Best for travelers who want full-service luxury, resort amenities (spa, multiple pools, on-site golf), and a broad selection of restaurants and event spaces.

Best for travelers who want larger suite-style rooms, a predictable Hilton-family experience, free cooked-to-order breakfast, and convenient conference facilities at a midscale price point.
When The Broadmoor wins: choose The Broadmoor if you prioritize a luxury resort experience — a large Forbes-rated spa, multiple pools (including seasonal lake-front options), varied fine-dining choices, on-site golf and tennis, and extensive event/wedding venues.
When Embassy Suites wins: choose Embassy Suites if you want an all-suite layout, complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast and an evening reception, straightforward business amenities and meeting rooms, and a family-friendly, value-oriented stay in the Briargate neighborhood.
Bottom line: both properties can work for family travel, but they serve different needs — The Broadmoor is a full-service luxury resort with resort-style amenities and experiences; Embassy Suites is a practical all-suite hotel focusing on space, basics and meeting value.
