Ever thought about meeting in a castle? No need to book a trip to Europe when there are options in Colorado. Two are in the neighboring communities of Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs, and both can be rented for events.
Built in 1895, Miramont Castle in Manitou Springs is a 14,000-square-foot National Historic Landmark that was crafted from regionally quarried greenstone and features nine styles of architecture ranging from English Tudor to Byzantine. Live your “Bridgerton” dreams by promenading through the gardens and viewing 33 rooms with authentic Victorian furnishings before retiring to the Queen’s Parlor Tea Room to feast on Victorian and modern-day fare. Owned and operated by the Manitou Springs Historical Society, the castle’s Great Hall, Solarium, and gardens can be booked for gatherings. miramontcastle.org
Glen Eyrie in Colorado Springs was built in 1871 by Colorado Springs founder William Jackson Palmer and is available for historic tours, teas, overnight stays, retreats, conferences, and more. Tucked away behind Garden of the Gods Park, the 67-room English Tudor castle has served as the headquarters for The Navigators, an international Christian ministry, since 1953. There are 95 guest rooms and 17,700 square feet of meeting space across the spacious grounds. gleneyrie.org
