Colorado Hotel Becomes First Registry Collection Hotel in the U.S., Offering Luxury and History

In 1902, a gold and silver exchange opened in downtown Colorado Springs. Fast forward 122 years, and that historic building has been transformed into a luxury hotel. Known as [The Mining Exchange](https://www.miningexchangehotel.com/), this property is not only a nod to the city’s rich history but also marks a significant milestone as the first U.S. hotel under Wyndham’s luxury brand, the Registry Collection.

Wyndham [introduced](https://lodgingmagazine.com/wyndham-enters-luxury-space-with-new-brand-registry-collection-hotels/) the Registry Collection in 2021, with the Grand Residences Riviera Cancun being the brand’s inaugural property. Since then, the collection has grown to include over 20 locations. The Mining Exchange features 128 rooms, a coffee bar, a spa, and a bar called [Golden Hour](https://www.goldenhourbarcos.com/), which hosts jazz nights on Thursdays and showcases art curated by [Auric Gallery](https://auricgallery.com/collections/mining-exchange).
