The Broadmoor: Cheyenne Mountain 5,000-acre resort palace with Lake Terrace dining, championship golf, infinity pool, and The Broadmoor Spa

Reigning with majestic Italian Renaissance revival and Rocky Mountain grand palace architectural nobility across 5,000 pristine acres encircling Cheyenne Lake at the foot of Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States (just 15 minutes from Colorado Springs Airport and 75 minutes from Denver International Airport), The Broadmoor opened in 1918 as America’s premier mountain resort grand palace. Celebrating the longest consecutive Forbes Five-Star and AAA Five-Diamond ratings in American hospitality history, the 784-room luxury palace is wrapped in pink Italianate facades, manicured lakeside promenades, and Rocky Mountain pine forests. Centered around championship golf courses designed by Donald Ross and Robert Trent Jones Sr., a monumental heated outdoor lakeside infinity swimming pool with private cabanas, the acclaimed fine-dining institution Summit by Adam D. Tihany, and the palatial Forbes Five-Star Spa at The Broadmoor, this property is the American West’s ultimate heritage grand palace.

Arrival introduces travelers to unvarnished American aristocratic glamour and Cheyenne Mountain alpine splendour: liveried footmen greet guests beneath the towering neoclassical porte-cochère on Lake Circle before entering the soaring marble lobby lounge with 19th-century European oil paintings, crystal chandeliers, and chilled local Colorado sparkling wine or mountain herbal tea with warm artisanal canapés. Day-one logistics focus on coordinating bespoke Colorado alpine, golf, and wilderness pursuits: boarding the historic Broadmoor Manitou and Pikes Peak Cog Railway to summit 14,115-foot Pikes Peak (15 minutes away), private fly fishing along pristine mountain streams on the resort’s private wilderness ranches (in resort), championship golf rounds across the historic Donald Ross East Course (steps away), swimming in the lakeside infinity pool overlooking the mountains, indulging in hydrotherapy and pine therapies at the Forbes Five-Star Spa at The Broadmoor, sipping artisanal bourbon cocktails in the Golden Bee 19th-century English pub, and reserving dinner at Summit or Ristorante del Lago.

Palace living balances active Rocky Mountain adventure with serene lakeside sanctuary wellness: The Spa at The Broadmoor spans 43,000 square metres featuring 37 private luxury treatment rooms, natural stone steam rooms, saunas, hydrotherapy vitality pools, and therapies utilizing organic Colorado pine, wildflower honey, and ESPA skincare. Dining is an extraordinary American-international culinary summit: contemporary American gastronomy at Summit (celebrated for Colorado wagyu beef, Rocky Mountain trout, and an iconic two-story glass wine tower), authentic Italian dining at Ristorante del Lago, lakeside Sunday brunch at Lake Terrace, authentic fish and chips at the 19th-century transplanted English pub The Golden Bee, and 24-hour in-room royal dining.

Accommodations comprise 784 rooms, luxury executive suites, and standalone lakeside cottages styled in classical Italianate elegance, rich mahogany boiserie, deep freestanding marble soaking bathtubs, and French doors opening onto private furnished stone balconies framing Cheyenne Lake and the Rocky Mountains ranging from 42 to 240 square metres. Each residence features plush king beds with custom linens, and marble bathrooms with deep soaking bathtubs, embedded TV mirrors, and custom Broadmoor signature botanical amenities.

Heritage purists, championship golfers, and luxury travelers seeking Colorado Springs seclusion, Forbes Five-Star spa, and Summit dining in Colorado should book The Broadmoor without hesitation.
