Pure Luxury

“Call me spoiled - but I love to be treated like a queen when traveling. Only the best is good enough for me. Hotels that make my vacation a dream of luxury and seduction are my choices. Pay attention to the (violet Medal) for luxury accommodation.”

Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Markus Lenk, Düsseldorf, Germany

Commerce City offers several distinct highlights for a stay: parks and open spaces, trails, the Sand Creek Regional Greenway, a driving tour through a wildlife refuge, golf, and a museum focused on local history. When planning, you can choose based on the kind of day you want: getting active on trails, taking a drive, playing golf, or exploring collected stories from the past.

Parks, Trails and the Sand Creek Regional Greenway

Commerce City has 840 acres of parks and open spaces, as well as more than 25 miles of trails that connect to local and regional routes such as the Sand Creek Regional Greenway. The Greenway itself is an almost 13-mile public trail and natural area connecting Commerce City, Denver and Aurora. These figures describe different measures: acres refer to areas of land, while miles refer to trails and routes. This makes it possible to distinguish between the city’s green spaces and a named connection linking three cities.

Biking, horseback riding, walking and running are welcome on the Sand Creek Regional Greenway. In Commerce City, the trail is paved; this surface description applies to the section in the city. The four activities offer different ways to use the Greenway. The local surface is another specific point to consider when comparing the options for your stay.

A Driving Tour in the Wildlife Refuge

Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge is located in Commerce City. Visitors can drive the 11-mile Wildlife Drive Auto Tour there. This provides an explicitly car-based tour as an alternative way to explore, alongside the non-motorized activities on the Greenway. How you get around is a useful distinction when planning your day: you can treat trail activities and a drive as separate highlights rather than planning both as the same kind of outing.

Golf at Buffalo Run

Buffalo Run Golf Course adds a dedicated sporting option to the trails and nature activities. It is a public 18-hole links-style course. Its features include 65 strategically placed bunkers, as well as lakes and streams near the greens. The number of holes describes the course’s size, while the links style describes the type of course; bunkers and water are additional elements of its design. The golf course has also hosted several prestigious professional and high-level amateur golf tournaments. Its tournament history is therefore part of its description, alongside the course’s features.

History at the Museum

The Commerce City Historical Society Museum adds a historical focus to the nature and sports options. The Commerce City Historical Society opened the museum to preserve collected stories from the past. This purpose gives the museum a distinct focus: it centers on stories passed down, not another activity on the trails or golf course. When weighing different interests for your stay, you can therefore consider local history as a separate highlight alongside outdoor activities and sports.
