Our Colorado Springs Lodging Picks

Our lodging “best picks” in Colorado Springs include something for all price ranges and all types of stays. We've focused on The Five Star Resort, The Bed & Breakfast, The Hotel and The Cabin Rental.

We’ve either personally stayed in these accommodations or have heard so many good reviews from friends and fellow travelers that we decided to include them in our list.

Our taste in lodging leans toward clean, quiet, functional, and affordable.

But occasionally we'll throw down some money for that extra mile of luxury, great design, and exceptional service.

Ideally, we like choices that offer mountain views, or close proximity to nature, so you can enjoy the outdoor beauty of Colorado Springs.

Choices abound, of course, and there are many we'd like to include and haven't, but here is a quick list of our favorite picks in town and nearby.

THE 5-STAR RESORT: The Broadmoor

The Broadmoor Hotel & Resort is the premier luxury resort in Colorado Springs. Very Great Gatsby out West. In the shadow of Cheyenne Mountain, this is a beautiful, sprawling compound of opulence.

Cafes, Lounges, Golf Courses, Tennis Club, Spas. It even has its own lake. We’ve driven around the resort grounds and it’s quite a sight.

Their annual holiday lights displays are truly impressive, and attract many locals every Christmas.

The Broadmoor has been lauded with numerous awards, and it’s been positively reviewed in countless magazines and television shows.

We can’t comment on the service yet, as we haven’t experienced The Broadmoor first-hand, but we’re guessing you’ll get what you pay for.

This is a top choice for people seeking a five-star golf vacation, as they have 3 championship golf courses. They have also hosted PGA Matches, the US Senior Open, and the US Women's Open. Golf Digest considers it one of the Top Ten resorts in North America and has rated it #1 in Service.

This southwestern style Inn is located in one of our favorite areas, the foothills below Pikes Peak right in the “town” of Cascade. It's really more of a neighborhood up in the mountains, and the location is fantastic. It doesn't get any more “mountain getaway” than this.

With room features like adobe walls, kiva fireplaces, cozy lighting, Native American folk art, and your own private patio, this is a wonderful place for a romantic escape or honeymoon. Or even a personal escape to gaze at the mountains and take in some birdwatching.

One of our favorite restaurant picks is also in this same neighborhood. Wines of Colorado, which has creek side dining and wine tasting. Having a glass of wine under the pines next to a babbling brook is kind of a perfect night for us. Maybe you'll like it too.

For nearby activities, you are about 1 mile from the Pikes Peak Highway leading to the summit, and within just a few minutes is the quirky town of Manitou Springs, the Cave of the Winds, and the Cliff Dwellings.

You're only 15 minutes west of Colorado Springs if you want to seek out other attractions and explore the city itself.

The Inn at Cascade serves up local produce for breakfast along with their continental fare served right in your suite.

They also offer a cabin rental if you desire more privacy, and have several special packages available, but whatever you decide, this Colorado Springs lodging choice is a winner.

The Hyatt Summerfield Suites are a great Colorado Springs lodging option if you like or need a little more room than a hotel offers, and especially if you like to cook your own food on vacation.

These suites surprised us. The service was excellent, the rooms were clean and modern, and there was a business center that let us surf the net at all hours. Very cool. Also has a 24-hour fitness center. Bonus.

Located farther north in the city than our other picks, this is still a solid choice due to its close proximity to I-25, the main thoroughfare. We stayed here for a wedding weekend, and were very happy with it.

If you’re looking for a mountain cabin escape, this little place should do the trick. It’s our favorite cabin hideaway. Located about ten minutes west of Colorado Springs in Green Mountain Falls, the Mariposa Cabin is a charmer up in the foothills.

You’re only a few minutes from all the Pikes Peak region’s attractions, and Green Mountain Falls itself is a fun little town to explore. Within walking distance, there’s a fountain and gazebo, and we visited the town swimming pool several times when we stayed.

Or just sit in one of the Mariposa Cabin’s lounge chairs on the deck—it’s a great place to have a cup of coffee and gaze at the amazing views.

Rates: $65/night or $390/week
