The Mining Exchange
Historic-industrial meets art-forward boutique. The lobby is living room-style with plenty of corners to settle into. Art exhibits rotate through The Vault gallery, jazz drops in on Thursdays, and a Crystal Concierge will send healing stones to your room if that's your thing. Managed by Practice Hospitality, which keeps the personality sharp.

Why It Matters
First Registry Collection Hotel in the US. AAA 4 Diamond. Named one of Sunset Magazine's Best in the West for history hotels. The original 1902 stock exchange building has been reimagined rather than merely restored — it's the most design-forward hotel in downtown Colorado Springs by a significant margin.
Built in 1902 as Colorado Springs' gold and silver stock exchange, this 128-room downtown landmark is the first Registry Collection Hotel in the United States. The 2024 renovation by Elemental Architecture kept all the good bones — exposed brick, vaulted ceilings, picture windows — and layered in white oak floors, Carrara marble vanities, and commissioned art from local painter Emma Kelly. It's a hotel that takes its history seriously but doesn't feel like a museum.

How you'll actually spend your days.
Request healing stones sourced from Colorado — several were actually mined in the state — to be delivered to your room for the duration of your stay. Crystals are chosen in consultation with Aurathentic, a local science-led wellness boutique. It sounds gimmicky and it's also kind of great.
Add U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum tickets to your stay. The museum is a short walk from the hotel.
A package in partnership with The ProRodeo Hall of Fame and Museum of the American Cowboy. Includes museum tickets and tour, private roping lessons, a 'Desert Wind' Western-inspired facial at MX Spa, and a specialty cocktail. Book at least 14 days in advance.
Live jazz curated by Dizzy Charlie's Music & Events every Thursday at Golden Hour bar. Open to hotel guests and walk-ins alike.
Regular live music programming on Tuesdays and Fridays at Golden Hour, in addition to Thursday jazz.
A bookable add-on that includes a premium sketch box easel, acrylic paints, brushes, canvas, and a curated guide to the region for plein air painting sessions.
