5. The Broadmoor: Colorado Springs
The Broadmoor has impressed visitors and industry experts since it opened in 1918, earning it the title of the longest-running consecutive winner of both the AAA Five Diamond and Forbes Five Star awards. So, it’s no surprise that it is one of Colorado’s top romantic destinations. While The Broadmoor is a stellar resort by any measure, the Colorado Springs fixture stands out in two categories: food and activities.
6. Garden of the Gods: Colorado Springs
Also located in Colorado Springs, Garden of the Gods earns its distinction as a National Natural Landmark with sandstone rock formations jutting 300 feet upward and scraping the sky. Couples can start their visits with a sunrise hot air balloon flight, which comes with a light breakfast and Champagne, before picking up maps from the visitor and nature center to use while spending almost a full day hiking around the red rock formations. Adventurous duos can also enjoy bike and electric bike rides, Jeep or Segway tours, and even climbing excursions. Once lovebirds have worked up an appetite, they can grab lunch at the Garden of the Gods Market and Cafe or bring a packed lunch to one of numerous secluded picnic areas.
