The Antlers, A Wyndham Hotel – History & Adventure

November 16, 2016 By //  by Lauren 1 Comment

In 1871 Colorado Springs was founded by General William Palmer. By then, the small city had already become a destination for many travelers due to the draw of Pikes Peak and the incredible rock formations of Garden Of The Gods. General Palmer realized the need for an elaborate hotel to cater to these visitors and in 1883 he opened The Antlers Hotel –named for the many antler trophies he displayed in it. The hotel had a hydraulic elevator, gas lights and even central heat. It also boasted amenities such as a music room, billiards room, Turkish bath and barber shop. Unfortunately, after 15 prosperous years, the original Antlers burned to the ground in 1898. It was quickly rebuilt and reopened in 1901 continuing to host guests until 1964, when it was closed, torn-down and again rebuilt to open for the third time in 1967. Over the years, the hotel has gone through different owners and renovations, but has remained at the center of downtown Colorado Springs.

Antlers, A Wyndham Hotel is in a perfect location for those wanting to explore the city center. Although, the hotel offers a wide variety of dining options, there are many additional options only a short walk away. There are also museums, parks, a climbing center, bars, night clubs and more. A short drive leads you into Old Colorado City and Manitou Springs.
