A Beautiful Tribute to a Musical Legend What an absolutely magical experience! The John Denver Sanctuary in Aspen is a hidden gem that captures the heart and soul of one of Colorado’s most beloved artists. Walking through this peaceful sanctuary feels like stepping into John’s world - each engraved stone tells a piece of his story through his own words, lyrics, and reflections. The setting is breathtaking, perfectly positioned along the Roaring Fork River with the stunning Aspen landscape as a backdrop. It’s exactly the kind of place John would have loved - serene, natural, and inspiring. Reading his memories carved into the stones while surrounded by the mountains and nature he sang about so beautifully gave me chills. The sanctuary is thoughtfully designed, allowing visitors to meander at their own pace and really absorb the words and music that meant so much to him. Whether you’re a longtime fan or just discovering his legacy, this place offers a deeply moving experience. I found myself humming “Rocky Mountain High” as I walked the peaceful paths. This is more than just a memorial - it’s a celebration of an artist who truly understood the beauty of Colorado and shared that love with the world. A must-visit for anyone in Aspen who appreciates music, nature, or simply wants a moment of reflection in a truly special place. Highly recommend taking your time here and bringing a camera - the combination of meaningful words and natural beauty makes for an unforgettable visit.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Beautiful place. We had trouble finding the actual walk. There was a homeless guy sleeping in some trees by the river tho. But we had a short wander, cruised an old bridge, saw some art, said we would come back next visit.

I loved this place. Went there several times during my stay in Aspen. It is so well manicured and beautiful in the morning and sunset. I took a million pictures and became John Denver fan!

Very nice way to honor John Denver. The sanctuary is well thought out and a tribute to his love of nature. The rock garden can be emotional with the lyrics of some of his most popular songs on them. Parking can be a challenge. There were games going on in the adjacent park, so had to park down the street.

The John Denver Sanctuary is pure magic. Peaceful paths, inspiring words carved into stone, and an atmosphere that feels like shooting hoops up in the sky ⛹🏼 Everything here is serene, uplifting, and unforgettable.

Even in light rain this place is beautiful and Free. Footing can be a little tricky when wandering. Not really wheelchair friendly.

As a John Denver fan, I figured I would love this place, but it exceeded expectations. The flowing water and manicured grounds provided by this little sanctuary are incredibly well conceived. The fall colors during peak week made the garden pop. Highly recommended during the first week of October for anyone looking to breathe in some peace and serenity, not just those who appreciate Denver's songwriting. Insightful quotes and beautiful scenery are a perfect way to reflect, regardless of your taste in music.

Nice and clean. Free admission. The exhibits are very small and the second floor is closed. The cafe and terrace are nice in the summer. It seems like the cafe is the destination, not the museum. Overall with such a limited exhibit, it was not impressive. I’ll try again another time when the second floor is open.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience at the Aspen Art Museum was surprisingly unpleasant. The front desk staff came across as openly unhappy to be there — curt, unwelcoming, and giving off the strong impression they’d rather be anywhere else. It set a sour tone before I even stepped into the exhibits. For a place meant to inspire creativity and curiosity, the lack of basic hospitality was disappointing.

Cafe on the top is fantastic. 2 floors of the museum devoted to an artist who just reprints other people's work... not so thrilling. Really enjoyed the basement sensory exhibits though.

The best and most interesting is the building itself, glass, concrete and wooden architecture, don't miss the terrace for a good look at the town and mountains or if you want to have some basic food and drinks. The art itself is a random collection of weird stuff, good for visiting before going to the airport if you have some extra time. Street parking.

The building itself is an impressive piece of architecture featuring an earthy woven exterior with a interior/exterior staircase that that reaches the rooftop. Entry and coat check are free and there’s a nice cafe on the roof with a great view of the slopes.

The Art Meuseum is a must visit spot in Aspen. It is free to visit and has some very interesting architecture. The view from the rooftop is nice and you can also grab a bite to eat in the Cafe. The exhibit was Andy Warhol originals which was cool to see those in person. I only deducted a star because I am not a major fan of this type of art and this was the only exhibit at a time. But if you are in the area then this is worth a visit. ( I do not own any rights to the artwork but we did ask permission to photograph, these works can easily be found online, enjoy!)

Interesting to wander. Variety of exhibits including a plant/garden exhibit on the top floor. The exterior copper lattice facade was beautiful. Free admission. The receptionist was very welcoming though coming in with 4 kids from age 9 to 13 we had the security guy follow us around.

There is no city like Aspen. It’s one of my favorite in the world. Aspen Mountain is steep and fun.

Best hike of the year on my birthday. 13 mikes of the best weather and views!

I had the best time and snow was phenomenal. The only reason this isn’t 5 stars is because of the price of the tickets.

Took my surfboard down a red run and I nailed it! The slopes are so good here you can even do it on other items other than ski's..so cool

Great place to visit in the summer or fall with beautiful scenery and plenty of hiking.

Its one of those places on Earth, where you will find food for your Soul.

Won't let me add a second destination also text me a hundred miles out of my way to get to the location

Attended Lindsey Lou concert with friends visiting from out of town and it was fabulous! My friends can't stop talking about the talented trio and fabulous acoustics!

Congratulations to the leadership and every volunteer, speaker, etc., at the first-ever Aspen Literary Festival. The experience was broadening, enlightening, and encouraging to this new writer. I was struck especially by the emotional honesty of each speaker, who described the writing process, as well as their challenges and victories. I hope this continues every year and look forward to returning, ready to attend talks at the Library or Wheeler Opera House. The fact that it was scheduled for this stunning weekend of Fall color in Aspen was one of the many reasons it was a smashing success. A huge thanks and also to the independent book store that was such a part of the festivities.

Such a great venue for unique and inspiring performances & films! I had a wonderful time at the Julia Keefe Indigenous Jazz Ensemble and also at MountainFilm. I love how the Wheeler is highlighting indigenous and latino voices, musicians, artists, creatives, and outdoors people! Both events were entertaining and educational.

The Literary Festival was a fabulous event in a historic building surrounded by a gorgeous setting— those golden leaves! Especially loved hearing from female authors and moderator. Looking forward to next year already!

Such a wonderful venue! The staff there was so accommodating for our group of seniors. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

I brought a friend who visited the Wheeler Opera House for the first time. We had an amazing experience and your entire staff were friendly and FUN!

We were at this venue for two author events during the Aspen Literary Festival. It was a very nice venue, appreciated having an elevator.

Beautiful ride with great views and mountaintop activities. The gondola ride up to the mountaintop is very scenic, with beautiful views. It's accessible and pet-friendly, which makes it a great option for families and visitors of all kinds. Once at the top, there are activities for the whole family and a food court area. Food service ends at 3 PM, but after that you can still buy drinks and snacks. Outside, there’s a spacious deck with tables and lounge chairs where you can relax and enjoy the views. You need to purchase a ticket to go up. There were no clear signs for parking, we parked on the street and paid by the hour.

Totally enjoyed the views coming up and going down. Wonderful free nature trail hike guided by ACES naturalists. If you’re visiting for 3 or more days, get the gondola pass. Well worth it.

Beautiful beautiful ride. 87$ for 2 Person back and forth Exhilarating views A must see when you’re in aspen.

Incredible experience riding to the top of Aspen Mountain! Lots of fun stuff to do up top, hiking, games for the whole family, bar, food, bathrooms! Definitely a must-do during a visit to Aspen -- especially during the fall!!

Visited Silver Queen Gondola in Aspen Colorado after 27 years and found the place even more beautiful! With all the new shopping stores and beautiful landscaping Aspen has lived up to its reputation of a world class destination and Silver Queen Gondola is the fantastic way to appreciate this unique natural beautiful town from up above!

We went in August. Parking was a little difficult to find but the trip on the gondola was nice and they had a really good restaurant with views at the top. We spent a about $25 a piece on lunch there.

My wife and I were able to go to Aspen for a few days relaxing until Christmas eve. I can't ski, just had my hip replaced after Christmas but we went up the gondola to have a nice lunch and just the atmosphere at the top, the energy of skiers and boarders everywhere, love it! It was just what I needed pre surgery! Great food and better scenery!

Great experience, good bus services system that preserve nature and good trial info.

They managed the folks pretty well. Cost probably weeds out some. Busses and Rangers were excellent. Views were magnificent. Go if you get a chance

Easy shuttle services to maroon bells which has mesmerizing scenic view.

Make sure to buy the ticket online. Online price is 16$ on site is 20$

Best place to visit . Beautiful flowers and great experience to visit with our loved ones 💯

Great falls colors

I absolutely love the winter public lecture series. It's a delight to engage with cutting edge material and use a different part of my brain. The space is welcoming and gives you that "being back on campus" feeling. Check out the website for the schedule!

Always a wonderful experience to visit this place!

This is where the all the fun happens!

I had the most fabulous Aspen 4th of July mainly because of the Aspen Music Festival and School! Their free concert in the Benedict Music Tent was amazing and really made my 4th of July extra special. Spectators picniced on the grass with their wine and cheese. So cute!! And to top it all off I happened to stay at the Aspen Meadows Resort which is on the very same property just minutes away from the tent. The hotel rooms are super spacious with gorgeous views and due to the holiday being mid week I got a great deal! Check out the concert schedule and if you need a place to stay, I highly recommend the Aspen Meadows.

Nice little pizza joint right in the heart of downtown. I had the Ajax Pilsner which was fantastic! The wings were also very good. Service was very quick and friendly, and the place had a great atmosphere. Oddly, they serve the beer in plastic solo cups, which I wasn't a huge fan of, but the beer was still top quality so I can't complain! Pro Tip: There's a very small fridge in the middle of the dining area that's very easy to miss with six packs if you want beer to go.

We had the Best wings here. spicy enough without it being overwhelming and crispy. Cheese Pizza was also just right. Yes the beer is on point. They were out of the pilsner but expected if its good beer. Got packed during happy hour but then cleared out.

This place rocks ! Great beer, awesome pizzas and great staff ! Brilliant atmosphere and nice clientele. Reasonably priced as well. Will 100% be back. Zak, who took great care of us, is originally from right by where we live in Phoenix ! What a coincidence. Keep up the great work!

