CWE Hospitality Services, LLC, the management company owned and run by the owners of The Chase Park Plaza, has landed its first long-term management deal outside of St. Louis. Led by President and Chief Executive Officer Jim Smith and Executive Vice President Marcia Smith Niedringhaus, CWE officially began management of the 56-room The Lodge & Spa at Cordillera in Edwards, Colo. on June 1.

The Colorado resort is owned by a real estate investment program of Dallas-based Behringer Harvard –which also holds a majority interest in The Chase Park Plaza — and offers similar amenities to the Chase, including a spa, luxury rental units and fitness center. The Lodge & Spa at Cordillera is often described as “an intimate hideaway combining casual elegance with rustic Rocky Mountain splendor.” Set high atop a privately owned mountain, this AAA Four-Diamond Award-winning chateau-style lodge offers guests a complete resort experience.

“The owners of The Lodge & Spa at Cordillera desire to create a culture that’s similar to the one that we have at the Chase,” Smith said. “It is a culture where the guest comes first and all needs are met to the fullest. With everything from the finest turndown service to impeccably manicured walks, guests who book a stay at a property managed by CWE Hospitality Services should expect nothing short of the best.”

Like The Chase Park Plaza’s Private Residences, The Lodge & Spa at Cordillera will soon feature the Paramonte Private Residences. Paramonte residents will have access to all lodge and spa amenities, just as The Private Residences’ owners have access to all of the amenities of The Chase Park Plaza.

The Chase Park Plaza recently unveiled its plans to the St. Louis community for a new high-end, state-of-the-art fitness and wellness center called Santé. With an investment of nearly $3.5 million, the center is slated to open in February.

“Santé will be more than a workout facility,” said Santé Fitness Director Joy Rowberry. “It will be a retreat to balance mind and body.”

With an exquisite 18,000-square-foot design, the center offers individual lifestyle assessments, personal fitness training, private Pilates sessions, nutritional counseling, massage services, luxurious locker rooms and amenities, group exercise studios and a variety of group classes ― including Pilates, yoga and cycling. Fitness classes such as marathon training and “boot camp” will also make extensive use of nearby Forest Park.

Membership choices include a gold option, featuring benefits such as access to the club, daily locker use, validated free parking and all of the programs and services provided by the professional fitness and wellness team. Additionally, there is a platinum membership option, encompassing all of the gold benefits, on top of free valet parking, a permanent locker, laundry service for workout attire and extended guest privileges. A corporate membership option will also be offered.

Owners of The Private Residences will receive complimentary gold memberships, and along with charter members, will be able to take advantage of upgrading to the limited-availability platinum membership option.
