"Harken back to the glory days of Aspen, when genuine warmth and authenticity were the norm, and book a room here.
This hotel is an endangered slice of old Aspen, nestled at the foot of Ajax on the west end of town. I walked into a cozy, beautifully maintained lobby that felt both fresh and inviting and was greeted by the kind of genuinely welcoming front desk staff that have become all too rare. It felt as though I had stepped back into Aspen of the 1980s—not dated or stuffy, but warm, comfortable, and effortlessly charming.
I found myself wanting to linger in the window seat overlooking the mountain or curl up on the sofa beside the fireplace.
The rooms were spotless and exceptionally well maintained.
The complimentary breakfast exceeded my expectations. The buffet included a variety of cereals, breads and bagels (including gluten-free Udi's products), yogurt, fresh berries and bananas, hard-boiled eggs, and juice. It was exactly what I needed to fuel an active day in the mountains.
In a town where luxury often feels manufactured, this hotel offers something increasingly rare: genuine hospitality, character, and a sense of place."
