Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • Overlooking the rushing waters of the Arkansas River, this European-inspired retreat is the newest addition to the vibrant South Main development. It boasts lushly planted grounds, welcoming, nature-inspired architecture, and stunning views of the Rockies.
  • Your outdoor ceremony options are all wonderful—say "I do" in the heart of a charming, stone-walled courtyard, on a pretty lawn with mountain panoramas as your backdrop, or the hotel's own private, sailcloth-shaded beach.
  • The Ivy Ballroom sets the stage for a fabulous reception, with blonde wood flooring, richly-toned wall treatments, and oversized French doors that open onto a private courtyard with a rustic stone fireplace.
