The Broadmoor Hotel, located in Colorado Springs, is not your average accommodation. This beautiful hotel and resort has welcomed many famed guests and is also a member of “Historic Hotels in America of the National Trust for Historic Preservations”.
The five-star resort complex is found at the base of the Cheyenne Mountain and perfectly encapsulates what luxury lodging mixed with wilderness looks and feels like.
Historic Luxury 5-Star Hotel
In 1916, Spencer Penrose purchased the property and built The Broadmoor two years later. The inspiration came from Europe’s elegant hotels, and so architects Warren and Wetmore, who were also designers of the Ritz-Carlton, turned this vision into reality.
Over the years, several other facilities were added to the hotel, like the Broadmoor Riding Arena and the Broadmoor Ice Palace, which became a famous Olympic training center. In 1961, the facility changed its name to Broadmoor World Arena and has held several famous national and international sports festivals and championships.
