I wish I could give more stars for this place.
Tami was accessible and responded quickly and accurately to my queries.
The location is central. We stayed early September and had easy access to restaurants and shopping, as well as hiking trails. We walked everywhere. For skiing in winter months, the lift is only a block away.
From the second-floor balcony, we had views of mountains to the left, right, and straight ahead. Every day, we watched light from the setting sun change the colors of the landscape. One evening, while sitting on the balcony at dusk, a large black bear ambled down the street, twenty feet in front of us. "There's a bear," my wife said. "That's a bear!" was all I could say. Moments later, nearby dogs freaked out. Such is Aspen.
The unit itself is extremely high end. The kitchen appliances are indulgent. The king-size beds are ultra comfy. The showers and tubs are large with well-appointed fixtures. The washer/dryer is super handy. Soaps and towels and kitchenwares are amply supplied. The upstairs and downstairs fireplaces are cozy. We loved the large patio off the master bedroom. The curtains in this place are opaque and allow for sleeping in late. There is minimal ambient noise and virtually no traffic on the adjacent street. The overall ambiance of dark wood and burgundy accents is classy.
The valet, front desk, concierge, and bar staff are friendly and professional. The cleaning services are almost over the top. Breakfast is a free continental-style set up. The bar opens in the evenings, though we didn't use it.
The hot tubs are spacious. The pool area is swank. There is an outdoor closet by the pool with a towel and robe warmer. Yes, a robe warmer for your Aspen hot tub experience. This is how the other half lives.
For the price, this place can't be beat. If I get to come back to Aspen, this is the first place I'll look for.
