“It has been incredibly rewarding to see guests enjoy the whimsical legend of Earl, the iconic bighorn sheep, and face of the Fortunate Prospector. They also praise our traditional English fare and the stunning panoramic mountain views at Embers Lodge Bar,” says Andi Lawley, public relations manager for Gaylord Rockies.
I spent a few hours at the 720-foot-long lazy river, bathing under the sun and letting the time pass by as the Colorado breeze pushed me along in the heated year-round outdoor pool.After a day at Arapahoe Springs, I got ready for dinner at one of the hotel’s many restaurants., the hotel’s new traditional English pub, was a unique dining experience.
The Fortunate Prospector restaurant offers traditional English food and atmosphere just forty minutes from downtown Denver.I ended the meal with a strawberry shortcake scone, served with the most delicious strawberry gelato, chantilly cream and a flaky, buttery scone.
