Description: How often do you check into a hotel and get a fresh chocolate chip cookie before you even pocket your room key? Well, you do here! The Doubletree Hotel at the Colorado Springs World Arena is a beautifully remodeled hotel in a majestic mountain setting. With 299 oversized (all nonsmoking) guest rooms, many with balconies and spectacular mountain views, it’s also conveniently located near a multiplex theater, shopping, and restaurants—not to mention the World Arena, host to many major concerts and sporting events in the city. Choose from among single queen-, double queen- or king-bed rooms. All come with a coffee maker, hair dryer, iron and board, daily paper, and Hilton’s “Sweet Dreams” bedding package. Some rooms have refrigerators and microwaves. Room service is available. Or check out their 2 full-service restaurants (Atrium and Maxi’s Bar and Grille) and a coffee bar that offers Starbucks brews. Maxi’s Bar and Grille is a family-friendly sports lounge with a 12-foot projection television and 5 other flat-screen TVs so you can follow your favorite sporting events. Two pool tables and an air hockey table are also available. DJ and live music are scheduled each month with two separate dance floors. The Atrium is located in the main lobby and hosts a full hot breakfast buffet. Work off all those calories in the hotel’s large fitness center, or walk in the courtyard and admire the fountain. The hotel has complimentary shuttle service to the Colorado Springs airport and easy access to many of the region’s top attractions.
