Built in 1952, the Big Bunny Motel whispers stories of Colfax Avenue’s past. Originally known as the Bugs Bunny Motel, its whimsical name caught the attention of Warner Brothers’ legal team. A name change was demanded in 1997, resulting in the Big Bunny we see today. Some claim this motel is the “worst in Denver”. Others remember a different Big Bunny. One nestled amongst vibrant live music venues like Freddie’s Lounge in the 70s. A place where bands like Trixie’s “Triple A” and the Flyers filled the air with music. Even Willie Nelson graced the stage nearby. Actress Sue Lyon, known for her role in Lolita, is also tied to the Big Bunny’s history. A story circulates about a failed suicide attempt involving a window. The motel’s single-story structure likely contributed to the attempt’s failure. The Big Bunny Motel might not boast luxury. Yet it holds a unique place in Denver’s history. A quirky roadside attraction on the iconic Colfax Avenue. A silent witness to changing times and fading memories.
