Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Downtown Aspen
Aspen's most irreverent address — a Thompson Hotel property that hosts a legendarily lively après-ski pool scene, with 90 boldly decorated rooms, a DJ-driven pool deck on powder days, and a location steps from the Silver Queen Gondola. Not the place for quiet mountain contemplation but absolutely the place for Aspen's social scene.
Downtown Aspen
Aspen's most storied building — a Victorian grand hotel that opened during the silver boom of 1889 and hosted Colorado's most prominent figures through the mining bust and ski revival. The J-Bar is Aspen's true social heart, the Prospect restaurant delivers exceptional mountain cuisine, and the rooms carry 135 years of character that no new build can match.
Downtown Aspen
Aspen's best mid-luxury option — a locally owned and operated Aspen Skiing Company hotel that channels genuine mountain-town spirit through ski-boot lockers, après-ski cocktail programming, and guided backcountry skiing adventures, all at prices 40% below The Little Nell. The outdoor pool and Limelight Lounge scene draw locals and guests alike.
Base Village / Snowmass
The centerpiece hotel of Snowmass Base Village — Aspen's more affordable and family-oriented ski satellite — with ski-in/ski-out access to Snowmass Mountain (the largest of the four Aspen Snowmass mountains) and an excellent pool and hot tub complex. It offers the full Aspen skiing experience at 20-30% below Aspen town prices.
West End
A UNESCO World Heritage-nominated campus on 40 meadow acres designed by Herbert Bayer and Eero Saarinen as the intellectual home of the Aspen Institute — a modernist masterpiece where academics, artists, and world leaders have gathered since 1949. The mid-century Bauhaus architecture, private meadow setting, and extraordinary art collection make it uniquely compelling.
Downtown Aspen
The St. Regis brings its signature butler-service grandeur to the Roaring Fork Valley — a landmark property with a Remède Spa, slope-side hot tubs under the stars, and rooms furnished with Aspen-boulder fireplaces and vintage mountain photography. The two-minute ski-in walk and on-demand butler make it a genuine top-tier alternative to The Little Nell.