Was in aspen for 5 days and ate here every single day. The pizza is incredible, drinks are on point, and the service is incredible. It is clear this place is well managed by people who care about what they deliver to the public. Stay forever ipa is amazing and the pepperoni pizza is hands down the best in aspen by a mile. Great job yall

Kindest and most responsive staff!! Lively, lovely and always trying new drinks with customers. And the best Bloody Mary and Paloma I have ever had

man, i was really hoping to have a great time at this place based on the reviews. however our server, who didn’t give us his name (was middle aged, shorter, had a mustache and was wearing brown boots) really made the whole experience sour. we stopped here on a road trip hoping for some good drinks and food, immediately that server was tense. when i tried to order a basic cocktail he was very aggressive toward me- they appeared to have a full bar so my bad i guess lol. after that he just continued to be hostile, just very rude and passive aggressive. the food was pretty good and the beer was too! definitely overpriced but it’s aspen lol. the server was just very rude, definitely did not make us feel welcome, and only made the experience uncomfortable. there were other servers serving us as well and they were perfectly nice, so i’m not sure why he kept coming back when he clearly was not in the headspace to be customer facing. very rude guy, would recommend this brewery if you can avoid him as your server

Enjoyed our lunch, large plates very shareable! Drinks were tasty!

Went to celebrate my mom’s birthday and wow, I still dream about this place. If I had to pick a last meal, this would be it. I got the steak board and ate every last bite. My mom got the rotisserie chicken board. We sat outside and the views from downtown Aspen were absolutely breathtaking. The service was warm and pleasant, which made the whole experience even better. If you love steak, potatoes, and a good heartwarming meal, this spot is a must-try.

overall not bad! the meat and cheese board i’d say was a bit overpriced for what we got. it was mostly crackers. loved the mustard! we ordered the steak board and the vietnamese salad. the steak board was pretty good, the steak was a little underdone though. the salad was heavily lacking flavor, the sauce was almost the consistency of water and was not flavorful. there was also fried onions on it which didn’t really make sense to me.

Despite the restaurant’s name they have more than just meat and cheese here. Enjoyed their Vietnamese chicken salad and it was the best single lunch dish I’ve had in Aspen. Great combination of chicken, egg, cucumber, carrot, lettuce, noodles, and fried onions. Try to snag a table outside on their patio — atmosphere outdoors is five stars vs. indoors a little bit more cramped and only four stars. Service at the bar was very good.

The 3% charge to offset the “high cost of living in paradise” feels inappropriate. Guests come to Aspen expecting premium prices, but not additional fees justified by the staff’s local living expenses. If costs are high, they should be reflected transparently in menu pricing, not added as an emotional surcharge. Food is good. Service average:

I had a really nice experience dining here! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and everything I ordered tasted really good. The flavors were on point, and you can tell the food is made with care. The only thing I’d mention is that the steak was a bit on the chewy side, but still flavorful. Overall, it was an enjoyable meal.

Our server recommended the Pastrami and the Quesabirria tacos and they were flavorful and unique. The pastrami was spicy, tangy, and had great texture. The tacos had wonderful consomé and had a tender meat. Highly recommend this place!

Enjoyed a wonderful dinner here tonight! The meat + cheese board as well as the Vietnamese noodle salad were phenomenal! The service was also incredible, and we enjoyed chatting with Joe and the rest of the team. Would definitely recommend!

Camping near Aspen and needed something to do on a rainy day. Went swimming, sat in hot tub, steam room, sauna and took hot showers. Relaxed in lounge and watched football game. They also have ice rink, rock climbing, tennis courts and maybe basketball courts (didn't venture the whole place)

We’ve been coming to the Aspen Rec Center for over 12 years and have always enjoyed it as a family-friendly highlight of our trips. That changed this year. We paid $125 for a full day of fun, but what we got instead was a frustrating and frankly infuriating experience marred by inconsistent rule enforcement, poor communication, and lifeguards who seemed more interested in policing us than ensuring a safe and enjoyable environment for all guests. The core issue? An obscure policy requiring all children under 8 to pass a 50-meter swim test or remain within arm’s reach of a parent in the water, even in shallow or low-risk areas. That rule has never once been enforced in any of our previous visits, and we were blindsided by its sudden and aggressive application. Our six-year-old son, who is over 4 feet tall and a fairly capable swimmer, attempted the test but understandably struggled with the excessive distance—50 meters is no small feat for a child his age. So we complied with the rule… and were punished for it. Despite following instructions, we were relentlessly harassed by lifeguards whenever either of us was more than a few feet from our son—even when he was safely in a lifejacket, in 1–2 feet of water, and within easy view. At one point, he wasn’t even allowed to remain in the shallow kiddie pool unless one of us was physically in the water with him. This level of rigidity borders on absurd. Meanwhile, multiple other children—clearly under 8, some even under 5—were freely swimming in the lazy river and using other attractions without a parent anywhere nearby. One group, watched over by a non-swimming sitter who didn’t even have a suit on, was left alone entirely. When we asked why they weren’t subject to the same scrutiny, a lifeguard claimed the kids were “8,” then admitted they don’t check IDs. The double standard couldn’t have been clearer. Those who lied or simply ignored the rules were left alone. We, who followed the rules, were targeted. To make matters worse, the guidance from lifeguards was inconsistent. Our son met the height requirement for the waterslide and was initially told he could ride, but later denied access because one of us wasn’t at the bottom to catch him—even though another guard had said it was fine. No one seemed to be on the same page, leaving us confused and increasingly frustrated. Even worse, none of these rules were communicated to us at check-in. Had we known that a parent was expected to be in swimwear and in the water at all times with a child under 8, we could have made a more informed decision—or chosen not to spend $125 on what turned out to be a stressful and disappointing day. If you’re going to enforce rules this strictly, communicate them clearly before payment is taken. And if you’re having issues with locals lying about their kids’ ages, there are better solutions than punishing honest families. For example, offer discounted or free entry for parents of younger children, or raise the rate for older ones. But don’t create a system where lying gets rewarded and rule-following parents get penalized. We’ve loved the Aspen Rec Center for years. But after this experience, we’re not sure we’ll return. This wasn’t about safety—it was about poor leadership, inconsistent enforcement, and a failure to treat families fairly and respectfully.

Water park, ice skating rink, outdoor activities. So much to do - this place is the heart of summertime fitness in Aspen. Beautiful facility and staff were very friendly.

Awesome building and people! Great facility to take the family, grab a snack or simply play or watch a game of hockey. Nearby fields for sport are totally a plus and in the winter, the slopes are a fantastic spot of the family to slide into the fun winter games.

Fun place! Friendly staff. Love the pool and the ice rink is well maintained.

We went here on January 2025… the whole soccer field was covered by at least 10 inch snow and there is an area where kids can do sledding all without paying and fee… our kids enjoyed a lot

This place has a sauna and steam room which strangely enough is not mentioned on the website. For $30 a day the dressing rooms are kind of cramped and they have high school locker room style shower instead of individual shower stalls. I imagine they charge $30 a day because they have to subsidize the hockey rink which is an elitist sport played mostly by young men and very few other groups. But then again Alpine skiing is an elitist sport too, and Aspen is when it comes down to it the capital of elitism

Food is correct but portions are really small for the price you pay. Better to go up the mountain and get a Mongolian barbecue instead of some small pasta at 17$ or pizza or fried food,… at least they have some good soup and salads.

Thanks to Luis for his exceptional service today!!! He told us this is his 23rd season on the mountain ❤️ It’s amazing/good/kind people like him that keep the mountain alive and well. We will always be customers with people like Luis taking care of us!

It was really just one girl in a hat that is the problem. They called me the drunkest person at the party after offering my help. It simply wasn't true and I felt immediately ashamed for enjoying myself and dancing at a wedding. A simple "no thank you" would have been fine. 1 star for being a jerk for no reason.

Food was garbage. $15 for prison chicken tenders absolutely garbage, the pizza is decent and the burgers are decent but everything is so overpriced. $7 for a small redbull is absolutely outrageous. Your better off bringing your own food all the food here is fatty and low in protein absolutely garbage

Great family inspired place to have pastas, burgers, salads, pizza and kids menu. Right on the Buttermilk mountain lift. No reservations needed. You can either eat inside with limited seating or outside, or even scan a QR code and order. Another option is the On demand order from the Aspen Ski Co web site which offers the convenience of pick up window and lower prices. You can even order your favorite cocktails and beers. Enjoy.

I was spending the weekend in Aspen for my bday and I think you have a wonderful staff all around. I was very impressed with Tyler and how incredibly thoughtful and personable he was. Greg the instructor handed over some tips to my boyfriend who is still learning, super grateful cause its hard to teach your significant other to a certain point lol. We had plans to mountain hop but we just felt home at Buttermilk and with the whole crew that we stayed there the whole weekend. We even got to take some turns with a couple of our new friends and they showed us their favorite runs and hidden cabins. I’m just super grateful for everything. I definitely will be back, your employees made all the difference. I had one of the best birthdays ever, thanks friends!!!

Pasta for $16 is really not too bad!!!

This is such a cute venue! We came to see Michael Franti and Spearhead and it was an amazing show! The venue only holds 450 people so it's a super intimate place and of course, Michael Franti is an amazing artist who engages the audience by encouraging us to talk to a stranger, do-si-do with others, and sings in the crowd!

Very much changed since my last visit, several years ago. Larger, more convenient as just as great vibes. The staff is incredible. How they maintain such upful attitudes is commendable. Intimate and raucous. Totally fun.

I went to Belly Up Aspen for a concert with The War and Treaty and Thunderstorm Artis opening, and it ended up being one of the best live music experiences I have ever had. The venue is incredible. It is intimate enough to make you feel like you are at a private concert, yet big enough to fill your whole body with sound. The acoustics are amazing. You can actually hear every word clearly without being overwhelmed by the music, which makes the whole experience so much more meaningful. Thunderstorm Artis opened the night, and he was unforgettable. His voice is rich and powerful, and his stage presence feels completely genuine. He is an amazing storyteller, and you connect with him instantly. He shares his songs in a way that makes you feel like you already know him. His songwriting, his energy, and his authenticity make him an artist worth seeing live. The War and Treaty were absolutely exceptional. Tanya and Michael brought a level of passion and emotion that filled the entire room. Their performance was spiritual, transformative, and full of heart. You can feel how deeply they believe in their music and their message. I loved how they used their platform to speak to love, healing, and oneness. It reached everyone in the room. Belly Up Aspen is truly one of the best music venues I have been to. The sound, the intimacy, the energy, and the overall experience were outstanding. I would come back in a heartbeat, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for live music in Aspen. @bellyupaspen Bring Thunderstorm Artis back as a headliner!

