The Mining Exchange, a hotel that collects registersopened Thursday in Colorado Springs, Colorado, as the brand’s first property in the United States. The renovated 128-room hotel was once a gold and silver trading post that originated in the Rocky Mountains in the early 20th century, but today it’s all about modern luxury. Guests can expect a full-service spa, an on-site art gallery, multiple dining options, and easy access to nearby attractions like the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum and Garden of the Gods.
