Reading the cards: minutes are our estimates from map distance, so they say "about". Breakfast, suites and kitchens are what each hotel brand promises across its hotels, not something we checked room by room. The places listed under a hotel are the closest ones within roughly a 10-minute walk of its door.

Graduation weekend at University of Colorado Boulder

University of Colorado Boulder holds its main ceremony at Folsom Field, usually in May. On our map, 3 places to stay sit no more than about a 10-minute walk from it and 11 within about 20. 8 are within about 15 minutes on foot of both the venue and campus.

Rooms close to campus tend to go first for commencement, often months ahead and with a two-night minimum. If the walkable ones are gone, sort the list by the 10-minute drive chip and look one town over. Our graduation weekend guide covers timing.

Worth doing before you book

University of Colorado Boulder gear for the ride home

A hat for the tour, a hoodie for the acceptance letter, a frame for the far end of it all. Each button runs an Amazon search for that item with the school's name filled in.
