Interiors

The Chamonix Casino & Hotel stands in the historic town of Cripple Creek, Colorado, as a luxurious homage to the area’s rich architectural heritage. Following a devastating fire in the late 1880s that led to the banning of wood construction for downtown businesses, the town quickly rebuilt with brick and stone, a legacy preserved in Chamonix’s design, where materials and details reflect the historic buildings along Bennett Avenue. Marrying the grandeur of European elegance with the rugged charm of the Colorado mountains, our design of the property’s amenities, guestrooms, and suites creates an inviting retreat that honors both past and present.

Indulgence in Every Detail

The destination offers a range of exceptional amenities designed to enhance the guest experience. The luxurious spa and salon provide a tranquil escape where Victorian influences meet modern pampering. Guests can relax and rejuvenate in an environment filled with rich textures and finishes that recall the glamour of Cripple Creek’s past. The adjacent fitness center, outfitted with state-of-the-art equipment and framed by arched mirrors, offers panoramic views of the Colorado mountains, combining wellness with breathtaking natural beauty. The hotel’s meeting and conference facilities, adorned with crystal chandeliers and custom-designed carpets, blend elegance and functionality, perfect for both intimate gatherings and large-scale events.

Historic Charm, Modern Comfort
