That’s exactly what we did this past Christmas. I packed up the family, including my toddler Hank the Tank, and headed to one of the most festive places imaginable. From the moment we pulled up to the palatial grand entrance of the hotel, we knew our family was in for a spectacular treat. Every corner of the hotel was meticulously decorated with trees donned in all types of ornaments and festive charms. Naturally, Hank’s favorite was the enormous ginger- bread house in the main lobby. We had to keep guard to help him resist scooping up the rooftops of icing, the gumdrop walls and the oodles of marshmallows—but we grown ups, too, had a hard time resisting this magnificent creation. Checking in, we discovered that, for anyone bringing a toddler or baby, the resort offers cribs with special handmade quilts to guarantee a restful night’s sleep. They even provide bath time treats. A wonderfully wrapped bag of toys with baby lotions and soaps kept Hank clean and entertained—plus, they made for great swimming buddies once we headed down to the indoor pool. Regardless of the weather out- side, The Broadmoor’s indoor pool is warm and comfortable all season long. The pool has stairs for the shy swimmers to hang out around, deep areas for serious swimmers who want to get a workout, and plenty of space for a rousing game of Marco Polo. The two-lane outdoor lap pool is open year round and the outdoor hot tub would be dreamy in a snowstorm, with flakes melting on your face. The Big Show We washed up quickly after the pool dip, because there were plenty of fun-filled activities to pack into our visit—none more important than The Broadmoor Christmas show and din- ner, A Classic Broadmoor Christmas. Ken Miller, The Broadmoor’s Director of Entertainment, puts on a show that is nothing short of spec- tacular. What else would we expect from the Five-Star establishment? The 105 broadmoor.com
