The look is industrial-meets-rustic, and the atmosphere is light, bright, and clean. The design is minimalist, as is the concept - salvaged and repurposed materials figure prominently in the interiors, in keeping with the environmentally sensitive brief, and the rooms are purposefully low-frills, catering to low-maintenance modern travelers (but including necessities like in-room mini-pantries and 50-inch televisions). But this part of the Front Range certainly has the natural beauty to justify it, and the SCP Hotel Colorado Springs, after a thorough renovation of a two-level Sixties motel, doesn’t go halfway - this is as stylish and fully realized a boutique hotel as we’ve seen within 500 miles or more. Culturally speaking, Colorado Springs might not be the first place you would expect to find an eco-friendly boutique hotel, especially one whose initials stand for something like Soul Community Planet.
