Overview
All in all, the Sky Hotel is a sophisticated choice. Yes, it is right at the base of the gondola, and it is steps away from all of Aspen’s amazing bars and shops, but it is the decor and design of this hotel that sets it apart and has made it something of a landmark in this famous resort.
Description
All in all, the Sky Hotel is a sophisticated choice. Yes, it is right at the base of the gondola, and it is steps away from all of Aspen’s amazing bars and shops, but it is the decor and design of this hotel that sets it apart and has made it something of a landmark in this famous resort.
The famous 39 Degrees lounge is cool and funky – yet this design still manages to comfortably incorporate a huge crackling open fire. Renowned for its cocktails and celebrities in equal measure, it is definitely a place to see and be seen.
Rooms are adorned with faux fur throws and cow hide rugs, and to fit the modern cool theme, you are provided with animal print bath robes. Rooms range from Deluxe, Premium, and Superior to 1 Bedroom Suites.
Facilities to enjoy include an outdoor heated pool and hot tub, poolside bar, 39 Degrees Bar; fitness room, and a complimentary shuttle service from Aspen airport.
At the Sky Hotel, our guests will enjoy a full American breakfast free of charge and why not take a visit to the complimentary hosted ‘Altitude Adjustment’ evening wine reception in the lobby. In addition, there is complimentary tea and coffee available for all guests each morning.
About Aspen
Aspen is one of the greatest American ski resorts. It has a reputation for being a star-studded place, expensive and a poseur's paradise. This is partially true, but Aspen can also be enjoyed by those on lower budgets, while decent snow is almost always guaranteed.
Aspen includes 4 mountains in its pass - Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, Buttermilk and Snowmass. These combine for 200km of runs, with skiing for just about all standards. It is a relatively expensive lift pass. The mountains are separate, but linked by an efficient bus system, with Snowmass 12 miles away. Buttermilk suits beginners, but all of the resorts offer a vast array of ski tuition and childcare. Aspen Mountain, which bans boarders, has some fantastic blacks, moguls and tree-line powder. Snowmass also has the biggest vertical drop in the US (1342m). Intermediates will prefer Snowmass and Highlands for cruising, while Buttermilk is excellent for learning to mogul. Boarders are spoilt in the other 3 domains, with half-pipes and specialist parks. There is skiing for everyone, with limited queues, great lifts and friendly staff.
Aspen town is beautifully restored to its Victorian best and there is a fantastic range of restaurants, shops, non-skiing activities, and nightlife. Much of this is expensive, but there are cheaper options, particularly in terms of accommodation. Everything seems to get just a little bit better every year, as the Aspen Ski Company continues to improve on a resort that is already one of the best in the world.
