Known as the “Grande Dame of the Rockies,” The Broadmoor has been a vacation destination of choice for presidents, diplomats, and celebrities since its opening. Top-notch amenities and service have earned the Colorado Springs getaway the longest-running Forbes Five-Star and AAA Five Diamond Awards, and continue to draw visitors from around the world.
The area’s moderate climate and pristine location further elevate the experience. Encompassing 5,000 acres, The Broadmoor rests gracefully at the foot of the Rockies. Four distinct seasons offer year-round recreation, including championship golf, tennis, and more. Indoors, guests enjoy a five-star spa, fitness center, and 20 unique restaurants, cafés, and lounges, such as Play, a dining and late-night destination for bowling and global cuisine, and Restaurant 1858, a venue at Seven Falls.
With 185,000 square feet of meeting space, 784 guest rooms, and an in-house AV provider, the resort hosts any type of conference or seminar. To enhance business gatherings, The Broadmoor Outfitters can design half- and full-day events — among them outdoor team-building outings such as fly-fishing, zip-lining, falconry, mountain biking, hiking, and rock climbing, all providing authentic Colorado adventures.
The Broadmoor Wilderness Experience, including The Ranch at Emerald Valley, Cloud Camp, and The Broadmoor Fly Fishing Camp, blends retreats in the Colorado wilderness with the elegance and superior service on which The Broadmoor built its reputation. Another highlight: easy access. Colorado Springs Airport is just 15 minutes from the resort; Denver International Airport is just 75 minutes away.

We visited the Broadmoor on June 8 - June 9, 2014 and our experience was exceptional. Although a smaller group - this program is intended to support about 25 attendees - the level of service and constant support was truly amazing. Ms. Pairitz and her team were top-notch and provided last minute support during a the initial dinner. I say this without reservation: I've planned events for over a decade and I've never been treated so well. We plan to return and will use the Broadmoor as the summer destination for this particular program. I look forward working with this venue + staff again.

The Broadmoor is an exceptional experience. I can't say enough about the resort itself, the conference services staff, food/beverage and the ambiance surrounding it all. We were there during the torrential rains and had to quickly change up our program - they didn't miss a beat and our event was the most successful it's ever been. Truly a gem - thank you!

We chose the Broadmoor for our event knowing that the service and destination would rival a European destination, and that our customers would see that value in using their incentive funds towards such a fantastic and memorable location!

When you partner with convention services at The Broadmoor, you really have secured an outstanding team of professionals for your program. One group I am affiliated with puts Jeremy into their contract as their manager because of how he brings to life the above and beyond experience in a personal way.
A standard of excellence yes, but also, they turn your head in ways you didn't anticipate.

Our group loves this property and cannot wait to return in the Spring 2012! The service levels are top notch, food and beverage is great and the meeting space is laid out well for our needs. It a wonderful place for our group to enjoy a beautiful setting and take in the content of our conference at the same time. It is also easily accessible to the Colorado Springs airport - both in flights and once on the ground it is a quick drive from the airport - or if you prefer to come in and out from Denver that is another option. This property is always a group favorite and drives attendance up for sure!

Cate D. Ameriprise Financial Corporate Planner
The new conference space is not functional for smaller groups.
The restaurant over by the new convention space is too tiny for the vast size of the space. The restaurant should be expanded to accommodate more people thus providing an option for a place to have breakfast and lunch without utilizing another section of the ballroom or the outside patio.
Quality and taste of food is poor compared to other properties. Selection of themed breaks and overall selection of food needs to be expanded.
Overall the service, amenities & location is phenemonal.

My overall experience was great and Elite Meetings gave us a wonderful event, which was further made great by The Broadmoor. One thing that may be a small issue to most people, but is recognized by a meeting professional is that when I arrived on Sunday when I got off the elevator on the third floor, there was a trash receptacle for small items that someone had stuffed a grocery store bag of trash in to and throughout my entire stay until Tuesday afternoon, no one emptied that trash. Unfortunately, it was evident every time we got on and off the elevator and I kept waiting for someone to empty it. That is something that I would never have expected at the Broadmoor. Otherwise, all was great.

THE BROADMOOR ANNOUNCES LATE SUMMER 2014 OPENING OF CLOUD CAMP
Posted May 20, 2014
Colorado Springs, CO—The Broadmoor, the Five-Star, Five-Diamond resort in Colorado Springs, Colorado, announced today the opening of Cloud Camp, a wilderness retreat to be located on Cheyenne Mountain in September 2014.
Cloud Camp, at an elevation of 9,200 feet, overlooks The Broadmoor and the plains to the east, Pikes Peak to the north and the Colorado Rockies to the west. A scenic 25-minute drive from The Broadmoor, the site is currently under development and consists of an 8,000 square foot Main Lodge and eleven guest cabins.
The Main Lodge features a Great Room for guest congregation, with a dining area, bar and two stone fireplaces, along with an expansive timber wrap-around deck offering picturesque mountain views. Seven guest accommodations are located in the Main Lodge, including a luxurious Honeymoon Suite perched on a rock outcropping adjacent to the Main Lodge building. Interiors are rustic, yet elegant.
The eleven cabins are a short walk from the Main Lodge, with beautiful views of Pikes Peak and Pike National Forest. Each cabin features private porches with swings, rocking chairs and hand-crafted wood railings, with some cabins offering a loft space or two bedrooms.
To arrive at Cloud Camp, guests have the option to be transported by Jeep or mule, or enjoy a scenic 2-hour hike. Cloud Camp activities include hiking, nature walks, archery, arts and crafts, cookouts and other culinary events.
“Cloud Camp is modeled after the historic timber and stone lodges found in some of our great national parks,” says Mr. Steve Bartolin, President and CEO of The Broadmoor. “Featuring Cloud Camp as part of our Broadmoor Wilderness Experience offerings, allows us to offer some of the most unique and imaginative accommodation offerings, while continuing to secure our position as America’s premier resort.”

