By Jerd Smith, Daily Camera More than a year ago, when longtime Boulder restaurateur Frank Day surveyed the historic Hotel Boulderado, the venerable property he’s owned for 36 years, he determined it was time, as one staffer said, “to wake the old girl up.” Boulder is in the midst of a major hotel boom, with the number of new rooms set to jump by roughly 25 percent by September, rising from 2,106 to 2,633, according to the Boulder Convention and Visitors Bureau. To ensure the red brick Italianate and Spanish Revival structure can compete, and remains as alluring as it’s ever been, Day has been systematically going through and hitting the refresh button on the hotel, which was built more than a century ago.
