First of all, the views are incredible—from every single room. Not just the hotel rooms, the public spaces, too. The resort sits on a hilltop overlooking the visitor center at Garden of the Gods, and it was designed to maximize the one-of-akind vantage point of the red rock formations so beautiful, their name evokes a religious experience. Every room of this resort hotel perched atop a mesa faces west so you wake up to the sun blazing on the natural sculptures, and every sunset concludes behind Pikes Peak. Check-in begins, and you’ll want to soak it all in, preferably from your private patio or balcony (every room has one), should the temperatures allow.
