Colorado Springs Travel

by Staff Writer

Unlike the rest of the famous cities of the state, Colorado Springs first became famous not for her gold, or for her ranching. Colorado Springs, since its very inception in 1871, was a tourist town. In fact, at the time, it was the first ever resort destination west of the great city of Chicago.

Like many beautiful regions with flowing natural waters, clever city administrators talked up the healing powers of the city’s springs. Combined with the beauty of the environment and the stimulating mountain air, Colorado Springs was a spa destination for the wealthy and privileged from its very first days.

Today, people may no longer make the pilgrimage for the “healing waters,” but they are still coming, by the hundreds of thousands a year. Visitors come to visit historical western heritage sites, to climb Pike’s Peak, to find “New Life,” and to visit the nationally renowned United States Air Force Academy, made famous by their graduates’ own valor and expertise, and of course, the film Top Gun.

The Colorado Springs Comfort Suites and Sleep Inn are “sister” hotels residing side by side on Kelly Johnson Boulevard, just minutes from all these popular destinations. We offer luxury accommodations at roadside motel prices. We are proud to be part of a community which has devoted itself to serving the needs of visitors for over 130 years. Thank you for considering us for your upcoming Colorado Springs stay.
