Culinary Comfort My first stop at the Broadmoor was The Golden Bee, an authentic 19th-century English pub that was shipped and reconstructed, panel by panel, in 1961. The pub remains an authentically cozy atmosphere of warm woods and traditional craftsmanship, perfectly recreating the feel of a familiar neighborhood watering hole from the old country. It’s just one of many dining options, from the French-influenced La Tarverne to the rustic Restaurant 1858, located at the base of the majestic Seven Falls series of waterfalls. Seated at Ristorante Del Lago with a glass of Italian red and fresh house-made pasta, it would be easy to convince yourself you’ve been transported to the elegant shores of Lake Como. Fine dining is just the beginning of the Broadmoor experience. Top Golf The 2025 US Senior Open was played on the East Course, perched in the foothills of the Cheyenne Mountains at an elevation of more than 6,300 feet. The East Course is renowned for its expansive, tree-lined fairways and wide, well-maintained greens. In contrast, the West Course is tighter off the tee, featuring rolling fairways, heavily tree-lined holes, and breathtaking views of both the mountains and Colorado Springs. A perfect blend of natural beauty and rich history!

Lodging Locations Guest rooms evoke the finest European luxury hotels, complemented by modern comforts. An array of rooms and suites offer views of the Rockies’ purple mountain’s majesty or the twin lakes behind the main hotel building. The Penrose suite may be the pinnacle of accommodations. It’s the well-preserved apartment of Mrs. Julie Penrose, who lived there from 1944 until 1957. The suite was left essentially intact, with only sympathetic upgrades to modern amenities. If you’d like more room, cottages and brownstones can accommodate family or corporate gatherings with enhanced privacy and superior service. For the ultimate group setting, the estate house features five bedrooms, a grand parlor that accommodates up to 60 guests, an opulent dining room with seating for 16, and a gourmet kitchen ideally suited for any occasion. Architect Thomas MacLaren oversaw the design and construction in the late 1920s, and the home was expanded in the 1930s to create a sanctuary just steps from the resort’s main campus. Additionally, The Broadmoor has earned a spot as a top wedding destination, and the convention center caters to both work and play business events. Elite Excursions Pike’s Peak is the star attraction in the region. You can hike up it, take a bus, or, my favorite, ride the Cog Railway. It’s a 3.5-hour round-trip tour, and depending on how many donuts you eat at the café, it’s easy to doze off on the return trip. Broadmoor Outfitters can plan more active excursions, from hiking to fly fishing. Adventurous souls will enjoy the Broadmoor Soaring Adventure, which consists of 10 zip lines among two courses that range from 250 feet to 1,800 feet. You’ll need to be prepared for moderate hiking, traversing rope bridges, and a controlled 180-foot rappel that features stunning views of the waterfalls and the canyon below. Popular hiking options include easy trails winding through the sandstone formations of the Garden of the Gods and Red Rock Open Space, the forested gateway views of North Cheyenne Cañon, or the more strenuous Section 16 trail.
