"The setting is like a grand hotel in the Alps." "The clear blue sky and clean mountain air add to the classic charm" of this 94-year-old mainstay built on the site of a former dairy farm below Cheyenne Mountain. Outdoor activities include golf, fly-fishing, and paddle-boating. Writer Joan Didion used to ice-skate here as a child. "The food is outstanding, especially the Maryland lump crab salad at Charles Court"; American brasserie Summit was designed by Adam Tihany. Rooms come with views of the mountain or Cheyenne Lake; six Cape Cod–style cottages, most with eight bedrooms, are separate from the main hotel, located along the eighteenth fairway of the East Course."
