Pools, spa and access rules for kids

The property operates three swimming pools and three hot tubs, including indoor pools that are open year-round and an outdoor seasonal lake-side pool and children’s slide pool. Pool hours and the season for outdoor facilities can vary; guests have reported typical daytime hours for the outdoor pool during the season.

Pool and spa access is strictly reserved for registered overnight guests and Golf Club members — outside day visitors cannot purchase access. The Spa at The Broadmoor and the Fitness & Wellness Center also restrict access to registered overnight guests and Golf Club members; spa hours are daily 8:30 a.m.–6:00 p.m.

If you plan spa treatments for teens or a kid-friendly spa service, check with the spa when booking because the property lists a kids’ spa menu and specific policies or age limits may apply to certain treatments.

• Total pools on property: three (including indoor year-round pools and one seasonal outdoor pool)
• Outdoor seasonal facilities: open Memorial Day through mid-October (weather dependent)
• Spa hours: daily 8:30 a.m.–6:00 p.m. (spa access reserved for registered overnight guests and Golf Club members)

Rooms, suites and what fits families

The Broadmoor offers room types with family options. Room names and configurations listed by the resort are Classic Room, Premier Room, Superior Room, Suite, 1 Bedroom, and Cottage Suite, 1 Bedroom. Several room types allow two beds where noted.

If you need a larger sleeping configuration or more separation for family members, consider booking a Suite, 1 Bedroom or a Cottage Suite, 1 Bedroom; these are described as one-bedroom accommodations with a king bed in the bedroom and additional living space in the suite-type rooms.

For a quick reference, here are the room types the resort lists and their bed options.

Dining with kids and dress-code notes

Practical tips: bookings, pets and reservations

Reserve family services and activities before arrival. Children's club spots, babysitting, spa treatments and pool cabanas often incur surcharges and may require advance booking. Dining reservations are recommended for busy times and Sunday brunch.

The Broadmoor is pet-friendly (up to two pets per room for a nightly charge); confirm any pet-related details when booking. Also note the resort’s Daily Resort Charge covers internet and certain services — review what’s included before you arrive.

If you have a specific room preference or need interconnecting rooms, state that at booking; the property offers multiple room types including suites and cottage suites that can better suit families.

• Book children's club, babysitting and spa treatments in advance (surcharges apply)
• Pet policy: pet-friendly, up to two pets per room (charge applies) — confirm at booking
• Daily Resort Charge includes internet and selected services; meal costs are separate
