The Broadmoor

"I will be upfront and say I wasn’t totally sure The Broadmoor could live up to the hype. I was WRONG. This resort is amazing. Everything you need is on property with no real need to leave. We spent a few hours wandering around taking in all of the artwork, decor, and vibes. Pro Tip - contact the concierge before your arrival to get a spot on their tour. We didn’t call until 2 days before and it was full by then. Each restaurant is excellent. The menus vary but each one was delicious. The spa and gym were great, the whirlpool/hot tub overlooking the golf course was fun. The rooms are of course the best part. The amenities great (liquid hand soap at every sink! Literal hotel heaven!). The bed was lovely to look at and sleep on. The staff was phenomenal. Not a single person seemed annoyed by a request, which is extremely impressive given the size of this resort."

"We just had the most beautiful and memorable anniversary stay at the Broadmoor. The staff greeted us by name everywhere we went and knew it was our 46th anniversary. I don’t know how they can give such personalized care with so many people. The room was amazing. Everything was amazing from the Sunday buffet to room service, the pool and outdoor Hot tub Everywhere we went was beautiful and not crowded. Despite all the rooms being booked there was plenty of space to find quiet areas to sit by a fire, sit in a rocking chair over looking the lake of ducks, geese and some swans, or some quiet hallways just to walk around alone. I hope to stay here every year for our anniversary. The Broadmoor lives up to its excellent reputation"

"The hotel itself is an amazing old historical hotel but well kept. Service was top notch. The only complaint I had was the food. We had dinner at LaTavern 2 nights. There was a convention going on so it got busy rather quickly. I ordered a 6oz filet medium that was one of the worst steaks I have ever eaten. It was so overcooked ibut because it was a business meal I didn’t want to send it back or complain but it was definitely not worth the $$&. The bartender I wish I remembered his name was an older gentlemen thst has been there for years served up the best drinks! So we tried this restaurant again only to be disappointed again. I did have lunch at Restaurant 1858 that was amazing. Beautiful views of the falls. The tortilla soup was very good with nice chunks of avocado . Service not so much but food was good. We did go up to The Penrose room for after dinner drinks and dessert great presentation. Overall location was very nice but not a place I would come back to. I did hear that the Golden Bee Restaurant was very good but never got a chance to eat there."
