Glam Meets Rustic Rural Mountain Town
Aspen , CO | The Destination
Highlights
- When you think of Aspen you think of the rich and famous mixed with glam and skiing which it is but its also filled with history, culture and personality. It’s a must see winter and summer destination with so much going on including multiple events and festivals like the the Food and Wine Festival every June which draws people into this destination.
- The flight can be pricey flying into aspen even if it’s a close by destination (LAX- ASPEN in the summer can be around $850 round trip) but the airport is so close to all the hotels and you will avoid a 4 hour drive from Denver airport. Looking out the small airplane window might be the best mountain views you will ever see!
- Night life in Aspen is fantastic and you will find the town bustling on the weekends. Hotspots for going out are Jimmys, J-Bar at the Hotel Jerome, Caribou Club (need to be on the list as it’s a members club), Belly Up (great live music), 39 Degrees (great apres ski) also great restaurants include: Casa Tua, Ajax tavern (best fries in town), Cache Cache, Matsuhisa (sushi), and Meat and Cheese (great for lunch).
- Aspen mountain itself (aka AJAX) is an expert mountain and geared towards adults with its hard terrain and night life. Buttermilk and Snowmass are the family friendly mountains and if you’re visiting with kids, I would recommend you stay over on the Snowmass side since it has the best ski programs for kids at the Treehouse Kids Adventure center (ages start at 8 months of age). It's such a family oriented mountain compared to Aspen.
- If you want to see the best views in Aspen head to Maroon Bells (open in the summer months for hiking around the lake). Also take the gondola up Aspen mountain to the sundeck for stunning views of the rocky mountains!

Want to head to Aspen but don't have the budget for these hotels. I would recommend The Limelight Hotel right next to downtown Aspen and walking distance to everything! If you're looking at the Snowmass side The Westin Snowmass is a great location ski in/ ski out and I have great relationships with both of these hotels.
