O ne of my favorite parts about travel is arriving at a place with views that put even the most beautiful landscape photography to shame. Rarely, however, does this happen in a hotel room. Opening the double doors to my suite at the top of the Omni Interlocken in Broomfield, Colorado, and being greeted by a wall-to-wall balcony overlooking the Rocky Mountains was an exceptions.
Omni Interlocken was just finishing a renovation that started in when I arrived in late November of The whole building got a refresh from the rooms to the restaurants to the common areas, including the 1,square-foot Omni Suite. Golfers may be familiar with the Omni Interlocken for its hole championship golf course. It even has the distinction of being the spot of a golf world record: Patrick Koenig set the record for the most hole courses played in a year in and finished his feat at the Omni Interlocken Golf Course.
Still, I found plenty else to keep me engaged, relaxed, and in total escape mode on a weekend trip that was one part staycation, one part getaway to celebrate learning kid number two was on the way. The sprawling resort opened in , and is known for golf, the double pools and hot tub, Mokara spa, and this being Colorado proximity to plenty of hiking and biking trails.
Its location at the Interlocken business park caters to travelers, golfers, and leisure travelers looking to be close enough to the city centers of Denver and Boulder while still feeling removed from it all.
After taking in the landscape view, my eyes wandered to the pool sticks with fresh tips hanging on the wall and the dining table that converts into a full-size pool table directly inside from the balcony. I handed my 2-year-old the vintage-style billiards book to look at the drawings and set up a game for me and my wife. It was far from the typical game at a dingy bar, to say the least.
