While situated approximately 8 miles from the Garden of the Gods main entrance, The Broadmoor stands as the quintessential anchor of luxury in the Rocky Mountain West. Since opening its doors in 1918, this 5,000-acre property has established itself as the world’s longest-running consecutive Forbes Five-Star and AAA Five-Diamond resort. Operating as a self-contained village of European elegance, the resort offers a diverse array of accommodations ranging from classic guest rooms to private brownstones and estate houses.

The resort’s “Wilderness Experience” portfolio offers a rugged counterpoint to its manicured grounds, featuring satellite retreats like Cloud Camp and The Ranch at Emerald Valley that mirror the outdoor allure of the park. On-site, guests have access to two championship golf courses, a world-class spa, and specialized adventures including falconry, fly fishing, and guided rock climbing. The culinary ecosystem is equally impressive, boasting 20 restaurants and lounges, highlighted by the Penrose Room—Colorado’s only Forbes Five-Star restaurant—ensuring that a day of hiking can be capped with unrivaled fine dining.
