The Penrose Room –The Broadmoor Hotel, Colorado Springs, Colorado USA

Restaurant

A new chapter in the fine-dining legacy of Colorado's historic Broadmoor hotel, The Penrose Room was named best Restaurant at AHEAD Americas 2026.

Reimagined by Tihany Design, the dining destination pays homage to the legacy of the resort's founders, Spencer and Julie Penrose, through a series of richly layered interiors. Overlooking panoramic views of Cheyenne Mountain, three distinctive dining rooms – Gold Ore, Jade Ore and Copper Ore – each tell a different story through their material palettes, with warm wood, equestrian-inspired leather detailing and sculptural lighting creating a sense of timeless sophistication.

The judges described the restaurant’s considered spatial design as “a masterclass in scale and proportion”, where you could “tuck into a different corner on each visit”. The attention to detail was another highlight, commended as “beautifully layered – elegant, refined, yet approachable”.
