Heaven on Earth
Garden of the Gods Resort and Club completes a property-wide $40-million renovation. The redesign aims to draw attention to the scenic mountain surroundings and the resort’s namesake natural landmark, the Garden of the Gods public park.
Lodge rooms and suites all offer views of the Garden of the Gods and the Rocky Mountains, complimented by soft grays, warm taupes, neutral browns, bronze, and light blue and green accents. The resort completely transformed the Grand View Restaurant by incorporating oak wood flooring and natural materials such as stone, leather and copper, alongside twinkling chandeliers, to create a distinct experiential dining experience that invites the outdoors in. While dining at the restaurant, visitors enjoy unobstructed views of the Garden of the Gods park’s incredible rock formations.
The resort offers over 22,000 sq. ft. of indoor and outdoor event space. Attendees can also enjoy the 27-hole championship golf course.
