Centuries of colorful history pepper Aspen’s past—almost as vibrant as the mural found in the main lobby of the new hotel. Joining the fabric of community that is Aspen, W Aspen + The Sky Residences at W Aspen is a modern-day stay in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.

Nods to the history of the area can be felt throughout the property; mineshaft elements down a hall, a large silver “nugget” suspended in the lobby and even details such as canary art sculptures in the room harken to a bygone era of Wild West silver mining. Now, contemporary artwork and sleek designs intertwine for a unique mountain experience. Upon entering the lobby, a stepped design element announces that guests are in for a distinctive stay. On closer inspection, the carpeting itself is a topographical map and a 2nd-floor living room boasts dining space, nugget-design-element-turned-DJ-booth, and an outdoor terrace with cozy fireplaces. A ski-in-ski-out property, the mountain is steps from the terrace and an excellent place to hang out summer and winter.
