The St. Regis Aspen Resort

This stylish 179-room resort hotel is situated at the base of Aspen Mountain between the Silver Queen Gondola and ski lift 1A, just a short walk from the town’s shops and restaurants. Accommodations are enhanced by stylish leather beds and desks by Ralph Lauren, oak flooring and lavish marble baths. A comfortable wood-paneled salon features a combination of Western and art deco furnishings. Dining options include Chefs Club (closed Mondays), where acclaimed chefs are offered short-term residencies; currently at the helm is Park90 in collaboration with Tom Coohill, chef of Denver’s Coohills Restaurant. The Velvet Buck restaurant serves “modern mountain” cuisine in a rustic dining room, and the Mountain Social Bar & Lounge offers a buzzing scene for pre-dinner drinks and light fare. The impressive Remède Spa is highlighted by a crescent-shaped pool fed by three waterfalls. Other amenities include a gym and a year-round outdoor heated pool with three hot tubs. The property also features St. Regis’ signature 24-hour butler service.
