New Breckenridge hotel planned

Developers say they're planning to build the first new hotel in Breckenridge in more than 20 years.

Urgo Hotels & Resorts and Triumph Development LLC said they've broken ground on a 129-room Residence Inn by Marriott located on 2.6 acres at 600 South Ridge St., across the street from the Village base area and QuickSilver chair lift at the southern end of Main Street. The new hotel is slated to open in fall 2016.

The site used to house the Breckenridge Mountain Lodge.

“The Residence Inn will be only the second branded hotel in the market and we expect the Marriott flag and exceptional location to give us a compelling competitive advantage," said Mathew Jalazo, director of development at Urgo Hotels, in a statement.

The town of Breckenridge and Vail Resorts, which operates the ski area, are in a current fight over whether skiers should pay a lift-ticket tax that would pay for parking and transit improvements in the town.
