Colorado's Legendary Broadmoor Celebrates 100 Years

Affectionately known as the grand dame resort of the Rockies, The Broadmoor, in Colorado Springs, Colorado, is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. Designed to represent the bold ideas of a man named Spencer Penrose, the property was something Colorado travelers had never seen before when it opened in 1918—a grand hotel where European service met Western hospitality, all amid a setting of striking beauty. As part of its centennial celebrations, The Broadmoor has just completed sweeping renovations.
