Aspen may be synonymous with winter glamour, but those who know the posh mountain town best will tell you that summer is its most enchanting season.

At the heart of it all,W Aspen offers an elevated escape to experience the magic, blending alpine heritage with the brand’s signature playful edge.
Perched at the base of Aspen Mountain, the hotel’s location places guests just steps from gondolas, boutiques, and the city’s most celebrated restaurants—making it as ideal for a morning hike up Ute Trail as it is for a night out on the town. From this prime perch, the entire Aspen experience unfolds effortlessly.
Luxurious guestrooms in the mountain-side escape draw inspiration fromUte patterns and furniture inspired by the decadence of ‘70s Aspen–showcasing cozy wood accents, bold pops of color and mirrored accents. Playful qualities include quad-queen bunk beds in select rooms, while multi-bedroom suites feature a fire pit, private hot tub, and even a DJ booth.
The only year-round rooftop venue in all of Aspen,the iconic WET Deck is one of the most coveted summer spots in town.