Nick Sung: A Maestro of Music and Energy! I recently had the incredible opportunity to witness a truly awe-inspiring performance by the extraordinary DJ, Nick Sung, hailing from the vibrant music scene in Korea. From the moment he took the stage, it was evident that we were about to embark on a musical journey like no other. Nick Sung's talent, passion, and boundless energy transformed the atmosphere, leaving the audience in a state of pure bliss. Nick Sung's mastery of his craft is nothing short of remarkable. With an impressive array of mixing techniques, he effortlessly blends genres and eras, creating a seamless fusion that defies categorization. From pulsating electronic beats to nostalgic throwbacks and everything in between, Sung has an innate ability to read the crowd and curate a sonic experience that resonates with each individual on the dance floor

Best concert venue. Not one bad seat in the house. I loved to see the some of the great music legends have performed there. Also, it's on a great location. Close to the Limelight hotel.

Fantastic, intimate, historic venue in the middle of Aspen. It was fascinating to be in a place where so many influential acts have played. Capacity ranges from 300 to 450 depending on configuration. Check their www to see the greats who have graced this stage. Staff was helpful and made feel welcome. Will return.

Belly Up Aspen is such a cool venue to hear live music. The sound is amazing, the vibe is intimate, and the crowd is always awesome everyone’s there for a good time and genuinely into the music. It’s right in the heart of Aspen, so the location couldn’t be better. Whether it’s a big-name artist or a smaller show, Belly Up always delivers an unforgettable night. One of the best music venues in Colorado, hands down.

Gaston was an awesome instructor and what a nice guy! He was so helpful with teaching myself and my wife and he was great what trails would be best to go on. His knowledge was top tier and his professional ability to see our varying skills and teach to both was amazing. Ask for him! Also the Buttermilk staff was very helpful and nice and the main counter especially Ms Hutchison! Great ski slope great people and super amazing instruction! Thank you Gaston!

Amazing place for concerts! The Up in the Sky nights were unforgettable — mountains, music, and atmosphere all coming together for pure magic. 🎶✨ I hope they keep doing more events like this. Only tweak? The shuttle wait after — smooth that out and the whole experience is flawless.

Buttermilk is an absolute paradise for snowboarders! It’s home to the Winter X Games, the terrain park setup is incredible. One time they had a double half pipe. There are jumps, rails, boxes, and features for every skill level, from beginners just learning to advanced riders who want to hit the big lines. It’s one of the best parks I’ve ever ridden. During the X Games, the whole mountain comes alive with awesome live concerts, energy, and great vibes everywhere. Even when the event isn’t going on, Buttermilk has a fun, laid-back atmosphere that makes it perfect for riders who love freestyle terrain without the intense crowds of the bigger Aspen resorts. The runs are smooth, well-maintained, and the views are classic Colorado beauty mountains for miles. Whether you’re here to shred the park, cruise mellow groomers, or just hang out in the X Games vibe, Buttermilk is a must for any snowboarder. 🏂.

We took lessons the first day because we both had zero experience.. they were great, my instructor Neil, a white south African accent having guy was funny and patient with me, after many slams and what felt like broken wrists and tailbone I had the confidence to try the mountain and by the 4th day we were doing the blue routes. The gear rental was pretty easy aside from the line of field trippers. It was an amazing experience and a great place to learn, can't wait to go back.

Children and beginner friendly mountains and ski resort. Allowing all level of skier or snowboarder to ski together here in one giant mountain. Parking is walkable and the summit has great restaurants with views by gondola

We have skied and hiked Ajax, Snowmass, and the Highlands a number of times. Other than eating at the BBQ place at the base of Buttermilk, we have never skied this mountain before until today. As expert level skiers, we were pleasantly surprised by how much we liked this mountain. No, it is not challenging, but there is tons of sidecountry tree skiing, and the powder stays in there for days after a storm. Buttermilk to us felt like a mini version of Beaver Creek or Deer Valley. This is a great place to learn how to ski.

Even an expert can enjoy this mountain. Great for beginners and intermediate. Excelent powder snow

Lenny was awesome! We had the best time. Definitely highly recommend and will do it every time we come. They had us very well prepared and it was non stop laughs and fun.

My husband and I went out of the Slaughterhouse run in early June and had a great experience. The staff was very helpful with information and kind; our guides Lenny and Danny were also very knowledgeable and made us very comfortable considering all of the rapids we went through! 10/10 recommend!

Emma was great!! Took care of us the whole way. Excellent experience on the water! Shy people beware that you may have to shed your dignity and change behind a tree. They will provide you with everything to keep you warm as possible. So keep your clothing to a minimum!

We had awesome experience with Aspen Whitewater Rafting, they are very professional and experienced team. It was our first experience of rafting with our 16 yr & 8 yr old. They suggested us the best trip ( Upper roaring fork) which was suitable with our kids since our 16 yr old wanted to be adventurous and keeping our 8 yr old safe. Eike is the best guide, he was constantly making sure that my younger one is safe and also having fun. I strongly recommend Aspen whitewater rafting.! They are best!!

These guys are awesome. We go every year in July with a large group. Charles, Lenny and the crew do a solid job getting everything organized, getting us through the rapids, keeping us safe but exciting! They’ll share their corny jobs to and from the area. Very organized and you can tell they love what they do. Consistently a good time each year. Highly recommend! Leave them a good tip, they’re worth it!

We have partnered with AWR for our annual nonprofit trip for the past four years, and it's always a great experience! Many of the same guides return each year, which makes it even more fun as we've gotten to know them. The crew is knowledgeable and makes sure everyone has a great time, especially with their jokes. Looking forward to next July!

An Unforgettable First Rafting Experience – Thank You, Sidney! This was my very first rafting adventure, and I couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Sidney. From the moment we started, he made us feel completely safe, confident, and excited for the journey ahead. He explained everything so clearly and handled the raft like a true professional, all while keeping the energy fun and uplifting. Thanks to Sidney, I had a wonderful and unforgettable experience. His passion for what he does truly shows, and he made this first-time rafter feel like a pro by the end! Thank you, Sidney, for making this such a memorable day. Highly recommend this trip—and definit

$225 for a round at a municipal golf course? Not worth it. Stunning views is about it. Course is very average to quirky layout. When I played this summer at least 3 holes were under construction with temporary tees, but they still charged full green fee. Starter was about the most rude I've encountered. Will not return. Again $225 for a muni... only in Aspen.

Nice course, extremely disappointing interaction with the head pro. Not a nice enough course to interact with him again after their customer service.

My favorite course to play ever!!!! Can't beat the beautiful mountains in the distance as you stroll though the perfectly kept grounds

We come to Aspen every summer and play golf here. The course and practice facilities are nice. Only negative is the staff. I have find them consistently less than friendly.

Amazing views all around the course! Well maintained and affordable. Great pass values for locals too.

A solid in-town venue but the course, service (no below avg for a muni) and amenities are not worth $200 greens fees. The course has quirky holes like an old country club that could be easily updated. The thick deep bent grass rough around the greens are too penal for average golfers… that and narrow fairways make for slow play - a 5 hour round is what you should expect. Good news is, there are better public golf experiences nearby. Try River Valley Ranch 30 minutes up the road for a modern course and equally spectacular mountain views.

Only reason for two stars was good service and friendly staff. Pretty views, but how they have gall to charge $170....Greens we're so severe and tricked up. Would never recommend and will not play again. River Valley Ranch is $60 and much better.

The best bang for your buck in Aspen! Our 22 year old tour guide knows the nuts and bolts of Aspen from the ground up, and conveyed her knowledge in such a way that my husband and I were able to absorb and understand the fascinating history. A must do for everyone wanting to get to know Aspen!

What a wonderful place to learn about Aspen and its surrounding areas. The displays are great and Jane is an amazing hostess. It gave us a great picture of Aspen past and present! My husband and I highly recommend going to this museum in town and plan to visit its additional sights in the future.

I always enjoy visiting the Aspen Historical Society. It's so educational and entertaining to talk with the staff.

It's an interesting spot with a rich history, and there's always someone available to help with any questions. However, my experience was marred when one of the elderly women repeatedly questioned if I spoke English, despite my clear responses. Being Asian, I was conscious that Aspen is predominantly White, but I didn't anticipate being singled out for my ethnicity.

We did the walking tour on Aspen history with Suzie and the one on Bauhaus architecture with Nina. They were great! Both guides really incorporate the Aspen spirit and you know that each one of them loves what they're doing. One exciting detail of Aspen and it's history after the other comes just pouring out of them in a very entertaining, yet high level way. A hilghlight of our stay in Aspen! Anyone who wants to get to know that Aspen is a lot more than high priced skiing, shopping and eating should do this.

We took a Victorian Walking Your of the West End. It was fabulous. Our tour guide was Alexander and he was great. The Aspen Historical Society always has the most amazing tours and this one did not disappoint. It was so fun to walk the West End and learn the history of the Victorian houses, and why Aspen has protected them so fiercely. So they have a few little strange rules, but by and large, they serve to keep the legacy of Aspen ever in our sights.

This is a cool historical building. Currently it is home to the Aspen Historical Society and it's museum. The museum changes once in a while and is always very interesting. The museum is very small but always worth visiting. The museum is free and has a few bits of merchandise to purchase. The house the museum is in is not much different from when it was first built. The home has a long history dating back to the 19th century. There is a building behind the home that houses the archives of the Aspen Historical Society which is open to research if you contact beforehand and is not drop in archives. This place is very neat and should be checked out if you want a nice little history of Aspen, CO or want to view the archives of the Aspen Historical Society.

A beautiful place to see out over the valley, rather simple to access for anyone who readily takes walks in a hilly area.

love the hiking

Fun ridge hike/scramble

It was just a very underwhelming meal. For starters when we arrived it took quite a while for someone to greet us and just give us water. We sat inside and the head bartender was either in a bad mood or just liked to throw bottles around. Every time he finished a bottle, he literally threw it in the container pretty aggressively. At first, we thought it was an accident but it kept occurring. It was annoying. Additionally, we were disappointed in the lack of cleanliness. There was a large group sitting at a table and quite frankly they made a mess. That's not the restaurant's fault but it stayed that way for the hour and a half that we were there, which was kind of gross. Food all over the table and floor. We had high expectations for this restaurant as our first meal was at element 47 and it was incredible there! Great service, great food so we thought that the Ajax would be the same, but more casual and it certainly was not. It was a three at best. Next time we stay at the Little Nell, we will not go back to Ajax Tavern. Very disappointing.

