The St. Regis Aspen Resort is a full-service luxury hotel at the base of Aspen Mountain, close to the Silver Queen Gondola and a few blocks from the center of town. It is larger and more resort-like than the boutique hotels downtown, with a heated outdoor pool and hot tubs, a spa, several restaurants and bars, a ski concierge and a wide range of rooms, suites and residences. The style is elegant mountain-lodge luxury, with warm materials, fireplaces and views toward the slopes. It has a polished, international feel and offers the kind of service and facilities that make it a favorite for longer stays and special occasions. In winter, a ski valet and boot room help guests get on the mountain quickly, and in summer the pool deck and spa make it a comfortable retreat after hiking or festival days.
Who it suits
Couples looking for spa time and a romantic stay, families who want a pool, space and service in one place, and skiers who want a short walk to the gondola. It also works for groups and celebrations, since the larger suites and event spaces can handle more guests. Budget travelers will find it expensive, and those who prefer small inns may find the scale of the resort less personal.
Making the most of it
Ask about room categories and which rooms face the mountain, book spa treatments early in the stay and check what the pool and hot tub schedule looks like in your season. Use the concierge to arrange ski gear, lessons, guided hikes and restaurant reservations. If you are traveling with children, ask about family suites, cribs and kids programs, which can vary by season.
Seasons and pricing
Rates are highest at Christmas, New Year and winter holiday weeks, and again at the peak of summer. Spring and autumn offer lower prices and quieter streets, though the gondola and some resort services may be closed for part of those periods. The altitude is about 7,900 feet, so plan a gentle first day and drink plenty of water. Check parking and resort fees when you book.
Getting there and around
The airport is a short drive away, and the resort can usually arrange transfers, valet parking and local transport. Because the property is large, ask for a map of the facilities at check-in and book spa and restaurant times early in your stay. Guests who plan a full day on the mountain should use the evening before to arrange ski gear, lift tickets or lessons through the concierge, so the morning runs smoothly and you reach the first gondola ride without delays or lines.
