The Briar Rose is Now Closed

Dear Guests, Staff, and Friends,

We are finally acknowledging the closing of the Briar Rose.

Thank you all for your love and support over these last 16 years. We were so fortunate to have shared with you this beautiful property, and our wonderful community of staff, guests, Zen practitioners, and friends. The decision to close our doors was difficult, but we faced many headwinds. For a couple of years there has been a glut of rooms from the new chain hotels in town, and two more are being built. We were already struggling from this, though working to adapt, but the nearly complete loss of bookings resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic prompted a decision to re-envision the property.

Thank you, all of you. You made the Briar Rose the special place it was.

-Gary and Jessika

The Future - The Boulder Guesthouse

Happily, the property is entering a new chapter: it is becoming a residential Zen center, The Boulder Zen Center (BZC). The BZC has actually owned the property for 16 years, and will now operate it. Over the years we have been meeting in our zendo for regular Zen practice, but now there are several residents, including Zenki Roshi from Crestone Mountain Zen Center and two of his monks, to lead the practice. The property is currently being renovated. Gary, who ran the Briar Rose all those years, is also ordained and will continue to participate.

In the first part of 2021 the BZC will begin offering a new lodging business, The Boulder Guesthouse. We would love for you to come stay with us!

We are pleased to share our new website with you all!

Everything else that you love about the Briar Rose B&B is still the same.

Our new website includes a blog, which will release recipes, happenings around town, and other updates from us.

Our first blog post is from our owner, on our response to the pandemic. We will safely be re-opening our doors to serve guests on May 16th.

Dear Guests, The Briar Rose has been closed since March 24th to honor the need for social distancing during this coronavirus pandemic. Colorado’s “stay at home” order expired on May 8th , replaced …

We have decided to extend our closure through May 15th, for the safety of our guests and staff.
Future reservations are still able to made on our website, and we are checking emails and voicemail daily.

The Boulderado Hotel has now also closed, and we recommend the St. Julien Hotel & Spa for any immediate lodging needs.

We wish you all continued health and safety, and look forward to reopening in mid-May.

To our valued guests,

We have temporarily closed our doors in response to the novel coronavirus pandemic. We made this difficult decision to protect guests, staff, and to help slow the spread of the virus to the wider community. Things are changing rapidly, but we hope to reopen on May 1st if conditions allow.

Reservations can still be made on our website using the “check availability” button. We will be widely forgiving of cancellations made during the course of the epidemic, as we understand how uncertain the near future is. We will be responding to voicemails and emails daily during our temporary closure (email is preferred). We are here for you! If you need immediate lodging in Boulder, the Boulderado Hotel on Spruce St. is still open.

We wish you and your loved ones continued health in this tumultuous time. After over 40 years of offering our hospitality, we deeply look forward to welcoming guests back to the Briar Rose.

With much appreciation,
Gary & Jessika Hardin - Owners
