Where Dreams Check In: The Benson Hotel Unveils Limited-Edition Camp Christmas Suites

The Benson Hotel & Faculty Club is thrilled to announce a very merry holiday collaboration with local artist Lonnie Hanzon that invites guests to “check in” to an extraordinary experience this holiday season. Beginning in early December, two Executive Suites will be transformed into Camp Christmas wonderlands. From December 2, 2025 through January 6, 2026, guests can choose between two distinct themed suites. "Fairyland" or "Camp Christmas," each transformed by Lonnie Hanzon and his team at Hanzon Studios with signature whimsical design elements. Far from a typical hotel stay, these Suites offer guests an artfully appointed retreat that continues the Camp Christmas story, featuring custom décor and Hanzon Studios' kaleidoscopic aesthetic throughout. The canvas for this collaboration? Two of The Benson’s most spacious accommodations. The 700-square-foot suites, perched on the hotel's top floor, feature panoramic Rocky Mountain views, private bedrooms with Juliet balconies, in-room gas fireplaces, and spacious living areas with fully stocked kitchenettes. Hanzon and his team have woven pure enchantment into every inch of these spaces, transforming them into dazzling, story-rich environments where nostalgia meets whimsy, twinkling lights dance with bold colors, and the joy of Camp Christmas surrounds the guest. The package includes: • Overnight stay in a Hanzon Studios-designed themed suite (choice of Fairyland or Camp Christmas) • Two tickets to the Camp Christmas Experience at The Stanley Marketplace • $50 dining credit to The Common Good, the hotel's onsite restaurant • All suite amenities including fireplace, full kitchen, and mountain views There's something truly magical about transforming a space into pure holiday wonder, and we're thrilled to bring Camp Christmas to life inside The Benson Hotel,” said Heidi Laursen, Director of Sales and Marketing for The Benson Hotel and Faculty Club. "These aren't just decorated hotel rooms; they're works of art that guests can actually live inside. Lonnie's ability to transform spaces into joy-filled wonderlands aligns perfectly with our mission to create memorable, meaningful experiences for our guests.” Located just ten minutes from The Benson, Camp Christmas at The Stanley Marketplace is a dazzling holiday experience that brings enchanting winter wonder to Aurora's beloved community hub. The marketplace destination perfectly complements the themed suites, extending the magic beyond the hotel walls. "Camp Christmas is about wrapping yourself up in the ooey-gooey, eclectic rituals that have brought light to the darkness of winter for thousands of years," said Lonnie Hanzon, founder of Hanzon Studios. "By bringing this experience into The Benson's suites, we're creating a special holiday escape; a place where guests can experience the magic and whimsy of the dreamscape. These rooms are designed to spark wonder, nostalgia, and pure joy. They're spaces where families can make memories, where the everyday falls away, and where the magic of the season becomes tangible." Whether you're a local family seeking a magical staycation, art lovers wanting to experience Hanzon's work in an entirely new way, or holiday enthusiasts searching for something truly one-of-a-kind, these suites offer an experience that transcends traditional hospitality.
