The Legacy of Innovation and Inspiration Award was presented to Philip Anschutz at the Historic Hotels Annual Conference on Nov. 21 in Hot Springs, Virginia. His innovative stewardship includes committing two iconic and legendary historic resorts that he owns—The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs and Sea Island Resort in Georgia—to 100-year trusts, which prohibits them from being sold and ensures their future stability. These Forbes Five-Star and AAA Five-Diamond resorts are steeped in history, tradition, service, and excellence.
In addition, the award recognizes Anschutz’ company, The Anschutz Corp., based in Denver, for its investment of more than $100 million in the restoration of The Broadmoor Manitou and Pikes Peak Cog Railway, a cog train that first opened in 1891 to take passengers to the top of 14,115-foot Pikes Peak near Colorado Springs.
