Scene
Luxurious, historic hotel with extravagant Old World decor
Guests arriving at The Broadmoor are welcomed in the property’s original building, Broadmoor Main, which dates back to 1918. The pink stucco building has a few elements of Italian Renaissance architecture, with its Tuscan-style tower and triple-arched entrance. Stepping inside, the opulent interiors of this five-pearl property are reminiscent of a European palace, with painted ceilings, marble floors, ornate furniture, richly patterned carpets and curtains, crystal chandeliers suspended from the ceiling, and oil paintings hanging on the walls. Outside, the beautifully landscaped gardens and lawns are punctuated with intricately sculpted fountains and stone-floor terraces. This huge property of 3,000 acres has its own man-made lake, circled by a tree-lined path leading to the many other buildings, accommodation units, and the villas and brownstones, which occupy their own streets. The ambiance throughout is one of lavish Old World opulence. The property hosts many conventions and conferences, with business travelers making up a large part of its clientele; it's also popular with families. Many prominent guests have stayed here, including celebrities, heads of state, famous athletes, and prominent businessmen.
