ABOUT US

The sky’s the limit at this stately property: The full-service spa and wellness center features nature-inspired treatments, facilities and activities; the respite reinforces its inspiring ambience with a balcony overlooking the majestic Rockies. Guest rooms and suites provide comfort with high-tech conveniences, and indoor-outdoor meeting and event space totals 40,000 square feet. It also boasts the only immersive, in-hotel flight stimulator in the United States.

A restorative oasis, Ascend Spa & Wellness takes the health journey to new heights, introducing classic treatments and programs combined with adventure, rejuvenation and vitality practices evocative of the Academy’s principles.

Other favorites include the Skin Immuni-D Facial, which delivers a powerful combination of advanced Enviro-D immune-boosting technology with Vitamins B5, C, D, E and K, peptides and restorative oils to repair the skin barrier and increase collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid production.

Facilities & Amenities
The Colorado Springs hotel retreat, situated adjacent to the Academy at the base of Pikes Peak, allows prime access to the region’s exquisite landscapes. Guests are encouraged to pilot their own experiences on-premises and off, alternating from the adventurous—biking the nearby Garden of the God’s red rock formations, riding the cog railway to Pikes Peak’s 14,000+-foot summit, and participating in the hotel’s kid-friendly Junior Cadet program—to the serene: The lovely Polaris’s outdoor pool and sun deck summon leisure seekers. Nature-influenced wellness programs include group hikes and sunrise yoga, or exercise enthusiasts can find time for a workout at the innovative fitness center. An event and entertainment lawn—which includes bocce ball, an oversized chess set and a 20-foot fireplace—resides a stone’s throw from the Santa Fe Trail. Additionally, slipping into the cockpit of one of three on-site immersive flight simulators (two F-16 and one 737 MAX) is a must during every stay.
Rooms & Dining
The 375 mid-century modern-designed rooms and suites serve as comfortable, elegant respites, complete with the latest technological touches. Supporting the overall sophisticated feel is a color palette of blue, silver and gray, enhanced by rich walnut and tambor woods and built-in, velvet-upholstered headboards; striking black-and-white aviation photographs adorn the walls. The chic esthetic further soars with sensational views of either the Rockies, Air Force Academy or Colorado sunrises.
Six curated restaurants and bars delight even the most discerning palate and pay homage to both the region and the Academy’s rich heritage. The signature Pamela’s pairs traditional American fare—High Country meatloaf, Rocky Mountain trout, Colorado lamb lollipops and 16-oz. bison cowboy ribeye—with local spirits, wines and beers. At the rooftop Aviator, craft libations and creative light bites are as impressive as the Academy and Rocky Mountain vistas. Doolies soda shop appeals to all with its quintessential diner menu—although the flight simulator is the centerpiece of this fun, family-friendly eatery. Other options include the swanky Thunderbird Bar for cocktails and the convenient Quick Provisions for grab-and-go snacks and specialty coffees.
