W Walking by our table, the maître-d of the Golden Bee subtly flicked a small, embroidered honey bee at each of our lapels like a behind-the-back Jordan pass. It landed perfectly, leaving a startling yet welcome reminder of our dinner at this Irish pub. The Golden Bee is one of The Broadmoor’s signature dining experiences, but it’s only an introduction to a sweeping monument to comfort and connections. Local industrialists Spencer and Julia Penrose brought their singular vision of a grand European hotel to life on the southwest edge of Colorado Springs, nestled at the foot of Cheyenne Mountain. Stepping into the west lobby of the Broadmoor is like stepping back in time to 1919 when the Forbes Five-Star Resort opened its doors. Like the original stained glass ceiling panels and Italian Renaissance flair, The Broadmoor remains unwavering in its commitment to providing an exceptional experience more than a century later.