Nice atmosphere and crowd. Great wine list, salad for vegans okay. Truffle fries are a classic.

Nice location, right at the base of the gondola station. Indoor and outdoor seating. The indoor seating is ok, some of the high tables are too high and the lighting is odd spotlights down onto faces. Service is great and very friendly. Food was tasty. Dishes are large so they are great for sharing. The wine list is extensive and impressive.

The octopus appetizer and fries were delicious. Skip the kale quinoa caesar. The morel dish and French onion soup were also hits.

This is one of my favorite spots in Aspen. I would start by recommending the cauliflower appetizer. Additionally the cheeseburger is the best burger in the whole valley (or ever) with truffle fries which are incredible. This is the place to bring your family and friends when they come to visit, or to pop in for apres ski. Great view of the mountain, located right at the base of the gondola. The kids Mac n cheese is also banger. Go here.

We had dinner, but first sat at the bar, starting with a martini that was excellent—though we had to share one, as the restaurant had run out of Belvedere. That wasn’t the real issue, however. We ordered the beef carpaccio as an appetizer, and it immediately tasted off. I chose not to eat it, but my partner did and unfortunately became very sick later that evening. It was clear the meat wasn’t fresh. On a positive note, the main course was excellent—we really enjoyed the burger. Still, it’s unacceptable for a restaurant of this caliber to serve food that’s past its prime.

Food was good, service was good, location and patio are great. Lots of complaints that it’s over priced but was fairly reasonable and HUGE portions compared to most other restaurants in the area. The mussels were really good and was a huge huge portion, salads were fresh and delicious too.

Wagner Park is right downtown. It is a nice break from all the buildings to see this park. During my visit it appeared to have a lot of happy dogs enjoying the snow. There is not too much too the park but it is pleasant.

Great Little place to chill out in the middle of Aspen. Be cautious of covid, this place can be a magnet at times. lots of tourists.

This place was so beautiful specially with the snow! Loved it had a great time viewing the whole town covered with snow and of course my Starbucks coffee!

My favorite part about Aspen, large park with many dogs off leash and great views of the mountain

Not what it use to be when I grew up here. Now everyone uses it as their dog’s toilet. Sure you pick up the pile but it’s still on the grass and multiply that by a hundred, everyday. Not going to let my kids play around on the field -So yeah it’s a great dog park….

Truly an amazing place to play rugby!! The pitch and surrounding community are really awesome! The play by play announcers not so much.

Beautiful place to take in the rugby tournament

Fantastic restaurant. Food tasted great. Worth the long wait for a table (over an hour for a party of 4), especially if you have other things to do around Aspen. The kids loved the food. Plenty of other families with kids dined around us. The menu had just the right level of sophistication that elevated it beyond the simplicity but still allowed it to be done well without alienating the kids. Service was attentive and allowed accommodation for food allergy. Sitting on the patio near the road has its disadvantages. Noise from the cars and motorcycles passing by often distracted from the atmosphere. But on a sunny afternoon I would still recommend sitting outside.

We came in for drinks and sat at the bar; Paige the bartender was great—friendly, attentive, caring. Ended up ordering a few snacks to try, which included the Brussel sprouts. They ended up being not too pleasing for us, so we put them to the side. Paige picked them up and questioned us as to why, and we responded, “they’re honestly disgusting, I’m sorry.” She didn’t say anything, just took them. Unprovoked, she kindly asked the manager on duty, a female long black hair, to comp them and the manager’s response was, “well I like them.” Another male server response was, “Brussels sprouts are one of the most over-rated vegetables.” The side dish ended up being comped. Having worked in the service industry, the take away is, this is not the behavior I would expect from a manager. Steamed Brussel sprouts belong in a hospital, not in ASPEN. There’s nothing southern about steamed Brussel Sprouts. PS: Paige, you’re a great bartender.

Everything how it should be. For Europeans: after 10 days i managed to eat for the first time fresh salad and vegetables. Quality food, for a slightly higher price (Aspen...) and really nice waitresses who made our lunch 10/10. Can only recommend it!

We had the pleasure of dining here for lunch with friends during a quick visit to Aspen last week. It’s always a great experience but it’s particularly refreshing to see a restaurant staff on their “A-Game” when mediocrity has become the norm so many places. Everything about our lunch was great, but especially the professional service.

I was so disappointed by this place with the ratings it has. Located in downtown aspen, this place has wonderful views and atmosphere but it goes downhill from there. The waitress acted very bothered by our presence and seemed unhappy with her job. She seemed to be pressuring us to move faster and get out. I understand it’s a busy weekend in the middle of leaf peeping season but you can still be polite. When we stated we would just be getting apps and drinks she rolled her eyes and stated she would try to get us moved to the bar since we were seated in a “full dining section”. We were ordering drinks and appetizers! After we got our appetizer she immediately brought us the check like she couldn’t wait to get rid of us. Very upsetting and confusing treatment. Food was ok. But not necessarily worth the aspen premium.

Great little restaurant in town with a pretty unique layout. We stopped in for lunch and sat at the ‘back bar.’ The service was excellent, as was the food. Definitely recommend that you stop in if you are in Aspen for a few days.

French dip sandwich is good. I also like the chicken sandwich, but the chicken is super thin. Like 1/4 inch thick. Great flavors though which leaves me conflicted. Skip the fries, horrible, thin, flavorless. Salads and deviled eggs look good, but I have not tried them.

Be super careful to eat here. - We saw a mouse running inside the dining area. When we told the server, his response was: “Oh yeah? It’s close to winter.” - Service was careless. They messed up our order. - The food quality itself was ok A restaurant that dismisses a mouse like that is unsafe and unprofessional. Be careful!

J-Bar is such a gem in Aspen! The moment you walk in, you feel the historic charm mixed with a vibrant, welcoming energy. The drinks were creative and perfectly balanced, and the menu had a great mix of options. Everything we tried was excellent. The staff made the experience even better with their friendly and attentive service. It’s the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy amazing cocktails, and really take in the Aspen vibe.

Spent a 3day weekend in Aspen, mostly dining out every evening. Every review at places said pricey for what you get served. Including this place. Buffalo Burgers are usually expensive anyway... I can say as a fact that the size of the burger was large and thick, perfectly cooked! Juicy Tasted Wonderfully delicious!! I forget what my friend ordered but she did say it was the best thing she ate so far on the trip. We did go on a Sunday kinda late. When we walked past to the hiking trails it was packed all the times.

This is a beautiful old style little bar with amazing service and even better food and drinks. We stopped in on a hot afternoon in the summer and had a fantastic waiter who made perfect recommendations for some afternoon cocktails and served us an incredible blue corn bread skillet with popcorned butter. It's pricey, but definitely worth the indulgence. We will probably return for desserts later on!

Great service. Fellow behind the bar was great, but it was $38 for a burger and the burger wasn’t really that flavorful and had a lot of gristle in it. I really would not have minded the price if it had been tasty, but it was very mediocre and I was surprised about the quality of the beef. The side Caesar salad was also bland, and the extra dressing did not help. Everything looked nice but was simply not very Flavorful. Would recommend for the drinks and service, not the food.

We've always loved coming to the J Bar, but our most recent lunch was really disappointing. There were only a few tables seated that were finished with their meals, yet it took almost two hours to get through lunch. We had our toddler with us, and it took nearly twenty minutes just to get a high chair. We were seated in the middle of the dining area, but kept getting forgotten about, and with only one server working, she disappeared for a long time. The service was honestly unwelcoming. The food was good as usual, but the service was awful this time. Also worth noting -- the bathrooms don't have changing tables, which makes things hard for families. Sadly, we probably won't return.

We'll - it's true! What a great bar and food - fun and brilliant bartenders too! We were looking for "Aspen's Best Hamburger" - I'm sure there are other good ones, but ones been rated #1, and we agree! Beautifully served and delicious - get the fries too! We also had a tasty Caesar Salad snd Lsmb Meatballs w sauce, dates, and figs - yum! Our bartender, Ben was a total pro - made us a few "off the menu" creating drinks - raspberry rum and coffee? - sounds crazy - but was great and he's got sone super-powers for creative drinks. Great good - drinks - people - a d as always, elegant Cowboys and Cowgirls Jerome historic fun!

I had an amazing dining experience at Matsuhisa. The Shrimp with Spicy Garlic Sauce was a nice appetizer, the Lamb Chops had a unique barbecue sauce and were cooked to my desired temperature (well done), and all of the sushi was great. My favorite item was the Black Cod, it was sensational. Service was top tier as expected. The ambience is typical of any fine dining establishment, but the interior design was underwhelming. An elevator and coat check are available for accessibility and convenience. Overall 9.5/10!

It was our first time trying this restaurant and it was good. We sat at the bar since we didn’t have a reservation. Our bartender was friendly and helpful. Food was good. I highly recommend making a reservation since it’s hard to get a table.

1st time dining here, asked our server, Marisa R, to please pick her favorites for our entire meal. The result, best sushi we have ever had in our lives (and my wife and I are both sushi connoisseurs)!! Here’s your road map to perfection: (1) Yellowtail Sashimi with Jalapeno (2) Tuna Tataki with Garlic and Tozas (3) Truffle Sashimi (4) Shiitake Salad (5) King Crab Amazu Pomzu (6) Sashimi: Toro - bluefin belly & Smoked Salmon (7) Sushi Rolls: Hanachi & Dragon (8) Shaved Ice 🍧 pic below Highly highly recommend that when you are in or around Aspen you drop in! Bon appétit my friends!

One of the best dining experiences we have ever had! We ordered the omakase along with shrimp and vegetable tempura — truly the best tempura we have had in our lives. We always love coming here, but this visit was exceptional. Even on a busy Friday night, the staff was so attentive and welcoming. They fit us in with our toddler, and everyone went out of their way to make him feel special — cutting up his food, checking on him, and making sure he felt included. Our waiter was incredible, and every dish was outstanding. We also ordered extra rolls and sashimi, all unbelievably fresh. An amazing experience from start to finish! We will be back!!

It seems almost superfluous to review Matsuhisa Aspen, which to my mind is the flagship restaurant of the town. Food, drink, and service are consistently excellent over the years—best of any of the Nobu / Matsuhisa locations I have experienced. Lead sommelier, Dave, recommends and pours Bottled Poetry with world-class style.

