Hotel giant announces new Dolce Resort in Colorado Springs expanding meetings offerings for planners.
LAS VEGAS – Hospitality giant Wyndham Hotel Group announced the latest addition to its expanding Dolce Hotels and Resorts brand: Cheyenne Mountain Colorado Springs, a Dolce Resort. Growing Dolce's portfolio of leading group and meetings destinations, the resort represents a step forward in the company's mission to increase its diverse offerings for meeting planners.
The new addition becomes the fourth resort to join the Dolce brand since it was acquired by Wyndham Hotel Group. Focused on connectivity, creativity and nourishment, the brand's IACC-certified hotels offer creative spaces designed to inspire discovery. The new resort also builds on the company's escalating growth momentum in the group and meeting space: in 2017, Wyndham Hotel Group opened 415 hotels adding 150 new meeting spaces in the U.S. alone.
"Wyndham Hotel Group partners with meeting and event planners on every type of meeting – whether a major convention, an intimate board meeting or something in between – across our expansive portfolio," said Barry Goldstein, Wyndham Hotel Group's chief marketing officer. "As demand for meetings travel continues to grow, we will continue expanding our unsurpassed portfolio with unique and flexible spaces in the most coveted destinations."
Cheyenne Mountain Colorado Springs, a Dolce Resort, offers 316 guest rooms and suites with mountain views across 200 scenic acres of southern Colorado landscape. A true Rocky Mountain retreat, the resort is home to more than 40,000 sq. ft. (3,700 square meters) of flexible event space alongside a 35-acre private lake and golf course. The hotel is owned by Dr. Kiran Patel, Florida philanthropist and frequent partner developing some of Wyndham Hotel Group's most impressive hotels including the striking Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach opened earlier this year.
