I’m not sure if I mentioned it, but this was my first visit to Colorado. Why Colorado Springs? I was attending a conference at the Broadmoor.

If you’re a regular on the conference circuit, you probably know about The Broadmoor. Every mention of this resort and those in the know will comment on the beautiful property and its well-earned reputation as a destination that will impress. Set in the foothills of the Colorado Rockies, The Broadmoor features over 700 rooms, 3 golf courses, pools, spa… on and on. It’s family-friendly and pet-friendly (easily evident by the number of furry four-footed guests I saw during my daily travels). While the photos below will reveal the grand scale and natural beauty of this property, I was most impressed by the service. No matter how great the hotel, I find exceptional service is what leaves the most indelible impression.