My husband and I had an amazing dining experience here a few nights ago. Our server Ally was simply AWESOME!! She had such a pleasant demeanor and made us feel so welcome....and she knew the menu extremely well and was able to accommodate my dietary preferences!! The food was delicious and overall we had the best dining experience here in Aspen. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND:)

Highly recommend! Delicious food, great service - Aki was very friendly and gave good advice on what to order, even got me milk when my food was spicy! The music was also very good, great atmosphere. Thank you

Cache cache is well known in Aspen as a high end French restaurant. The food did not disappoint. Truly delicious well prepared meals and beautifully presented. The salmon and trout dishes we're the best we've eaten as was the Osso Buco. While the acoustics prove to be a bit challenging, it was overall a wonderful experience. The staff was quite attentive, although they were very busy at our 8:00 p.m. dining time so it was a tad slow. A solid five stars for the food and wine selections available in this fine dining stand out in Aspen.

Restaurant accommodated my friends very specific allergies, service was very good, sommelier was comprehensive. Wine list good. Dinner for 3 ppl cost $1000USD + tip.

Our server had a noticeable lack of care for our table. We had to ask for water refills, flag down our server each time we wanted to place an order, entrees arrived well before our drinks did. It felt as though our server recognized the poor efforts for our table and was too embarrassed to apologize/correct their level of attentiveness. I paid for an exceptional dining experience but instead received disorganized and unsatisfactory chaos.

Loved Cache Cache ❤️. First time in Aspen and we ate here twice during our 4 day visit. Delicious and flavorful pork chop with homemade pasta. Yum! French onion soup was superb! We couldn’t leave Aspen without another bowl and cocktails. We arrived one hour before they opened. They welcomed us in with open arms, recognizing us from our first visit. We were able to drink and eat early to squeeze it in during our last night with great service and sone laughs with the bartender.

The best gnocchi I’ve ever had with lamb and one of the best atmospheres for fine dining in the area. Would definitely go back when I visit again.

This restaurant is amazing! Jodi makes you feel very welcome! The service and food are outstanding! The wine has amazing options to pair with the food! Can’t wait to go back

We love Cache Cache! I have been in here twice over the past week to take advantage of the local's special at the bar. $10 for a glass of rose and $25 per meal is a seriously awesome deal in September for locals, and we appreciate that! The bartenders are always super friendly, the ambience is top notch, and the food is extremely delicious. We love their service and will be back again and again from Sunday-Wednesday while this special is going on this month! Definitely one of my favorite spots in Aspen for dinner. We had spaghetti & lamb meatballs and the meal was so filling + pork tacos were so yummy!

This was such a wonderful location to spend his birthday. Everyone and everything was just amazing! The duck and white asparagus were so delicious. For his birthday we were given a complimentary glass of champagne along! Just the sweetest time and we are looking forward to returning to Element 47. We stayed at Little Nell Residences so even the breakfast from Element 47 was spectacular! Fresh juices to live for! Only complaint I have… I can’t leave more than 5 stars this review! Thank you all for the experience. Great birthday dinner.

This was our favorite restaurant in Aspen! We had a server named Gerino and he was fantastic. But overall, the other people that helped service our table were great as well. We started with deviled eggs and olives, then shared the sliders for a lighter meal. Everything was outstanding. The only thing that would have enhanced the sliders would be to add cheese but other than that I would highly recommend this restaurant. We sat in the bar area for quicker service. Very nice environment.

Ate here twice for breakfast on our trip in Aspen. First time we had a great waiter, he was super friendly and amazing, very attentive. The second time our waiter was terrible. Took forever to come get our drink orders and then took forever to get us our coffees! She forgot to bring out the complimentary muffins which is our favorite part of the meal as they rotate them everyday & they are always delicious. My dad asked for extra tortillas with his meal and didn’t get them til way after he was done eating. My parents asked for coffee refills and she barely gave them a refill, the cups were half empty. She disappeared at the end of our meal and we spent forever trying to flag someone down to get the check for us because our waiter never showed back up. Maybe she wasn’t feeling well or was having a bad day but the service was really bad. Love the food though, it’s my favorite place in Aspen to eat for breakfast. However I didn’t like the blueberry sauce that came with the pancakes it tasted like it had gone bad. Great orange juice, great bacon, eggs, potato cakes, & excellent muffins.

Out of all the places I've been to so far in Aspen, every single plate was phenomenal. The atmosphere was perfect! Our server was fantastic in recommendations. The bread rolls they serve before the meal are quite dangerous. They are addictive and delicious. I had the Grilled Gem Lettuce, perfectly smoky with refreshing flavors. The wagyu beef was one of the best steaks I've ever had. It was seared to perfection and cooked to a perfect medium rare. The smashed potatoes were great for a side for two people. Desserts were great as well. Literally everyone LOVED their meal-- duck, lobster salad.

Excellent place for an anniversary dinner. We made reservations at Element 47 (or Silver if you know your periodic table ⚛️) after our pre-arranged reservations at Hai Si were nullified by the restaurant closing for good three days before our dinner. Element 47 exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond to make our anniversary special including starting toast of champagne, dessert chocolate mousse, and a chocolate truffle finale. Staff was engaging and committed to making our evening special. We even parted with dog treats from the kitchen for our pooch.

Element 47 has a tremendous bar menu, good enough to return to. Highly recommend the wagyu burger sliders and tacos. Fries, nuts, bread and butter, and tortilla soup are also great. It is a Michelin recommended restaraunt and it is easy to see why.

Like many of the "5 Star" restaurants in this town, it seems that Element 47 has joined the competition to see how much they can charge, while providing as little as possible. My wife and I stayed at the Little Nell, and naturally all of the staff here were highly recommending Element 47. They love to tell you that element 47 is a "Michelin Recommended" restaurant, which actually just means that they do not have a Michelin star - however, their prices sure do make you think they should. To preface this review, I fully understand that this is a resort town, and a restaurant inside of an expensive hotel, so a slight increase in pricing is to be expected. I have no problem paying premium prices for premium offerings, but when they do not align, I take great offense. We started our evening with two drinks. A glass of wine from the standard menu, and an old fashioned. The wine was an 8oz pour of Evesham Wood Pinot Noir. This is a $25 bottle of wine, and Element 47 charges $30 per glass. The old fashioned was made with Angels Envy Bourbon, and they charged $36 for it. Ridiculous The appetizer we selected was the Fall Squash soup. The portion is not even enough to fill a soup ladle, and no better than any canned squash soup that you can buy at a grocery store. $30. Next up were our entrees. My wife selected the Ravioli Alla Carbonara. 4 tiny ravioli's at the bottom of a bowl, with a drizzle of sauce. Not enough food for a small child, let alone a grown woman. The dish was cold, the bacon was raw, and quite bland. $36. I chose the Antelope Loin. 3 tiny pieces of nearly raw, cold tenderloin that combined were not more than 4oz. This dish is served with what they call Ricotta Spaetzle, but much more closely resembled a handful of Corn Nuts from your local gas station snack bag. 3 tiny dots of cranberry puree, that wouldn't even fill a tablespoon. $65. We also shared a side of vegetables, the Beet Carpaccio. You expect a bowl or plate of beets, but instead are served a few paper thin shavings of beet, and a tablespoon of Creme Fraiche. All in, maybe $50 of Ingredients (being very generous with that number) and our bill with tip was $300. We left hungry and disappointed, and went to City Market afterwards to get some fruit and nuts. If you are hungry, avoid this restaurant at all costs. Regardless of the price, there is no value in what we were served, and the quality was mediocre at best. Fancy presentations and attentive service do not excuse providing a satisfying meal (especially at these prices). The owner and head chef should be ashamed of themselves.

Honestly one of the Top 10 greatest nights out on the town! And I'm not even a huge musical or theater loving person. Skip NYC or Chicago and see a show in one of the most beautiful, romantic, quaint, charming theaters in this country. I can't wait to go back!

Fantastic shows, great value and incredible productions.

I attended a great party there. Want a location to throw a party that will be remembered forever. You found your place. Roaring streams. Incredible Mountain views, ponds and rock trails leading through all. To top it off you have a covered Amphitheater for the band, booze and food. The most amazing thing it's only two blocks from downtown Aspen. Please remember to invite me when you book your party there. I will attend.

Another great show, Guys & Dolls, my 3rd in 4 years. The incredible talent that battles to get here, the sets, the music, the dancing! All outstanding as always!!

Ragtime had wonderful music. The tent concept didn't negativity impact the play. Strong actors and the backup.

Beautiful venue, can get hot if early production, bring a fan!

Come see a show, they are amazing. Plus your in a cool tent in Aspen. Would recommend 👌

Once you get off independence pass, coming from Twin Lakes, the preserve will be on the left. Park on the side of the road and paddle out at the beach. Amazing views and gorgeous water plus wildlife. Saw lots of little trout swimming by while going up and down. The water temp isn’t too cold and there were some pretty deep areas that you can jump in and take a little swim. We’ve been twice and once was smokey, but even on a smokey day, it’s still beautiful 🤩

We came during the off season with somewhat unexpected snow at this time of year but it was beautiful nonetheless

Nice trail, but next to a main road.

Absolutely spectacular, and beautiful area. Highly recommend it to all.

Great trails; beautiful scenery. And moose!

The birds have words about Dawn used. What is the stabilizing ingredients in that stuff???

Awesome natural area. Great for SUP. Please park appropriately or use a bike or paid shuttle. Parking is limited. While floating, please be respectful of private property. Keep volume down and please refrain from portable speaker use. Nobody wants to hear your music.

My wife and I stayed here while in Aspen in July 2025 and we were quite pleased with all aspects of our stay. The hotel staff were attentive and helpful with every request we had, providing top-tier service expected of a five-star hotel. Our room was spacious, spotless, and elegantly appointed, with thoughtful touches that made our stay feel comfortable and luxurious. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, housekeeping was prompt and thorough. All aspects of comfort were provided to us without us having to ask for them. The one minor concern I had was that the air conditioning seemingly wouldn't go below 70 degrees, but the engineering team came and got our room nice and cool for the warm summer evenings, even taking the time to take temperature readings around the room. We also appreciated the hotel’s amenities, including a lovely pool and spa with a sauna and inviting lounge areas. I should mention for fellow travelers that a notable portion of the clientele had, just in my opinion, a somewhat ostentatious vibe that may not appeal to everyone, but that’s more a reflection of Aspen itself than the hotel. Overall, our experience was seamless from check-in to check-out. This property delivered everything we hoped for in a high-end Aspen stay, and we would gladly return.

