Looking for the perfect weekend getaway from the West Coast? I can't recommend The Broadmoor (866-696-3961) highly enough! This resort is easily as luxurious as any Ritz-Carlton or Four Seasons, for example, but offers a more laid back and friendly atmosphere. Everyone on the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. I had a chance to spend a few days here in September, and I can't wait to go back! It's one of the nicest resorts I've been to anywhere in the world. (For me, this is saying a lot, but it's true!)
Located in beautiful Colorado Springs, CO, this resort brings new meaning to the term "five-star luxury." It combines a rich history with timeless charm, and all of the modern amenities and services you could ask for. It's no wonder why U.S. Presidents, celebrities, foreign dignitaries and business leaders from around the world all enjoy spending time here.
During the peak season you can expect to pay top-dollar to stay at The Broadmoor, but during the off-season, there are some amazing deals to be had. The resort's award-winning golf courses are open year-round (weather permitting). You can also enjoy the world-class day spa, tennis, swimming (in the indoor or outdoor pools), and dine at any of several fine-dining restaurants - each offering a unique and extensive wine list. There are also countless other activities to partake in right on the property, plus many local attractions that are well worth visiting nearby.This is a great family-friendly resort (which is pet-friendly). Special kid-oriented activity programs are available. There's also a movie theater on site that provides nightly entertainment. However, The Broadmoor is also the ideal place to hold a business meeting or corporate retreat. The resort has been around since 1918, but has been completely renovated. The landscaping throughout the property, for example, creates a comfortable and visually stunning environment, but it's the extremely comfortable and luxurious guestrooms, plus the superior service, that make one's stay here both comfortable and memorable.
During your stay, be sure to visit the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo (719-633-9925 / www.cmzoo.org), which is located less than five minutes from the resort. Here, you'll find a variety of amazing exhibits, including the African Rift Valley exhibit, which is extremely unique because guests can hand-feed the giraffes.
Another visually amazing, all-natural attraction is the Garden of the Gods. Here you'll find breathtaking rock formations. Throughout the Colorado Springs area, there are many great places to hike and enjoy the outdoors. Once you arrive at the resort, ground transportation can be coordinated, so there's no need for a rental car.
The Broadmoor features 700 guestrooms and suites, 15 on-site restaurants, 185,000-square-feet of flexible meeting and event space, tennis courts, a day spa, and three golf courses - all situated on 3,000 lush acres of land. The resort is located close to the Colorado Springs airport (offering non-stop flights from Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas and Phoenix, for example).
