Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Downtown Aspen
A beloved independent Aspen institution that has been hosting skiers since the 1950s, recently renovated to deliver bright, playful rooms with a nod to Aspen's bohemian artistic heritage — think local artist prints and vintage ski posters rather than generic mountain chintz. Two outdoor heated pools and a genuine local atmosphere distinguish it from the luxury behemoths.
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.
Aspen Mountain
An intimate 38-room boutique at the foot of Ajax Mountain with ski-in access and afternoon cookies by the fire — a more personal alternative to The Little Nell at marginally more approachable prices. The rooftop hot tub with mountain views and the morning ski valet service are highlights that punch well above the property's modest size.
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.
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.
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.
