Seven is more than just a lucky number for the Hotel Elegante Conference and Event Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. This recently renovated property is on seven acres just seven miles from the Colorado Springs Airport and the Garden of the Gods National Natural Monument. The scenic backdrop of the Rocky Mountains sets the stage for the grand experiences and cozy mountainside accommodations the hotel provides for its guests throughout its 500 rooms and suites.
Each room comes equipped with free Wi-Fi and flat-screen HD TVs, as well as luxuries like plush 13-inch Simmons Beautyrest Pillowtop mattresses and Bath and Body Works bath amenities. Guests can choose from a variety of floor plans, including poolside suites that are perfect for families and loft suites that make en suite entertaining a breeze. The Premier Rooms allow access to the Premiere Level, where guests can enjoy complimentary breakfast each morning and complimentary hors d’oeuvres and cocktails in the evening.
Experiences on-site range from an outdoor pool and beach volleyball in the summer to a heated indoor pool and hot tub, as well as a dog park for small and large dogs. This hotel keeps an active schedule for families with a Fun Zone and a wading pool designed just for kids and a 24-hour fitness center with basketball, tennis and pickleball courts for adults. Running and walking paths make it easy to explore around the seven acres, and the hotel’s partnership with the Lotus Salon means those exploring feet don’t have to lack pampering.
As the second-largest hotel in Colorado Springs, Hotel Elegante is set up to welcome groups of all sizes with more than 50,000 square feet of flexible meeting space. Many groups choose to gather around the table at the hotel’s three on-site dining facilities: Rustler’s Country Café, Rawhide Sports Bar and the Sweet Tooth. This shop has become a must-visit for a morning Starbucks fix or to sample Colorado City Creamery’s famous ice cream flavors as a treat before a big meeting or event.
