Hotels in Highlands

Old Edwards Inn and Spa is the polished Highlands pick when a work trip, retreat, or first visit needs a central Main Street base with a stronger service signal. Forbes 4-Star and Relais Chateaux recognition make it easier to justify for higher-stakes stays, but booking is hard, so cross-shop Trailborn Highlands or Outpost Inn if dates are tight.

Outpost Inn is a strong Highlands pick for couples or celebration trips that want a quieter boutique stay rather than a resort-heavy setup. Esquire and MICHELIN hotel recognition add confidence, but value depends on whether you need amenities: choose Old Edwards Inn and Spa for a larger luxury experience, or Trailborn Highlands for a more casual mountain-hotel alternative.

Trailborn Highlands is a strong pick if you want a design-led Highlands base rather than a formal resort stay. It makes sense for travelers who plan to spend the day around town, trails, mountain drives, then come back to a calmer, more current hotel. Cross-shop Old Edwards Inn and Spa for a spa-first splurge, or Outpost Inn for a simpler stay.
