Reviewers consistently highlight the pools, spa, and grounds as first-class, contributing to an overall polished, upscale experience.

Location & Surroundings

The resort sits extremely close to natural and cultural landmarks, including Garden of the Gods (1.1 miles), Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site (363m), and the Garden of the Gods Off-Leash Area (594m) for dog owners. Farther afield, guests can reach Red Rock Canyon, Cave of the Winds Mountain Park, Manitou Cliff Dwellings, the Manitou and Pikes Peak Cog Railway, The Broadmoor and its Seven Falls, the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum and Training Center, and Pikes Peak itself, all within a roughly 15-mile radius.

Best for

This resort suits travelers seeking an upscale, scenic escape close to Colorado Springs' iconic natural landmarks, particularly golfers and spa-goers given the 27-hole course and full-service salon and spa. Couples or guests celebrating special occasions will appreciate the mountain-view dining, plush rooms, and country-club ambiance, while outdoor enthusiasts benefit from the proximity to Garden of the Gods, Red Rock Canyon, and Cave of the Winds.

Travel tips

Book dinner reservations with attire in mind, as the Club Dining Room requires jackets for men after 6 p.m. and resort-casual dress is expected throughout. Since Garden of the Gods is just over a mile away and several other attractions (Red Rock Canyon, Manitou Cliff Dwellings, Cave of the Winds) are within a few miles, a car is useful for exploring the wider area, including farther sites like Pikes Peak and Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. The resort fee bundles pool access, Wi-Fi, and valet parking, so factor that into your overall cost expectations.

What guests say

Reviewers consistently praise the resort's staff, calling out specific team members and departments -- including events and banquet teams -- for attentive, polished, and proactive service. Many highlight the property's mountain views and grounds, along with the pools, spa, and overall clean, modern feel as first-class. Room comfort is another recurring positive, with guests noting plush beds and comfortable seating areas. A minor recurring critique is that the dining menu could use more variety, and a couple of reviewers mentioned slower service at times before their food and drink orders were taken.
