Broadmoor Hotel Colorado Springs

The best place to stay for your vacation is the Broadmoor Hotel Colorado Springs. It is a beautiful place, but definitely not cheap.

This very old resort was built back in 1918 at the base of Cheyenne Mountain. It is made up of several Mediterranean-style buildings painted pink on 3,000 luxuriously manicured acres.

When you step inside the original building, you will think you are in a fabulous art museum. There are original paintings by Toulouse Lautrec hanging there. The most incredible marble staircase and Italian tiles adorn it, not to mention beautiful chandeliers. Ming dynasty ceramic pieces are also on display there.

Cheyenne Lake is right behind the main building. A pool is right next to the lake so it looks like a seaside resort. There is an outdoor lap pool for those who enjoy working out in the pool. There are waterslides, two outside hot tubs and 13 cabanas. There is also an outdoor cafe so you can enjoy the cool breezes year round.

Just in case you visit when it is not so warm outside, there is an indoor pool as well.

This luxury hotel has 700 rooms. Each large room holds either one king sized bed or two double beds and are decorated European-style with beautiful wooden furniture, chandeliers, and art pieces. The rooms are in a series of buildings around the lake. Wireless internet access and cable TV are in every room.

Of course, the rooms include air conditioning, desks, a coffee maker, a mini bar, an iron, a hair dryer, phones, and a safe. Valet laundry is provided for your convenience.

There are 12 restaurants on the premises and 24 hour room service.

If you love golf, there are three different 18 hole golf courses to enjoy. There are nine tennis courts. A state-of-the-art fitness center is there for your convenience. There is a spa and in-room massage therapy if you prefer. Aerobics classes are given for guests. The lake has paddleboats. Bikes can be rented.

A shopping arcade is also conveniently located on the premises, not to mention a movie theater. You never have to leave.

In the summer, there is a children's program designed for them so you can enjoy some of the adult activities listed above.

Riding stables are also on the property. Flyfishing classes can be attended so you can take full advantage of the beautiful lake.

A double room at the Broadmoor Hotel Colorado Springs starts at $350 and a large suite can cost up to $3500 for one night. There are many prices in between, depending on the unit you want and the time of year that you book. The service is really incredible. There are very few complaints about it.
