This historic hotel, at the foot of Pikes Peak, started life in 1873 as a stagecoach stop on the route from Colorado Springs to Leadville. It then evolved into a 20-room boarding house known as ‘The Inn’, before transforming into a sophisticated resort hotel. Today the property has a AAA Four Diamond status, with 54 guest rooms uniquely decorated in the style of the late 1800s.

Built in 1902 as a stock exchange for local mining companies, this luxury boutique hotel, with its own spa, is a great fusion of historic architecture and contemporary accommodations.
