The Broadmoor Opens ‘The Overlook’ at Cloud Camp
March 17, 2016
The Broadmoor, a Forbes Five Star, AAA Five Diamond resort, announced March 17 the opening of The Overlook, a 1,500-sf meeting space at The Broadmoor’s Cloud Camp.
The Overlook features high ceilings, a covered front porch and an expansive back deck. Perched on the side of the road that leads to The Broadmoor’s Cloud Camp, The Overlook offers spectacular views of Pikes Peak and the city of Colorado Springs. Accommodating groups of 10 to 70 people, the new space is ideal for small meetings, family gatherings and intimate destination weddings.
Inside The Overlook, guests are privy to historic photos of The Broadmoor’s founder Spencer Penrose’s original Cheyenne Lodge, built in 1926, and images chronicling the development of The Broadmoor’s Cloud Camp. The imagery is complemented by colorful Navajo rugs and custom wrought-iron chandeliers with rawhide shades.
Part of The Broadmoor’s Wilderness Experience portfolio, Cloud Camp is located approximately seven miles from the main resort. Sitting atop Cheyenne Mountain, 3,000 feet above The Broadmoor, Cloud Camp offers 360-degree views of Colorado Springs and the surrounding valley. Inspired by the historic timber and stone lodges of the American West, Cloud Camp is anchored by an 8,000-sf main lodge featuring hand-hewn beams and stone fireplaces, as well as a wraparound deck.
Cloud Camp can sleep small groups of up to 60 guests total, between 12 one- and two-bedroom guest cabins, as well as seven accommodations in the lodge and an adjacent suite. A unique, two-story Fire Tower suite features a living room and bedroom, each with 360-degree views. Each cabin features a private porch, beautifully appointed furnishings, and modern amenities along with spectacular views of Pikes Peak, Colorado’s Front Range and the eastern plains.
In addition to new meeting space at The Overlook, groups enjoy a myriad of activities while guests at Cloud Camp, including hiking, mule rides, archery, yoga, arts and crafts, disk golf and Cloud Camp’s signature nightly Cooking Club, all included in the cost of their stay.
