The Antlers, A Wyndham

nearly 100 locations in major urban and resort destinations around the world.
Earlier this year, Wyndham Hotel Group announced the signing of the first
Wyndham hotel in Africa, Wyndham Addis Ababa Bole Road in Ethiopia, as well as
the brand’s first Vietnam location, slated to be the tallest building in
Danang.
The Antlers first opened
in 1883 by the founder of Colorado Springs, General William Jackson Palmer, and housed the General’s large and
envied collection of hunting trophies. Then known as “Little London” because of
the multitude of English tourists to the hotel, it featured modern conveniences
of the time including a hydraulic elevator, central steam heat and gas lights.
The hotel was rebuilt in 1901 following a fire and again in 1967, still
standing today in its original location.
