Legend of the Small "A" in the Word Broadmoor: You will only see this small "A" in official Broadmoor literature and on official signs large and small at the resort. Legend has it founder Spencer Penrose wanted to buy Colorado Springs' first opulent hotel, The Antlers. One night after a few drinks he rode into the lobby of The Antlers on horseback and made his request to purchase the hotel. He was turned down. In a huff, Penrose told them he would build a hotel and that it would dwarf The Antlers. The small "A" is now symbolic for that other little hotel in the city.