The Little Nell Team is what truly makes the Little Nell a hidden gem. From the moment we walked in, the Little Nell staff greeted us with warm smiles and made check-in effortless. The room was immaculate — crisp sheets, plush pillows, and a lovely city/mountain view with private balcony made opening the curtains each morning a treat. Every amenity we needed was provided, great room technology, a well-stocked minibar, spa-style toiletries, plush robes/towels, fireplace, large table for family game nights/in room dining and most importantly the silence at night allowed us to sleep like babies! Element 47 in room dining was absolutely outstanding — fresh pastries, made-to-order eggs, unbelievable French toast and delicious coffee/latte’s. Ajax tavern kids meals were on point, great fries! The LN concierge team gave us thoughtful local tips / recommendation's that turned an ordinary day into a memorable one. A special thank you to Jonathan (GM) at the helm for clearly having an eye for detail. His staff is well trained in making sure everything you could possibly need is a simple text message away. The valet team - so many great guys, constantly greeting and opening the door, chauffeuring us around town and always making sure we were well hydrated! James and Steven for handling our luggage, thank you. The LN concierge team, for recommending activities and hikes to entertain the kids. Front desk, for periodically checking in on us to make sure our every request had been fulfilled. Housekeeping, truly flawless. Maintenance / engineering department miraculously keeps the hotel looking brand new and functioning. The new fitness center was designed and built perfectly for an on the road workout. Our family 4 pack will absolutely come back, and we wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the city of Aspen who appreciates luxurious 5 star accommodations.

Review for The Little Nell – Aspen, CO Rating: ★★★★★ Travel Type: Family Vacation We had a wonderful stay at The Little Nell with our family. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional—staff were warm, attentive, and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The accommodations were luxurious yet comfortable, and the location is perfect for exploring Aspen. This hotel truly knows how to cater to families while maintaining a five-star experience. Highly recommended—we can’t wait to return!

Amazing Rooms! Love the robes! You can walk or ski anywhere. They also have a great car service. Bathrooms have amazing soaking tubs. Cozy & modern.

The Little Nell is a beautiful hotel. The service is amazing and the food is delicious. The location is great, and close to all of the shopping in Aspen. I would highly recommend.

I had the pleasure of updating the wifi at this hotel. I walked through every single room. Absolutely incredible. The rooms, the ambiance, the views, the staff were all impeccable. A fantastic establishment.

Iconic. Simply the best hotel in Aspen. Top dining, top service. Ski in, ski out. Not annoyingly corporate. Always 10/10

If you're looking for an unforgettable adventure in Aspen, look no further than Blazing Adventures and the incredible Nick as your tour guide! Our three-day tour was nothing short of spectacular, and Nick was the driving force behind it all. On day one, we dove headfirst into the exhilarating world of white-water rafting on a Class 3 river. Nick’s enthusiasm and expertise made the experience thrilling and safe, ensuring we had a blast while navigating the rapids. Day two took us on a breathtaking bike ride down the iconic Maroon Bells. The views were absolutely stunning, and Nick knew all the perfect spots to stop and soak it all in. His passion for the area truly shone through as he shared fascinating stories and insights about the landscape. We capped off our adventure with a challenging yet rewarding 4-mile hike on day three. Nick not only guided us through the trail but also pointed out hidden gems along the way, making the journey all the more special. What stood out most was Nick's genuine love for his job and the beautiful Aspen area. He spoke highly of the owner and the team at Blazing Adventures, which reflected the positive energy throughout our tour. We were so impressed that we’re already planning to return next year, and we’d gladly pay extra to ensure Nick is our guide again! If you're considering a tour in Aspen, I can't recommend Blazing Adventures enough. They provide an amazing experience with guides who are not just knowledgeable but truly passionate about what they do. Thank you, Nick, for making our trip unforgettable!

We rented e-bikes for the day and had an amazing experience! Rode all the way down the scenic Rio Grande Trail to Basalt, with a lunch stop at Woody Creek Tavern. The route was gorgeous, smooth, and peaceful — total of 45 miles round trip and about 4 hours of riding (not counting our lunch break). Bikes were in great condition, the staff was super friendly, and everything was hassle-free. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore Aspen and beyond on two wheels!

I really enjoyed the Maroon Bells bike ride this week. Jess and Tess were great and made the experience fun and very informative! I would recommend this bike ride for all family members.

Blazing Adventures was absolutely fantastic, providing the perfect transportation solution for our wedding day! They were an absolute pleasure to work with—so easy and flexible throughout the entire process. Punctuality was key for our schedule, and they were right on time to shuttle our guests seamlessly from the wedding to the after-party, and then safely back home afterward. Their reliability took a huge weight off our shoulders. On top of the great service, their drivers were incredibly kind and fun! They were professional yet personable, making the rides enjoyable for everyone. We had a great experience working with Blazing Adventures and would absolutely book them again for any future transportation needs! Highly recommend!

The staff & owners at Blazing Adventures are amazing people. From the booking process to executing the trip, not a detail was overlooked. Their level of customer service cannot be duplicated. We did the afternoon rafting trip on the Colorado river and it was SO much fun! As locals we don't get out on the water as often as we should and Tess (our guide) made our day so enjoyable. She was fun, easy going & my kiddos loved being on the boat with her. I am extremely happy we were able to get on the river with them, it was an incredible way to spend a Sunday afternoon with my loved ones. Thanks again Tess, Vince, & Jen and all of Blazing Adventures! We had a blast!!!!

We had a wonderful time biking with Diane and Kim from the Maroon Bells to Aspen. We even saw a moose twice! Diane provided great instruction and Kim bought up the rear support with a smile.

I am a wedding coordinator and always refer Blazing Adventures for my couples. From exciting experiences to reliable shuttle services too and from the weddings. I had one wedding at Maroon Bells, with zero service. The couple had 3 shuttles from Blazing Adventures, and all 3 drivers were on radios with me, letting me know when they were arriving with guests. I could not believe how smooth everything went. They are always professional and great to work with!

The hats are incredible quality, the store is legendary, but the service is truly what keeps one coming back. I had some issues with my hat but Britt worked tirelessly to make sure I was happy in the end and was a professional when it came to her customer service throughout the whole ordeal. She has impeccable taste so you can trust that you are in good hands with Britt :)

Had the most wonderful experience picking out and customizing our first cowboy hat! The store was great with so many options and the staff were super friendly. Huge thank you to ‘Ray Ray’ who was just incredible and made the experience so special. Thank yalllll!

All their ads say that they’re about making every customer feel welcomed, which is a joke because this was one of the worse retail experiences of my life. The woman that helped me was rude and constantly making passive aggressive/demeaning comments that bordered every so slightly on acceptable. I should’ve walked out, but I was with my family and it was great because we could all bond over it. I don’t recommend this location if you are a person of color. :) Anyways, got the hat.

Disappointed by Service I came to Kemosabe Aspen yesterday with my friend, but the experience was very disappointing. We came in looking around for 10 minutes, completely ignored by the staff. No one greeted us, said hello, or even acknowledged that we were there. Even though it’s so slow. We ended up walking out — not because of the products, but because of how poorly we were treated. When you’re planning to make a serious purchase, the least you expect is basic courtesy. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen here, and it really ruined what could’ve been a great experience.

Buying my cowgirl hat was a terrific experience. Katie was the best; she helped me every step of the way with felt, size, shape, color, band and branding. It was fully customizable and fun every step of the way. I was in the hands of a pro. My hat is fabulous!

We recently moved to the area and stopped in to look around, but the music was blasting at an incredibly loud volume. I was actually worried about potential ear damage, and the sales staff didn’t seem to care or even notice. Really disappointing experience.

Disappointing is an understatement. I bought nearly a $1,400 hat from this location on Labor Day. I was told the beaver would hold up a lot better than the rabbit (which, I have a rabbit one already and it's held up incredible). I wore this hat only a few times until it fell apart, and that is not an exaggeration. I was told it can get a little wet. I went to a concert where it was drizzling, and it completely lost it's shape, it shrunk on me, the $200 leather band fell off (didn't realize it until after I got home), and it bled all over the hat. I went back to the Aspen location to see if I can get it fixed, and not only was I completely ignored, I was told that there was nothing they can do to help. They **tried** to reshape the hat, but it didn't do a damn thing. They then tossed on a little "glittered" band to try and rectify it. Because I am not a Kardashian, Kyle Richards, or someone of fame or money, they literally did not give 2 craps about helping an average person like myself. THANKFULLY, I went to the Vail location and one of the reps there was an actual angel and took the time to bring it back to life and rectify the wrong that this location did. Shame on all of the workers there, especially the manager who said their "policy is there is nothing they can do"... I would never go back and waste my time, and neither should you. The very first picture is when I first got it. The rest, well, that is the aftermath.

The Herbert Bayer exhibit is fantastic.

The Aspen Institute / Aspen Meadows Resort is an iconic part of Aspen Colorado. With it's rich history and beautifully manicured landscape, it offers a scenic piece of historic real estate. Just recently, The Aspen Institute with the help of numerous others, installed Herbert Bayer's ANACONDA marble sculpture. We were proud to be hand selected as the outside vendor charged with the task of this 2 week installation operation. In addition, the Aspen Meadows Resort now has a newly renovated restaurant which is open to the public.

Excellent location for seminars, speaking engagements, ideas seminar

Great place to visit and enjoy your day.

Really a review of the Aspen Ideas Festival, which is simply incredible. Brings a dazzling array of speakers into a really healthy and constructive debate.

Absolutely amazing! Architecture juxtaposed with nature and outdoor sculpture everywhere...

Down the rabbit hole here

We visited the Saturday market in Aspen, and it was such a fun and charming experience! One of the highlights was getting to pet and hold adorable baby goats — the kids absolutely loved it. They even make popcorn over an open flame right in front of you, filling the air with the smell of summer. The market was full of happy people strolling around and enjoying the warm, sunny day. It’s a lively, heartwarming place — definitely worth a visit!

