Rocky Mountain Golf Getaway: Lodge and Spa at Cordillera, Colorado

Conde Nast Traveler Gold list. AAA Four Diamond award, 15 consecutive years. Best in Colorado, Golf Digest. Best Romantic Getaway in North America, Mountain Living Magazine. The list of awards is staggering. Situated on a mountain top in a 6,500-acre private wilderness, with sweeping views of the Rocky Mountains, The Lodge and Spa at Cordillera is a magical mountain hideaway. After a $5 million renovation in 2004, the 56 luxurious guest rooms have new bathrooms with tumbled-stone floors and extravagant new linens, the Avanyu spa has been expanded to 20,000 square feet with new treatment rooms and amenities, and the acclaimed Mirador restaurant boasts a new private dining area, new menu, and elegant wine cellar.

Besides the excellent winter skiing at nearby Vail or Beaver Creek, The Lodge and Spa at Cordillera is known for its world-class golf. The resort features access to six championship golf courses, designed by several of the greatest names in golf (Jack Nicklaus, Hale Irwin, Tom Fazio, Dave Pelz, and Greg Norman). The facilities are excellent, and the scenery absolutely breathtaking. For a limited time, the resort is taking 30 percent off its fall golf packages, which includes two nights accommodations, a round of golf per person, one couples massage, and a dinner for two. Rates are $426 per person, September 5-30, 2006, and $386 per person, October 1-31, 2006.
