Colorado

That Rocky Mountain high is still going strong in places like Denver, Aspen, Vail, Telluride, Boulder, and Colorado Springs. But there's also canyon/mesa country, plains, wine country, old frontier towns, and more.

BROADMOOR’S FORBES FIVE STAR SPA WELCOMES NEW DIRECTOR

Colorado Springs, CO (February 2, 2010)..Colorado’s only Forbes Five Star, The Spa at The BROADMOOR, is pleased to welcome Ms. Cassie Hernandez as its new director.
As a Chicago native, Cassie Hernandez started her career with Estee Lauder Corp in a large Chicago department store as a beauty consultant and then went on to become a professional makeup artist with largest hair salon and day spa in Chicago [Mario Tricoci]. After working in the spa industry for several years, Cassie developed a new love for the art of relaxation, beauty and pampering.
From 1996 through 2009, Cassie worked for the Red Door Spa Holdings company, including Mario Tricoci Hair Salon and Day Spas. In 2006, she accepted the position as opening General Manager of the Red Door Spa at the Wigwam Golf Resort in Litchfield Park, Arizona, and in 2008, Cassie was selected as one of the top ten spa directors in Arizona by Arizona Woman Magazine.
“The BROADMOOR is one of 13 spas in the nation to receive the Forbes Five Star rating and we needed a spa director that could not only maintain that excellence but continue to take the spa forward,” says Steve Bartolin, BROADMOOR president and CEO. “We are confident we have found that person in Cassie Hernandez. The breadth and depth of her experience in all facets of spa management along with a wining style and personality that is a perfect fit with the BROADMOOR culture.”
