Mining Exchange locale to open in Colorado Springs next year
The new Mining Exchange luxury hotel in downtown Colorado Springs, Colo., will fly the Wyndham Grand Hotel flag when it opens next year. The new hotel will be housed in four historic buildings dating from the early 20th century, including the 110-year-old Mining Exchange, which was built in 1900 by Winfield Scott Stratton and served as the primary stock exchange for the western U.S. The property, owned and operated by Mining Exchange Group LLC, is currently under development and is expected to open in the second quarter of 2011.
Wyndham said the hotel's design, by owner Perry R. Sanders Jr. and Colorado Springs-based Bobby Hill Designs, will infuse historic architecture with modern accommodations. The Mining Exchange building will serve as the hotel's main building, housing 57 of the hotel's guest rooms. To reflect their original grandeur, each of the historic buildings is being renovated, including the Mining Exchange building's solid granite exterior perimeter walls, which have been uncovered and exposed inside and out.
The luxury hotel's 119 guest rooms, including two presidential, 12 grand and 35 junior suites, will be elegantly appointed with hand-crafted furnishings, flat screen televisions, 12-foot ceilings, travertine and granite floors and matching custom granite countertops throughout the room and bathroom.
The hotel's lobby will feature an ornate walk-in vault, and its on-site offerings will include an X300 restaurant, and an on-site spa with six treatment rooms. The neighboring art deco-style Municipal Utilities Building will be connected to the hotel by a skyway and will provide over 20,000 sq. ft. of flexible meeting/event space.
“The Mining Exchange, a Wyndham Grand Hotel, truly exhibits the distinctive attributes and style found in the Wyndham Grand Collection's expanding portfolio of hotels,” said Jeff Wagoner, president of Wyndham Hotels and Resorts. “Downtown Colorado Springs is in the early stages of a great revitalization and we look forward to being a part of its growth with this unique development project.”
