The Best Boutique Hotels to Book in Colorado Springs

Set within the award-winning Flying Horse Club and Resort, this lodge has an AAA Four Diamond status. There are 48 rooms, complete with private balconies or patios that look out on to the resort golf course and offer views of the Rocky Mountains beyond. All of the adjoining resort’s amenities and facilities are available for guests to take advantage of, from tennis courts and a golf course, to a swimming pool and spa.

Perched atop a mesa, this AAA Four-Diamond resort and spa boasts spectacular views of the area’s red rock formations. The main resort building houses 56 club rooms and suites with separate living room areas, dining rooms and wet bars to “create a more residential ambience”; roomier cottages and casitas are available for larger groups. As for the special touches, expect gas fireplaces, plush robes and coffee makers in your room.

This property is named after the original hotel that stood on the site; it housed the founder’s large collection of deer and elk trophies. Today’s version of the hotel – which burned down and was later rebuilt – has 273 upscale rooms, including 22 suites with magnificent views of Pikes Peak. On the amenities front there is a fitness center with pools and hot tubs, both indoor and outdoor, a restaurant, bar and lounge.

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. The beautiful lobby is a standout feature, with an Italian marble fireplace and antique piano. Meanwhile, there are 117 rooms with oversized windows, exposed brick walls, and two-person stone showers, plus a restaurant serving up cajun and creole classics.

This quaint award-winning bed and breakfast, which names all but one of the rooms after a flower, promises to charm with its eight bedrooms offering fireplaces, steam showers, saunas and personal hot tubs on private balconies. The African Orchid room features a mosquito-netted, four-poster bed and photographs from the Serengeti to transport guests to the wilds of Africa, while the Colorado Columbine mimics a cosy Colorado ski and fishing lodge with night-blue walls and a mountain mural.
