Viceroy Snowmass is the polished, contemporary face of Snowmass Village. It sits in the heart of Base Village, a car-free pedestrian area with shops, restaurants and activities, and the lifts are only steps from the door. In winter you can ski directly to and from the hotel, and in summer you are right in the middle of the village events, concerts and mountain activities. The hotel has a modern mountain style, with spacious rooms and suites, fireplaces and balconies, and amenities that include a heated outdoor pool, hot tubs, a spa, a fitness center and several dining options. The service is geared toward both families and couples, with a ski concierge and activities for children. Aspen is about twenty minutes away by road or regional bus, so you can enjoy a quiet resort base with easy access to the town.
Who it suits
Families who want a high-end base with a pool and slope access, couples looking for luxury and comfort and skiers who prefer the ease of a resort village to the bustle of downtown Aspen. It also works well in summer for families and festival visitors. Travelers who want historic charm or nightlife on foot will prefer Aspen itself.
Making the most of it
Ask about room categories, views and suite configurations, and book spa treatments and dining early in busy weeks. Use the ski valet and concierge in winter, and ask about children’s programs, ice skating and tubing near the village. In summer, ask about guided hikes, mountain biking and local events. Take the free bus to Aspen for dinner or sightseeing.
Seasons and pricing
Rates peak during winter holidays and the heart of ski season, and again at times in summer. Spring and autumn are quieter and cheaper, though some village businesses and services close between seasons. The base altitude is about 8,200 feet, a little higher than Aspen, so allow time to adjust and drink plenty of water. Check resort fees, parking costs and cancellation terms when booking.
Getting there and around
The hotel is about twenty minutes from the airport and well served by the regional bus to Aspen, and the village itself is pedestrian, so walking is the main way to get around. Ask about the hotel shuttle, child care options and family packages when you book, and arrange ski school and rental gear in advance during holiday weeks. If you plan to dine out in Aspen, check the bus times for the return trip so you are not stranded late at night.