Renovations to Include New Adam D. Tihany Designed Restaurant, Renovated Guest Rooms, New Spacious Tower Suites, and a New Exterior Facade
Colorado Springs, CO—The Broadmoor announced today the details of the second and final phase of renovations in its $100 million, multi-year renovation and expansion project, which begins November, 2013 to be completed May 2014.
Focusing on the extensive renovation and enhancement of the original Broadmoor West building, the second phase of renovations includes the addition of a new Adam D. Tihany designed Italian restaurant, renovated and expanded guest rooms, and a new health-inspired restaurant. Maintaining the Five Star, Five Diamond resort’s standards for impeccable service and unrivaled amenities for which it is known, the new Broadmoor West elevates the overall guest experience, further strengthening The Broadmoor’s position as one of the country’s leading hotels.
Accommodations
Reflecting The Broadmoor’s signature style of marrying luxury with comfort, Broadmoor West renovations include the extensive redesign and expansion of guest rooms with an additional 85 to 200 square feet added per room, living rooms featuring new decorative lighting, chandeliers, furnishings, carpet, and draperies, as well as all-new, five-fixture marble baths added to each bathroom.
A three-story addition to the original West building adds thirty-one guest rooms and suites, bringing The Broadmoor’s total guest room count to 775. Four new suites feature panoramic views of the sprawling property, Cheyenne Lake, and the gorgeous Cheyenne Mountain backdrop.
Food & Beverage
Expanding The Broadmoor’s unparalleled culinary program, Broadmoor West welcomes a brand new Adam D. Tihany designed Italian restaurant, Ristorante del Lago. Situated on the picturesque western edge of Cheyenne Lake, the new dining destination offers a traditional Mediterranean villa appearance to complement a menu of Italian regional cuisine and a robust Italian dominated wine list. The restaurant features an outdoor patio offering spectacular lake views, a private dining room, an expansive “community” dining table, a wine room, charcuterie and cheese cellars, and an exhibition kitchen with a wood burning oven and Rotissiere.
Bar Del Lago, also an Adam D. Tihany design, will be expanded and updated with a traditional Italian appearance to include custom millwork, additional outdoor seating, indoor and outdoor fireplaces, and vintage wine and liquor displays. A lakeside entry will be added to both Risorante del Lago and Bar Del Lago, as well as an internal connection between the two.
Play, The Broadmoor’s unique, retro-inspired restaurant and activity center located on the lobby level of Broadmoor West, remains open during the renovations.
With the re-imagining of Broadmoor West, comes The Broadmoor’s latest café dining option, Natural Epicurean. A philosophy of natural, wholesome, and local cuisine to fuel the body and mind defines the space which will feature a terrace with adjacent produce and herb garden from which ingredients will be harvested. Inside, large windows, wood flooring, and an exhibition kitchen will make this an ideal place to gather for an inspired meal.
Lobby and Exterior
Staying true to The Broadmoor’s grandeur, the Broadmoor West lobby is updated with an expanded concierge and front desk area, fresh décor, and interior design, giving it a more refined and elegant appearance. Magnificent stained glass skylights, marble floors with custom stone insets, finely detailed millwork on the walls and ceilings, woven rugs, and custom decorative chandeliers are added to harmonize the look of the space with the rest of the property’s interior facade.
The entry drive and porte-cochere of Broadmoor West is transformed with custom cast bronze column caps, cast stone balustrade, a new entry fountain, stone flooring, ornate iron work, and a new decorative drive surface and complementary landscaping.
“With the success of our first phase of renovations at The Broadmoor and many months of planning for our second phase, we are looking forward to this final transformation. Our enhancement to Broadmoor West will complement the surrounding property as well as enhance guest experience,” says Steve Bartolin, President of The Broadmoor.

NEW RENOVATIONS ADD TO THE GUEST AND MEETING EXPERIENCE
Posted March 19, 2010
The Broadmoor continues to improve with additional renovations for 2010
Colorado Springs, Colorado (March 19, 2010)...It is not a surprise. The downturn in the economic climate has put most hotel construction and renovation in a deep freeze. Few properties are moving forward with capital expenditures geared at improving the overall guest experience and enhancing meeting space. However, that is not the case at The Broadmoor.
Work began in December, 2009 on three projects totaling $7.5 million that are directly aimed at future guest and meeting experiences, and they are all taking place in Broadmoor West and West Tower.
WestTower - Guest Room Renovation
The WestTower opened in 1995. The building highlights some of the best mountain, lake and golf course views on the property. The 148 rooms and suites of West Tower now feature all new FF&E (furniture, fixtures and equipment) including carpet, wall covering, draperies, fabrics, paint, artwork, new higher end furnishings, new bright work, televisions and shower assist bars in the baths. The exquisite Gaylord Suite sports all new custom furnishings, carpet, draperies and bedding, in addition to a new dining room area and beautifully appointed furniture and planters on its expansive outdoor deck.
Broadmoor West Lobby
Originally opened in 1976 and completely renovated and expanded in 2000, Broadmoor West will also sport a new look including new carpet, paint and furnishings for the all lobby areas as well as the popular West Lobby Bar. In addition, the Lobby Bar's outdoor seating is being expanded with new furnishings and outdoor heaters.
The Broadmoor is the longest-running consecutive winner of both the AAA Five-Diamond and the Forbes/Mobil Travel Guide Five-Star awards.
