While there, explore the hotel’s inedible inspiration: the collection of vintage vehicles on display at the Penrose Heritage Museum. The Five-Star hotel’s creative creation - a true-to-life gingerbread rendering of a 1937 Flathead V-8 Cadillac - pays homage to The Broadmoor’s original fleet of limousines, kept on hand to escort guests. Dedicated pastry chefs craft each architectural marvel with love and hefty doses of whimsy and holiday cheer. Some of the most festive spots feature gingerbread houses, or more accurately, gingerbread sculptures, with life-size houses, limousines and pirate ships.
