World Renowned in a Quaint Little Town

In a small town of approximately 5500 residents, you probably wouldn't expect to find much more than a Hamby's and a General store... but this little town has so much more!  Manitou Springs , CO, a mere 10 minutes from downtown Colorado Springs and only 45 minutes south of Denver, is home to rich, American history. 

One of many award-winning establishments in Manitou is the Cliff House.  This luxury hotel has been host to many historical dignitaries including Clark Gable, Teddy Roosevelt, PT Barnum, Buffalo Bill Cody and Thomas Edison.  Cliff House features celebrity suites reflective of these past guests and dining that is simply extraordinary.  Originally built in 1874 as a 20 room boarding house, it has since come a long way.  Recent hotel and dining awards include:

Four Diamonds - AAA Historic Country Inn 2002 - 2008
