After a more than $200-million renovation, the B, as frequent guests call this hostelry, truly shines. The Old World ambience in Broadmoor Main—the signature pink building with the Mediterranean-style towers—was gussied up; small rooms were made larger, bathrooms were remodeled, and craftsmen restored the frescoes, walls, and ceilings in public areas. The spacious rooms in the cozier Lakeside building, most with fireplaces and either patios or balconies, are standouts. The South Tower's newly renovated rooms vary in size from snug to immense—request one with a lake-view balcony. In summer, families gather around the large infinity pool, which appears to flow into Cheyenne Lake. The award-winning spa offers innovative treatments such as a pearl glow body therapy, which uses pearl powder combined with a body lotion to hydrate and exfoliate the skin, and a range of massages including Thai, Swedish, hot stone, and Ashiatsu. The tennis center and its instructors are excellent. Pros: you'll be thoroughly pampered at this world-class resort, choosing where to eat may be difficult because there are so many good options. Cons: very expensive, rooms in the original West building are the least desirable.
