<br />
Colorado Springs, Colorado (March 19, 2010)...It is not a surprise. The downturn in the economic climate has put most hotel construction and renovation in a deep freeze. Few properties are moving forward with capital expenditures geared at improving the overall guest experience and enhancing meeting space. However, that is not the case at The Broadmoor. <br />
 <br />
Work began in December, 2009 on three projects totaling $7.5 million that are directly aimed at future guest and meeting experiences, and they are all taking place in Broadmoor West and West Tower.<br />
 <br />
WestTower - Guest Room Renovation<br />
<br />
The WestTower opened in 1995. The building highlights some of the best mountain, lake and golf course views on the property. The 148 rooms and suites of West Tower now feature all new FF&amp;E (furniture, fixtures and equipment) including carpet, wall covering, draperies, fabrics, paint, artwork, new higher end furnishings, new...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[We Perform. Or it's Free.<br />
<br />
Colorado Springs, Colo. (March 3, 2009) - In an unprecedented move, The Broadmoor announced today that they will stand behind their service, staff and facilities by providing a guarantee for new group business held in 2009 and 2010: If your Broadmoor meeting doesn't deliver superior value in service, facilities and quality, the master account will be waived. <br />
The Broadmoor promise is simple. It is steadfast. <br />
<br />
"We feel that in difficult times it is more important than ever to bring people together," says Steve Bartolin, President and CEO.  "At the same time, organizations want to be certain they are making a responsible decision in doing so.  I can't think of a better way to assure that decision then by guaranteeing the outcome, or the entire meeting is free.  To my knowledge, this has never been done before and it demonstrates the confidence we have in our staff."]]></description>
