Aspen Highlands is a separate area from Aspen proper and is a good choice for people who don’t need to stay in the town center. It doesn’t have the glitz and glamor of the other ski resorts, but it still has some high-end accommodation options.
The Ritz-Carlton Club is a ski-in ski-out hotel that’s one of the best places to stay in Aspen Highlands. It also has a great restaurant and lounge, as well as a spa.
The Ritz-Carlton Club
Located at the base of the world renowned Aspen Highlands Ski Area, The Ritz-Carlton Club delivers true ski in, ski out access with a host of resort amenities. The 73 Fractional Club Residences provide luxurious accommodations with deeply plush king-sized beds, full modern entertainment centers and gourmet kitchens, all surrounded by the natural beauty of Colorado.
The resort boasts a wide range of amenities to make your stay an enjoyable one, including two slope-side heated outdoor pools and hot tubs, Willow Creek Bistro, Caffe Sienna, dedicated concierge, ski valet, on-site spa and fitness center, twice-daily housekeeping, complimentary Aspen in-town shuttle and heated garage parking.
Featuring a balcony, every spacious unit at Ritz-Carlton Club, Aspen Highlands by Frias offers mountain views and a satellite flat-screen TV with a selection of channels. A well-fitted kitchen and a private bathroom with free toiletries and a hairdryer are also included. Laundry facilities and a business centre are also offered.
The Little Nell
The Little Nell is a luxurious ski-in, ski-out property that combines a residential feel with modern “Aspen Aesthetic” design. All 92 spacious rooms and suites are equipped with gas log fireplaces, plush bedding, plenty of mini-bars, and lavish baths.
The hotel also features a fitness centre and a wellness spa. These facilities provide a variety of treatments, including massages and facials.
After a day on the slopes, guests can relax in the heated outdoor pool or Jacuzzi and enjoy a swim. Guests can also choose to book a massage from one of the hotel’s highly-skilled therapists.
Located on the doorstep of Aspen Mountain’s Silver Queen Gondola, The Little Nell offers exceptional slopeside convenience. Steps away, our Five-Star Ski Concierge will be ready to handle all your skiing and snowboarding needs: boot-warming, custom ski tune-ups, storage, lessons, slope conditions, transportation services, adventure planning, and tours.
During the summer, guests can enjoy a walk to some of Aspen’s best shopping, dining, and nightlife options. In addition, there are several hiking trails close by.
The Lodge at Aspen
Wild but always welcoming, Aspen Highlands is a local favorite with wide-open runs, breathtaking views and big-mountain skiing. It’s also home to the Highland Bowl, an in-bounds backcountry experience that requires an uphill slog before you can ski it.
At The Lodge at Aspen, you’ll find luxury and a touch of Western charm. The lobby is furnished with a large pebbled fireplace, a lounge area and a dining room that offers a free continental breakfast.
You’ll also enjoy a heated outdoor pool and hot tub, as well as deluxe hotel-style rooms. Plus, you’ll be within walking distance of Main Street restaurants and bars.
You can also take advantage of a daily shuttle to the slopes, as well as ski concierge services and a kids’ ski school. There’s also a mid-mountain Merry Go Round restaurant with self-service cafeteria style food and an awesome sunny outdoor patio. And for a taste of Switzerland, Cloud Nine Alpine Bistro serves fondue and raclette along with gluhwein.