I have been visiting the Aspen Saturday Market for several years now (I own property in downtown Aspen). For those who haven't yet been, the Aspen Saturday Market runs Saturday mornings from June 12 to October 9. It is the ultimate local's activity to stroll like a flaneur through the open air farmers market, with vendors ranging from artisanal produce to handmade goods. The weather is usually stunningly beautiful and you have Aspen Mountain as your backdrop. This year (2021) I visited the Opening Day (June 12th, 2021) and that is where these pictures and videos are from. Last year during the pandemic, the Aspen Saturday Market was open, but only 50 partisans were allowed at any time and traffic was one way, masks required. It was a warm reminder to see Aspen getting back to normal and local entrepreneurs selling their wares to a hungry-for-local products crowd!

Very cute market, there are many different venues that offer a wide range of things!

Lots of vendors but not many handcrafted items. Mostly food/veggies/fruits and a couple hand-crafter sellers. I still really enjoyed it and the guy selling coffee has really good coffee!!

Excellent outdoor market with local fruit, vegetables, crafts, jewelry and art. Fun to look and shop for scarves, jewelry or other items. Food stalls provide great option for breakfast or lunch. Kids can feed goats or alpacas and enjoy time outdoors.

Always a great place to be on Saturday in summer !

We were visiting for the weekend, so we walked through the market to get some breakfast pastries, and ended up with some delicious foraged jellies and some whiskey!

This restaurant is truly extraordinary. I consider myself an onion soup, connoisseur, and this onion soup was among the best I have ever had. The summer salad was a 8 1/2 out of 10 it was fresh, but had a little too much dressing. The dessert, a crème brûlée crêpe was also to die for I will eat here every time I come to Aspen. It’s truly a wonderful spot. The atmosphere is also very charming and the weight staff was amazing. I really can’t rate it any higher. It was over $100 without tip and no alcohol, but worth it IMHO.

Let me start off the review with the food being quite good but definitely not worth the time. For example, when I ordered my meal of the gnocchi truffle (48$), the waiter then ask me if I wanted extra truffles on top. However I was unaware of the ludicrous amount they would rip me off with due to the prices not being mentioned on the menu. Those damn truffles cost more than my entire dish (50$). This place for me is a complete scam for anyone who values their money and dignity as the staff here feel like money-hungry vultures. Although I felt absolutely robbed, the presence and neoclassical design of restaurant was atmospheric and homely. But damn what a scam, this is to warn others not to come here. Greatly disappointed

Unfortunately, my experience at this restaurant was very disappointing. From the very beginning, the service provided by the waiter Campell left much to be desired: inattentive, uninterested, and unprofessional. As for the food, I ordered the cheese fondue and it was a huge letdown. While the flavor was acceptable, the preparation was terrible—the bottom was so thick and rubbery it felt like chewing gum, while the top was oily and watery, almost like melted butter mixed with water. This is far from what one expects from a proper fondue. Overall, both the service and the quality fell far below expectations. I will definitely not be returning or recommending this place.

Great staff, food was excellent! This Bistro has a cozy moody vibe. Our new #1 in Aspen. 😊

Great food. Thanks. Our waiters from Argentina gave us a great service. Everything was delicious.

Absolutely fantastic experience at the French Alpine Bistro. The food, the service, and the atmosphere were all top notch. Cozy French place located in basement cave that feels like you’re traveled to mountain chalet in Alps. High end feel but not stuffy or pretentious. We loved our mains - all on point Alpine dishes like Wiener Schnitzel, etc. server was super friendly. Highly recommend. One of our favorite dinners in Aspen.

Incredible. No words. You've got to try it. The vibe is amazing. The service was great. Very intimate and cozy. Had the Foi Gra, escargot WOW! Crepe dessert & The dessert with the extremely long name is the cannoli. Everything was flavor explosion in your mouth! Dinner reservations are definitely needed. We passed on The fondue for the evening. Food is rich & prepared with skill & love! Cool little bar and open kitchen concept. And all of the decor and experience in itself!!!! Dress up here, don't go too casual. Will be back!!!!

Absolutely loved this place! The oysters were incredibly fresh. Service was friendly and attentive. Definitely a must-visit in Aspen if you’re into quality seafood and a laid-back vibe.

We came here for a post hike late lunch and it was exactly what we needed. The oyster selection was broad with plenty of east and west coast options. The portions were healthy for the clam chowder and burgers we ordered. The clam chowder was a good texture. The atmosphere was bustling without it being too noisy or crowded.

We loved everything about our dinner here- the service was great, the ceviche, oysters, crab Mac and cheese, cocktails, and clam chowder were excellent, but WHAT EVEN ARE THESE FRIES? How are you supposed to eat them? Why would anyone want so many? Please someday consider changing the “fries” to actual fries.

Everything was perfect. Some of the best food I’ve ever had. Very creative dishes…the spicy cauliflower was a surprise hit, and the lobster roll was spot on.

A very nice sea food restaurant. We ordered the beef tartar, which was incredibly tender and delicious. The octopus was well seasoned. The shrimp linguine was well cooked but it was a bit bland after tasting the octopus. Should probably have asked for a bit of more salt.

We’ve been to Clarks a few times and always enjoy it! Recommend: oysters, clam chowder, kale, scallops, Mac n cheese! We got the burger this time and I would pass on that, both the burger and fries were just okay. The staff and service is great!

We stop here every time we’re in Aspen. They have one of the best happy hours in town with great martinis, burgers and oysters. The service is fantastic and the atmosphere can’t be beat. We love Clark’s!

My husband & I thoroughly enjoyed the 5-course tasting menu and found each dish to be outstandingly delicious! The creativity in each dish is beyond one's imagination, and the flavors and execution are top-notch! All members of the restaurant deliver exceptional service and are knowledgeable about every dish. If the roasted duck is on the menu, it's a MUST try - cooked to perfection. Definitely order the inflated cabbage - an unexpected dish of deliciousness. The lobster grilled over juniper branches was luxurious and a melt-in-your-mouth dish. I cannot rave enough about Bosq. It simply exceeded our expectations and provided us with a meal of a lifetime!

My husband and I had the five course tasting menu and it was phenomenal!! Amazing flavours and presentation. The chef even wrote us a cute little card for it being our first time away from our baby which was such a sweet and personal touch. We will definitely come back here the next time we are in Aspen!

We had the pleasure of dining here while celebrating our anniversary. I can confidently say the only downside to the evening was when it had to come to a close. We had the honor of being served by Emma who made us instantly comfortable as well as our sommelier Joe who expertly guided us through the pairings which felt very personal. I wish I could personally thank every person who made our evening special, the entire staff worked seamlessly and we were left without a want. Thank you all SO much for a wonderful evening, tell "Bear"nard we say hello haha.

I was fortunate enough to dine at Bosq in 2024, after receiving a glowing recommendation from a local I met at an event. When I knew I was returning to Aspen, I made it a priority to secure a seat for this visit. I make it a mission to partake in Chef's tasting menus wherever I visit and the Bosq experience is in the upper echelons of my dining life. The team moves seamlessly like a well choreographed dance, which complements the delicious and well presented food. The sommelier did an excellent job with the pairings, given the complex flavors presented. Bravo Chef Dodge and Team.

MUST VISIT IN ASPEN ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I will always remember my time at Bosq. My Fiance had this as a surprise after our engagement on Aspen mountain. I truly appreciate the owners being so sweet to him, and helping get our dinner coordinated. We travel all over and have been to multiple Michelin star restaurants, but Bosq is & forever will be #1 on my list for multiple reasons. -the food embodies Aspen perfectly. The presentation of the food, the stories behind the ingredients, and most importantly: the taste. You guys nailed it. -I loved how personable this experience was for us as well. I collect the menus from all MS restaurants we go to and frame them, and Bosq gave us one with our names on it + a handwritten letter & a beautiful candle from the owners. Wow! What a night to remember. Thank you for your hospitality, Molly & Chef. We will be back.

Definitely worth the visit! We had a magical evening, the rabbit was tender, the wagyu melted like a dream, the drinks were so fresh and natural, and the views outside made it all feel like a little love story. ⛰️🍸❤️‍🔥

Very disappointed. For 2 cocktails, the chef tasting menu and the basic wine pairing (plus tip) the total cost was about $1,400. This food would have been disappointing for half that price. The rabbit was very tough, the lobster was rubbery, and none of the courses were all that impressive which is expected from a Michelin star $1400 meal. Overall would not recommend.

What a lovely evening! Beautiful restaurant with doting staff and amazing service. We opted for caviar and champagne and were completely pleased!

Amazing service and incredible food! The seabass was the best I’ve ever had — perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The mango dessert was light, refreshing, and delicious. And the octopus? Absolutely outstanding — tender and flavorful. Highly recommend for a special evening in Aspen!

I wish I had taken a picture of their desert. I have tried one of the best sorbets in my life. From the moment my husband and I stepped into the restaurant to last bite of our meal, everything was perfect. Wine selection could be less expensive . We will be back.

Service by Benjamin was top-notch and the Elk Creole dish was absolutely delicious as was their bread. But the Seared Chilean Seabass left a lot to be desired— the sickly brown sauce was so salty it killed the dish and tasted like it came from a bottle — it needed a lighter more elegant composition.

This is the place that you need to go when you are in aspen. The food the service is the best that you can have when you are at the restaurant. The vibe and the music is 🔥🔥🔥. When I took at bite of the steak it was like everything that was needed to make a steak a steak. Also don’t let me bring up that they have A DJ like wow. This was the best experience that you can have in aspen…..

Step into Betula and you'll instantly recognize it as more than just a restaurant—it's an experience in fine dining. The ambiance is a blend of sophistication and charm, with different zones to cater to every mood. Personally, I was enamored by the house music gently playing in the background, adding an extra layer of ambiance. We were lucky enough to be ushered into a quiet corner by the fireplace, which lent a cozy intimacy to our dining experience, contrasting with the buzz of the main room. Service was flawless, attentive yet unobtrusive. As for the food, every dish was a symphony of flavors. The ceviche Bonito was a testament to balance, each bite bursting with freshness. The pan-seared foie gras melted on the tongue, a delicate touch that was simply divine. Now, let's talk about the Chilean sea bass. Yes, the price tag may be astronomical (it is IMHO, $78), but it's worth every penny. It was hands down the tastiest fish I've savored in a while, leaving me longing for more even as I finished the last bite. And then there were the braised bison short ribs and gratin dauphinois—a match made in culinary heaven. The ribs were tender and flavorful, while the gratin dauphinois was the epitome of comfort food done right. While the wine list is extensive, be prepared for the hefty price tag that accompanies each bottle. One word of advice: make a reservation. Trust me, it's better than facing a long wait time and risking missing out on this culinary delight.

