Aspen

A sense of the place

Why it's in the collection

Because it is the only hotel we list in Aspen where you ski to the door, and the cellar underneath has held the Wine Spectator Grand Award since 1997.

  • Opened in 1989 by Aspen Skiing Company at the foot of the Silver Queen Gondola, and named for a mining claim staked uphill in 1879.
  • Element 47 — silver's atomic number — keeps a cellar of roughly 20,000 bottles and has held the Wine Spectator Grand Award every year since 1997.
  • Ajax Tavern on the slope is the town's après-ski institution, with The Wine Bar and The Spa at The Little Nell inside.
  • Six suites are named for Aspen's founders; the 2,500-square-foot Walter Paepcke Suite, redone by Champalimaud in 2017, is the town's largest, and the guest rooms are by Holly Hunt.
