Our story

Welcome to The Hotel Melrose, a historically inspired boutique hotel with modern convenience. Originally established in 1908 by visionary immigrants William and Charlotte Ponsford, The Hotel Melrose is a testament to our small city’s rich history. We’re the sole survivor among the twelve original buildings that once graced the area, embodying the spirit of a bygone era. Our historic building has been completely renovated into a comforting and sophisticated oasis, where you'll enjoy an entirely virtual experience with technology-driven conveniences like keyless check-in and a digital concierge. With our time-honoring allure and commitment to excellence, the Hotel Melrose offers an intimate experience of exceptional comfort and modern western flair amidst the charm of Downtown Grand Junction.
