The Benson Hotel & Faculty Club: A Love Letter to the West (and to You)
Love deserves a beautiful backdrop, and that’s exactly what The Benson Hotel and Faculty Club was built for. On Sunday, November 2 from 1-5 p.m., we’re opening our doors for our Wedding Showcase—an afternoon designed for couples, families, and friends to explore our spaces, enjoy delicious bites from our in-house chefs, sip a complimentary mocktail, and connect with talented local vendors who can help bring your big day to life.
The showcase is more than just a walk-through. Guests will get an exclusive look at all of our venues, including the open-air garden that flows into a dramatic spiral staircase leading up to the ballroom, the intimate Gallery with its cozy blues, the grand Ballroom itself, and the warm, private Faculty Club, complete with fireplaces, bold tones, and its very own bar. We’ll even be showing off one of our bridal and groom suites so you can really picture those pre-wedding moments with your closest people by your side.
Our guest rooms reflect the spirit of Colorado itself, blending sophistication with the landscapes that surround us. Four unique design schemes—Campus, Mountain, Garden, and Plains—make every stay distinct, while layering comfort and personality into each room. Out-of-town guests will feel fully immersed in the Colorado experience, with mountain views, modern touches, and that sense of laid-back Western hospitality. For couples, our Mountain View Fireplace Suites are the crown jewel, and those who marry here receive a complimentary anniversary stay to relive the magic a year later.
The Benson isn’t just a venue—It’s also a destination. Families traveling for weddings can take advantage of special group rates, making it easy to keep loved ones together under one roof while celebrating. Between wedding events, they’ll find plenty to enjoy, from brunch and dinner at The Common Good to sipping cocktails or mocktails at our lively bar.
What really makes our hotel stand out, though, is our connection to the local community. We’re home to one of the largest curated art collections in any hotel in the region, featuring works by Colorado artists. Guests can even take a self-guided art tour, discovering pieces that tell the story of the state and add another layer of authenticity to their stay. It’s one more way your wedding at The Benson becomes more than just a day—it becomes part of a bigger story about love, community, and place.
Of course, we’ve also made it easy to get here and celebrate. Our valet service means guests don’t have to worry about parking, and once inside, everything is under one roof—ceremony, reception, guest rooms, catering, and memories.
And here’s a little extra incentive: by attending the showcase, couples can enter a raffle to win the venue rental for free—only paying for catering. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance to host your wedding in one of Colorado’s most unique hotels without the venue fee.
At The Benson, we believe every couple deserves a day that feels like them—whether that means bold and colorful, timeless and understated, or something entirely new. Our spaces, our team, and our community of partners are here to make that vision possible.
We’d love for you to join us on October 11 and see firsthand how The Benson can be part of your wedding day!
