Constructed in 1891, The Western-Ouray is a historic hotel venue for weddings and other special events in Ouray, CO. You and your guests can create unforgettable memories nestled in the San Juan Mountains.

Facilities and capacity

Renovations of the Western-Ouray were finished in 2023, carefully combining the original charm of the building with luxurious modern amenities. The decor takes inspiration from the property's Old West roots and features an authentic saloon. Sixteen rooms are available at the hotel, and each has mountain views, gas fireplaces, WiFi, towel warmers, and more. The dining hall and patio area are ideal for hosting all kinds of gatherings of various sizes. Expansive windows offer breathtaking views of the natural surroundings from the high-quality leather seating. Before or after the festivities, you can unwind in the Grotto Spa, which boasts a dry sauna, a large hot pool, multiple treatment rooms, and a cold plunge.

Born and raised here in Colorado, I have been invested in the event community my whole life! Growing up watching my mother work in events, I quickly fell in love with weddings at an early age. Being a hopeless romantic myself, I knew I wanted to help couples not only live out their real life happily ever after, but to have a wedding experience beyond their wildest dreams. For the last decade I have worked in all areas of events, ranging from wedding design, coordination, catering, bar operations, and so much more. I can't wait to help turn your dream vision into a reality at The Western!
