The place

Element Colorado Springs Downtown occupies a new seven-story building at the corner of South Tejon Street and East Costilla Street, in the heart of downtown Colorado Springs. The tower was built new for this dual-branded project, sharing its structure with a separate SpringHill Suites property.

The concept

Construction on the corner of Tejon and Costilla began in June 2019, and after three years of delays tied largely to the pandemic, developers Olive Real Estate Group and Colarelli Construction, with operator Hotel Equities, opened Element Colorado Springs Downtown on June 23, 2022. It is the extended-stay half of a dual-branded property that also houses a SpringHill Suites, reportedly the first pairing of the two Marriott brands anywhere.

Element is Marriott's sustainability-oriented, upscale extended-stay brand, and the downtown property follows that formula with in-room kitchens, 'Studio Commons' layouts that cluster several rooms around a shared living and working space, and an EV charging station: aimed more at longer corporate stays and business travelers than at leisure boutique-seekers.

Dining & wellness

The eighth-floor Lumen8 Rooftop Social serves regionally inspired food and drink with mountain views, and the ground-floor Sportsbook Bar & Grill covers casual dining. A complimentary hot breakfast is included, and the hotel has an indoor pool, whirlpool spa and a 24-hour fitness center.

We called this location at 1:00 a.m. after a long day on the road and after leaving the Extended Stay hotel due to a whole bunch of hairs and a dirty tub as soon as we walked in our room. Oliver immediately picked up our phone call with a great attitude in the middle of the night and provided us a realistic estimate of how much are they would cost if we switched our hotel to them. We immediately headed over to their location where we were greeted by Oliver once again. She went out of her way to make us feel welcome in the middle of the night and it was a genuine pleasure. I used to work for the Marriott Hotel in Marco Island and this location was nothing short of what I expected and in fact win above and beyond for us while we stayed. They have a very professional security team that we appreciated as well. After Oliver got us signed up for the Loyalty program, we will for sure be back to stay at this location while visiting my mother there. Thank you so much once again and we will see you all soon!

One of my favorite downtown hotels! Rooms are contemporary, comfortable and some of the most comfortable beds and pillows! Views are spectacular as well! I love the breakfast options they offer. From bagels and yogurt to a made to order special. Staff is always friendly and accommodating with any and all requests I've ever had! Rooftop bar is fun too and has excellent food.

Nice, clean rooms, friendly staff, mountain views from our hotel window, delicious made-to-order complementary breakfast, and a nice, big pool and hot tub with plenty of chairs and clean towels available. Also a good location right in downtown Colorado Springs. We stayed here for one night with our granddaughter and she loved the pool! We really enjoyed the breakfast and want to give a shoutout to Jasmine, she made one of the best pancakes my husband's had in a long time!

Just stayed at the Element Colorado Springs Downtown and honestly, this place blew me away. I've stayed at plenty of resorts that promised the world but didn't deliver much value or impressive quality—this spot actually exceeds expectations in every way. From the second you step into the modern, airy lobby, you can feel the thought and care that went into it. Everything is fresh, welcoming, and just feels premium without being stuffy. The rooms? They're seriously huge. These aren't your standard hotel shoeboxes; they're massive suites with full kitchenettes, tons of open space, and that extended-stay apartment vibe that makes you feel right at home instead of just passing through. I was genuinely impressed by how much room there was—perfect for kicking back, working, or just enjoying the space after a day out. The staff was super friendly and on top of things, the free breakfast was way better than average, and the whole eco-friendly, nature-inspired design adds such a nice chill factor. Great downtown location too—easy walk to food, shops, and sights. Bottom line: if you're heading to Colorado Springs, this is a damn good option. It delivers real value, impressive quality, and those huge rooms make it stand out big time. I'd pick this over fancier resorts any day—highly recommend!

Nice room and comfortable bed but the noise until 2 AM due to very loud vehicles, mostly motorcycles cruising the neighborhood, is a deal breaker. Better to book a hotel in a quieter location! Update: At checkout, the hotel staffer at the front desk was very apologetic when I told him of the loud noise until 2 AM. He said that he would follow up to see if something could be done regarding enforcement of the noise ordinance. He was very kind and offered some recompense. I have changed my review to a four instead of a three because of the nice way in which my concerns were handled.