As soon as I stepped into the restaurant, I was amazed by the very elegant decor, the soft lighting, the long table in the main room, the bar, the cozy patio. The service was excellent, the food was exquisite. A little overpriced, but definitely very chic.

Super helpful and friendly staff. The rooms are well equipped, spacious, clean and comfy. Any time I needed a recommendation for food or coffee the staff always gave me fantastic spots to try. This was my first time in Aspen and I definitely enjoyed my stay. I also love that it’s pet friendly! You’ll always see the cutest/sweetest dogs when you’re here. The airport transport is also a big plus.

We stayed at the Limelight for four days and enjoyed it immensely. It is luxurious, quiet, spotless, comfortable and spacious with an excellent staff. We stayed in a Luxury King room for four nights and had plenty of room. The quality of everything was high-end (loved the big, fluffy bath towels) and there was plenty of storage for all our luggage, etc. The complimentary breakfast was outstanding with a large selection of healthy foods and treats too! We also had dinner there the first night we arrived - the wild mushroom & pesto pizza and the cookie skillet were both delicious! The location is great and it's close to hiking trails, restaurants and shopping. We liked the convenience of the underground parking garage, and we also used the complimentary bikes for a ride on the Rio Grande Trail.

What a great place to stay! I also saw quite a few -obviously NOT service - dogs staying in the hotel. Yet it smelled clean. Felt and looked clean, too. We did use room service - good was good. I was attending a show at Belly-Up. It’s less than a five minute walk to the venue. Everyone was friendly, helpful, nice. I would most def stay here again.

We stayed 3 nights at Limelight Aspen as we had a family wedding I can honestly say it’s the best 3 nights sleep I’ve had in any hotel. The hotel is beautiful very understated and modern the staff cannot do enough for you so friendly and polite. The free coffee was an unexpected bonus as was the lovely food we could purchase while watching the football in the lounge. If we didn’t live in the UK we would definitely be back to this hotel Aspen is beautiful as are the people.

The service at Limelight is truly outstanding! Every staff member was so kind and helpful throughout my stay. Even though I’m from Vietnam, I felt completely welcomed and respected just like any other guest. Their warmth and professionalism made my trip extra special. Highly recommend Limelight for anyone who appreciates great hospitality and genuine kindness

My forth time in Limelight Aspen and my stay at the hotel was absolutely perfect. The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of Aspen with stunning views of the mountains. The staff was warm, attentive, and always helpful. The room was spotless, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable. Every detail—from the cozy ambiance to the high-end amenities—made our trip unforgettable. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a luxurious and relaxing stay in Aspen!

The best hotel for the local Aspen experience. The rooms are gorgeous and so spacious, location right on Wagner Park and a short walk to the slopes can’t be beat, and Limelight’s lounge is Aspen’s “living room” with live music, fireplace and great vibes for hanging out even if you aren’t staying in the hotel. And the food/drinks are awesome and less expensive than most other places in town. Great spot for a laid back group dinner or a cozy cocktail!

Enjoyed this museum. Lots of information about the history of Aspen. And the woman working there was very passionate about sharing the information with us.

Very interesting parallel between the history of the US and that of Aspen, from the gold rush to current day. Nice "peek" into the horrors inflicted upon the natives too. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. We loved our visit!

I always have a pleasant and enjoyable time at this Victorian era home. The 1st floor is set up as an authentic Victorian home. The docent is very knowledgeable. The upstairs offer a museum with rotating displays about the history of Aspen. This is a good place to get oriented to Aspen.

Tour felt more like a conversation. Great exhibits with great information. Suzie was a gem!

I don't often do museums. We went on Friday Oct. 15, 2021. Had the extreme pleasure of meeting Mrs.Click at the front desk. After an excellent introduction instruction on how best to enjoy the exhibits, she sent us up to enjoy the many offerings of historical Aspen. We have never been to Aspen so it was very interesting. Then when we made our way back to the first floor, she took the time to give us in depth informatioin that we did not see upstairs. Her interest and knowlege were evident. She truly made the visit memorable.

I love history and have a great layout with information about the house and then all of the history upstairs.

Every museum deserves a guide like Suzie, she was extremely enthusiastic and knowledgeable and has officially ruined future tours for me coz I'd be hard pressed to find a guide who can live up to her standard. The museum itself was gorgeous, has a restroom, you can touch a surprising amount of stuff (and sit on the chairs (!)). I'd budget at least an hour to check it out. At $10, well worth it.

Absolutely fabulous staff!! Atmosphere is chill and the drinks are incredible. Highly recommend a whisky sour or the Wolf on Wall Street

My boy Otto was very helpful in creating a custom cocktail for me. I was torn between a margarita and a whiskey sour…he is truly incredible, because he somehow blended both together…using whiskey as the base and mixing a sweet and sour mix with a hint of basil to create an unbelievable beverage. 10 out of 10 would recommend. Give Otto a raise! He is awesome.

Perfect combination of chill yet boujee. I’m 23 and the atmosphere is just great, sick music, chill bartenders, and a vast array of incredible craft cocktails. If your looking for a place to bring a group of friends or your lady friend your in the right spot. I’ll be back #vibes

Stopped by here last night with my wife for an after dinner drink and the place was very cute. We sat out on the porch and they had some extra blankets if it got too cold. Overall, the service was solid and the drinks were great too. I am always up for an old fashioned and this was certainly one of the best I had in Aspen. Wish we came here for dinner too because the menu looked amazing! I recommend to anyone in the area.

Vibes and cocktails were great, but they overcharged us. They charged extra on top of the total amount we signed off on, which already included tip. The extra was not the same as our tip amount, but was close - so feels like it wasn't an honest mistake. Recommend taking a photo of your receipts in case it needs to be used with your credit card company. The bar itself has great vibes - dark and romantic with hip hop music. The cocktails were all tasty. Our group had a great time until afterwards with the charges.

Hooch is such a cool underground speakeasy bar. It is really dark in there, but once your eyes get adjusted it’s not too bad. The music, drinks, and overall vibe is a must-have experience when visiting Aspen.

Really fun staff... we got here early and sat at the bar, and chatted to the two guys working. They were inventing a cocktail and involved us in the process - great fun and great people. Cocktails are excellent, and the bar has a great look and vibe. Definitely worth checking out!

I attended a brunch for the Aspen Allergy Conference and was so glad I did. I absolutely love museums, and this one was perfect. Everything was tastefully laid out, and the curator was very knowledgeable. If you're looking for a history and explanation of how Aspen, CO came to be...this place is it.

We discovered this place while taking a walk on the bike path. It wasn't open and I'm not a fan of mining and logging but the place did provide a lot of interesting photos.

It's an interesting place, not a place to go out of your way to see, but definitely worth popping.In if you're in aspen.

A wonderful piece of Colorado history that gives you insight into both the mining and ranching past of Aspen. I would highly recommend going to the museum and going on tours offered by the Aspen Historical Society.

Stopped by with the family on the first Saturday of the month (free!) and had a great tour thanks to the knowledgeable staff. The intern, Dominic, in particular held our attention and showed a clear grasp of and interest in the material. You hear a lot about checked-out zoomers—he was no such youth. It’s not a massive undertaking but a solid hour if you’re at all into learning about the history of Aspen.

Very informative place to find a lot of Aspen history. Many artifacts It would be nice if parking were a bit more clear.

A nice little museum of history detailing Aspens booming silver mining period. When I say small I mean small, as it consists of a single small building and a few exhibits scattered around it, the most rest of the site is no longer standing. It's a very and informative tour about the history, not expensive and doesn't take a long time so definitely worth the time and effort. The area around is very nice to walk around and moseying about in the afternoon during the summer and the fall when the leaves change. On a hill overlooking a small creek, Castle Creek. The tour is available at appointment only ATM.

This is a really historic and interesting hotel. It’s so western and moody, it’s hard not to catch a vibe here. The lobby is huge and full of character— I love the layout too so there was no bottleneck at check in. The rooftop terrace is soooo cute. I love how it’s tucked away but still really spacious. The views are insane up there too. Service is all around great here. The bartenders are all so friendly. The matcha margarita was delicious and they didn’t skimp on the tequila. Love all the wall paper and the whole aesthetic of this place. Hope to visit and stay here again soon!

The staff at the Hotel Jerome was absolutely fabulous. I came there from another hotel because my husband loved photography and we heard it was a nice place to take photos. The greeting staff person was absolutely welcoming and let us know that there was a special event that we could even join. We thought that was special because usually, if you're not a guest, staff doesn't accommodate you. We had a nice time taking photos, participating in the event, and then, when we were leaving the front desk staff offered my husband and I bottles of water on our way out since it was a hot day. Next time I visit Aspen, I will be staying at this location.

We as family spent one night in the hotel. Great house in centre, easy check-in and out. Very nice and helpful personal. We definitely recommend it, therefore 5 stars. Thanks again. Senol G.

Amazing stay at hotel Jerome! Was here for a conference. Hotel has a lovely shuttle that stole the show… timely, responsive, friendly. Picked me up from conference and took me to airport … who does that? The room was classic: posh, roomy, luxurious, with windows that crack open for fresh air … humidifier included. If I’m ever back in Aspen this is my hotel! Shout outs to Indra, Murilo, front desk staff … Bar Jerome is also a nice touch. Pricey but nice.

First off I would like to thank Stefan for making my stay on my honeymoon amazing. The hotel Jerome is one of the most beautiful hotels located right in the heart of Aspen walking distance to all of the stores, restaurants, and slops. The rooms are fantastic with breathtaking views and the level of service is above and beyond. They have some of the friendliest staff I've met always willing to lend you a hand and asking if they could drive you somewhere within town.

I didn't stay here but I went here for an event en route to the airport and these people didn't hesitate to store my bags and offered me a ride to the airport as a complimentary gesture and did it all in earnest. Plus they are all dressed as cowboys (that's right y'all)!!! Kindest cowboys I ever did meet. One day I hope to be rich enough to stay here for a night. 🤞

I was recetly in Hotel Jermoe for breakfast and my experience couldn't have been better. I always enjoy going with my friends and having a warm, friendly time at this location. The service was excellent, as always. I'd like to highlight a couple of names who made the experience even better. Katie, Omar, and Misha were all great! Katie always checked on us, very nice and welcoming. Misha was very attentive, and Omar was such a nice person; very friendly and professional. Thank you for the great experience!
