This impressive Colorado brick structure sprawls at the base of Aspen Mountain just over a block from the Silver Queen Gondola. A recent redesign has given the hotel lobby and rooms a sophisticated western look, complete with rawhide lampshades, leather tabletops and bronze elk sculptures. But the Persian and Tibetan rugs, along with an art collection stretching into the millions of dollars, remind you that this place is about unrelenting elegance.
