“Completely delightful! Our 2nd visit of (we hope!) many!”
We fell in love with this hotel 2 years ago, and it was even better the 2nd time around! The place is beautiful, the staff is ridiculously helpful, attentive, and friendly and the amenities are outstanding.
From the steam shower to the soaking tub to the heated bathroom floors to the gas fireplace, it was almost too hard to leave the room! But once you did, the fitness center was a little small but very well equipped & clean. The pool and 2 hot tubs with warming box for robes & towels was a wonderful haven.
When you actually decide to leave the property, everything is walking distance! It was offseason, so the gondola wasn't running, but it is (according to the bellhops) only 160 steps away. The Belly Up (a great bar/live music venue) is mere stumbling distance. It is a quick ride to/from the airport - the private car service was so handy because you really don't need a car once you are there. In fact, they will drive you most anywhere in town if you need it!
It's hard to find anything negative to talk about. About the only things I can think of are that the continental breakfast offerings are a bit sparse/one-dimensional and the lower floor rooms have nice patios opening on to courtyards or the pool area, but they do not have much of a view.
If you have never been to Aspen, our experience in the summer & fall has been FANTASTIC. Not sure what it is like during ski season, but if the people are as friendly & service as good (all over town), then you will LOVE it!
