SCP Colorado Springs Celebrates Grand Opening

Unique Holistic Hospitality Concept Looks to Make the World a Better
Place by Serving Those Who Value Personal Wellness, Social Good and the
Environment

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/coloradosprings?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#coloradospringslt;/agt;–Soul Community Planet announced today that after nearly one year and a
comprehensive $9 million renovation, SCP Colorado Springs marks its
grand opening. Awarded Colorado Springs’ most innovative new business
concept by Visit COS, SCP Colorado Springs is comprised of 174 hotel
rooms, the state-of-the-art SCP Fit fitness center, the SCP
Commons creative co-working space and the Provisions market, featuring
healthy, locally-sourced food and drink.

Soul Community Planet also announced today that it will continue
offering its Fair Trade Pricing program at SCP Colorado Springs.
The program gives guests the power to determine the prices they pay
based on the quality of their experience.

“We are proud to open our first SCP in Colorado Springs. Our vision is
to make the world a better place by serving those who value personal
wellness, social good and the environment. Our hand-crafted SCP venues
merge earth-friendly and socially responsible practices with modern,
clean lodging accommodations, nutritious “vegan-forward” food choices,
places for socializing, collaborating and working, and superior fitness
experiences – all at prices determined by our guests themselves,” said
Soul Community Planet Co-Founder and CEO Ken Cruse.

The SCP Experience

Very little within an SCP venue is traditional. The typical SCP will be
a well-located, vintage hotel or motel, which has been recycled into a
combination of modern lodging accommodations, a state-of-the-art fitness
facility, a wealth of wellness opportunities for travelers and the
community, a creative co-working space and a market with locally-sourced
healthy and natural food and beverage options. The end result is a
melding of eco-friendly lodging, common social community spaces,
co-working and fitness facilities, along with a market, where all of
these elements enhance and support each other.

Cruse added, “Our hand-crafted venues, featuring reclaimed wood, living
green walls, exposed brick and hand-painted murals, unite earth-friendly
and socially responsible practices with fresh, clean lodging
accommodations, along with nutritious ‘vegan-forward’ food choices,
places for socializing, collaborating and working – all at prices
determined by our guests themselves.”

The 98,000-square-foot SCP Colorado Springs includes:

Space for the Soul

• SCP Colorado Springs has 174 guest rooms, which bring wellness and
  mindfulness in at a very accessible level. The guest rooms’
  eco-industrial design is minimalist in décor and designed for rest and
  relaxation with a focus on mitigating sound and light, while
  maximizing comfort and cleanliness. Our use of Further® bath products
  and ECOS® cleaning products minimizes ongoing toxicity commonly found
  in traditional hotels.
• SCP Fit, the 5,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art health and wellness
  area includes two Peloton bikes, three TRX stations, as well as a
  treadmill, stair climber, spin cycle, and elliptical machine. Guests
  also can use the dumbbell and barbell stations and take yoga classes.
• Provisions Market offers only carefully selected food choices
  that are healthy (vegan forward), fresh, and whenever possible locally
  sourced.

Places for the Community

• SCP Commons offers large, creative co-working spaces with current
  technology and eco-industrial furnishings focused on both local
  entrepreneurs and the “Digital Nomad” community. The appeal of
  SCP Commons is enhanced through its co-location with world-class
  fitness, a great bar and lobby scene, excellent food choices and
  top-notch guest service.
• Leveraging healthy local foodology with great mixology and local brews
  available daily with live music each weekend.

Good for the Planet

• Our renovations extensively utilize recycled, natural and low-toxicity
  materials.
• In addition to modern HVAC, property-wide LEDs, and high efficiency
  equipment, our properties typically include extensive solar arrays
  which help to support our (already reduced) electrical demand. We also
  provide EV charging stations for our guests (the SCP Colorado Springs
  has four Tesla charging stations available for guest use).
• From low flow toilets and water fixtures, to native landscaping, we
  endeavor to minimize our water consumption in all areas.
• SCP hotels do not utilize plastic water bottles, straws or
  plasticware. Our goal is to reduce overall waste (plastics and other)
  by 50% as compared to a typical hotel.
