Colorado Springs, CO
– Soul Community Planet (SCP) announced today the opening of its first SCP
Hotel in Colorado Springs after a nine-month, $6 million renovation.
The 98,000 square-foot, 176-room property, located at the
base of the majestic Pikes Peak, is in its final stages of renovation with a
soft opening scheduled for June 27. Guests can begin booking their reservations
now.
SCP Hotels represents
a fresh holistic hospitality concept for both travelers and the surrounding
community. Inside each SCP Hotel, guests will find opportunities to recharge
their minds, refresh their bodies and re-center their souls, while connecting
with fellow travelers and the community.
SCP Hotels aims to help make the planet a better place
through the extensive use of green materials, eco-friendly products, solar
energy, sustainable practices and water conserving fixtures.
“We’re pleased to
introduce SCP Hotels with the opening of the SCP Hotel Colorado Springs,” said Ken
Cruse, co-founder and chief executive officer of Soul Community Planet.
“SCP Hotels
represent the core values of holistic hospitality: personal wellness (Soul),
social connections (Community) and sustainable practices (Planet). Our goal is
to provide simple, pure, hand- crafted experiences for people who want to make
positive choices for themselves and for the planet.”
Led by celebrity
designer Kelli Ellis of HGTV and The Design Network, the renovation took
an outmoded, but well-located hotel down to its bones, and then used eco-friendly
and recycled materials to extensively transform the property into what is now
the new SCP Hotel Colorado Springs.

The hotel’s clean “eco-industrial” design includes generous
collaborative spaces for guests and community to work, socialize and meet.
The SCP Hotel Colorado Springs also offers the first SCP Fit
- a 12,000 square-foot state-of-the-art health and wellness venue, which will
open this Summer. It all comes together to create a guest experience where
those committed to a clean, healthful and sustainable lifestyle will feel right
at home.
“My goal was to create
an edgy, cool vibe with this property that will resonate as a gathering place
for guests, as well as the local community,” said Ellis. “The interiors are
accented with industrial ceilings, hand painted murals and subtle metallic
elements. The use of reclaimed wood, living green walls, exposed brick, soft
lighting and polished concrete create an earthy, eco-industrial feel throughout
that we’re really proud of.”

Gus Krimm,
SCP Hotel Colorado Springs General Manager, added, “We approached the
renovation through a holistic lens. Instead of tearing down and rebuilding, we
sought ways to use the basic infrastructure of the existing hotel while
incorporating a range of innovative, sustainable and non-toxic materials in our
renovation.
"Our goal was to bring guests an experience where they
can rest and refresh in a healthy environment, connect with community, and make
a positive difference for the planet.”
Through its parent
company, Soul Community Planet, LLC, SCP Hotels also will donate five percent
of its profits to charitable causes that share its values.
