Well, my wife and I have always (for the last five years), stayed at the Hotel Denver in Glenwood.
Comfortable beds, just across the river from the Spa, and just across the street from Amtrak. Its decor is cozy, it's close to some great restaurants, including one attached to the hotel. We love it, and try to get there once a year. The train-ride there and back is not always prompt, but it's largely spectacular, and very relaxing.

We stayed at the Broadmoor a couple years ago. Beautiful place and the staff tries very hard to provide excellent service (they even have some kind of system where everyone you meet knows your name). But the other guests were w-a-a-a-y beyond snobby, to the point where a simple Hello as someone steps onto the elevator gets you a turned up nose and a dirty look. We were vaguely uncomfortable during our entire stay and chalked it up to the fact that the super-rich really are different. (Oh, and their big wall of photos of illustrious guests across the decades includes people like Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Nixon.) Despite the many amenities and gorgeous surroundings, we won't be returning.

The super-rich has ruined all the nice places in Colorado. I haven't stayed at the Broadmoor in a long time and am sorry to hear it has suffered the same fate as so many other hotels. The ski resorts like Aspen are the absolute worst. A normal person gets treated like dirt up there. Vail is not even a real city. Just a place created in the mountains with ski slopes and expensive shops. As a native Coloradan, I would not pay a penny to go to any of those places. I will take a trip to Europe where people are down to earth and mostly friendly and glad to see American tourists. And, if you know what you are doing, it does not cost a fortune. It is far cheaper to stay in a nice hotel Italy than one in snotty Aspen or Vail.
