Cheyenne Mountain Resort's $20 million Renovation
Property-wide renovation marks the property's 25th anniversary
August 25, 2011 - To mark its 25th anniversary, The Cheyenne Mountain Resort in Colorado Springs, Colorado, underwent a complete $20 million renovation to revitalize the interior spaces.
This was the first property-wide renovation for the four-diamond property resort, and it touched nearly all areas of the property. Ricca Newmark Design, with headquarters in Denver, created the resort's new interiors. Ricca Newmark chose Brintons to fulfil the project's flooring requirements.
Brintons was asked to supply premium-quality Axminster carpet that could be installed in the public areas, meeting rooms and ballroom at the new-look Cheyenne Mountain Resort. The concept during the creative design process was to draw on the beauty of the natural surroundings within the Cheyenne Mountain region, by focusing on nature, organic elements and colors.
Some of the pre-function carpet that Brintons had designed and supplied during a previous soft renovation at the hotel was not going to be replaced so Brintons needed to ensure that the newer carpet would compliment and be sensitive to that requirement.
Brintons' design team worked closely with their counterparts at Ricca Newmark to develop a number of flat design concepts that featured the free flowing organic leaf patterns and branch formations of the white and lavender columbine Flower - the official state flower of Colorado.
Lots of design variations were selected for installation and each one was treated differently to bring a unique identity to each of the individual interior spaces, while unifying the overall design concept at the hotel. Because the carpet designs included a lot of fine detail and featured patterns that were large, a lot of care was taken to ensure the shading and shadowing was precise and would work within each interior space.
Michelle Maestas, Senior Designer and Hospitality Market Manager at Ricca Newmark Design said: “The carpets that Brintons supplied are beautiful and do an amazing job at the Cheyenne Mountain Resort. The designs are all very elegant, unique and bring a certain vibrancy and ambiance to the individual interior spaces.
“We had a number of obstacles that we needed to overcome during the project and these turned out to be very trying for everyone. Although these issues were not Brintons related, they pulled out all the stops to help us work through them so that we would receive a product that was just what we wanted. It would be nice if all suppliers delivered the same levels of customer service that Brintons do.”
