The Broadmoor (Colorado Springs, Colorado)

Published October 4, 2025 | Rocky Mountain Golf & Spa Destinations

⛳ Quick Facts

Overview

At the foot of Cheyenne Mountain, The Broadmoor wraps a private lake, pink-stone towers, and crisp alpine air into one legendary retreat. It's perfect for couples balancing play and pampering—morning fairways under bluebird skies, afternoons steeped in spa serenity, and golden-hour strolls along the water.

Where to Stay

Choose the lakeside elegance of the Main Complex, the seclusion of the brownstones, or a high-country escape at Cloud Camp. Rooms blend classic European styling with Rocky Mountain views; many include balconies, fireplaces, and soaking tubs made for lingering.

Golf

The Broadmoor Golf Club pairs Donald Ross bones with Robert Trent Jones Sr. refinements. The East Course has hosted USGA championships, its quick greens and subtle fall-of-the-mountain breaks keeping everyone honest. Mountain vistas, pond reflections, and thin air add drama—and a few bonus yards—to every swing.

Day Spa

The Spa at The Broadmoor is a tranquil, light-filled sanctuary: eucalyptus steam, dry saunas, oxygen rooms, and quiet lounges overlooking the lake. From alpine-aroma massages to mineral soaks, treatments are designed for deep restoration—perfect pre- or post-round.

Dining

Dress up for the Penrose Room (Colorado's only Forbes Five-Star, AAA Five-Diamond restaurant), share handmade pastas at Ristorante del Lago, and sing along at the historic Golden Bee. Morning cappuccinos on the Lake Terrace with mountain views make an easy ritual for two.

Nearby Attractions

Walk the red-rock cathedrals of Garden of the Gods, ride the Pikes Peak Cog Railway to 14,115 feet, or climb the staircase beside Seven Falls before zip-lining the canyon. Adventure is minutes away—and every outing ends with sunset colors mirrored on the lake.
