Here’s what you need to know about slipping into The Broadmoor’s spirit with the ideal wardrobe: The Broadmoor embraces a refined “Western elegance” dress code that extends throughout its resort grounds and dining outlets. Gentlemen should avoid sleeveless shirts and hats must be properly worn or removed indoors. Guests can expect three tiers of accepted attire depending on activity: Recreation wear (e.g., Bermuda length shorts, pool cover ups, athletic gear, soft spike golf or tennis shoes) for casual, active settings.

Casual dress (smart denim or Bermuda shorts with collared shirts for men, no athletic wear or hats) for general resort dining and lounging.

Dressy resort attire (slacks or dressy denim, Bermuda shorts okay in some contexts, collared shirts required for men, and a seasonal sport coat is suggested) for refined dining and evening events.

This thoughtful code ensures a seamless experience across The Broadmoor’s world class amenities—from multiple pools, tennis and pickleball courts, and championship golf courses to the award-winning spa and elegant restaurants. The resort’s upscale venues like the Hotel Bar,
