded, renovated asset on an oversized parcel, anchored in a proven four-season tourism corridor — the Best Western Vista Inn is the kind of opportunity that rewards a closer look.
The complete financial picture, brand details, and pricing guidance await an executed confidentiality agreement and broker approval.
