Nestled in the White River National Forest and the majestic Elk Mountain Range, Aspen provides a haven for scenic beauty and vibrant accommodations. Some of Colorado’s best hotels are located in this bustling ski town, offering everything from convenient ski access to historic luxury.
This former mining village has long been a bustling one, thanks to its stunning location at the southern end of the Roaring Fork Valley. Year-round you can find fun things to do in Aspen. While there are some more budget-friendly accommodations in town, most of Aspen’s hotels are geared towards a more luxurious mountain holiday.
Due to its popularity, limited space, and expensive real estate, most hotels in Aspen come at a premium. There are some other options though. At the northern start of the Roaring Fork Valley lies Glenwood Springs, which also makes a fantastic place to stay. There are more affordable hotels in Glenwood, plus hot springs resorts and a drive of less than an hour to Aspen via CO-82.

You can also opt to stay in between the two resort towns at one of Carbondale’s handful of hotels. It’s a fun artsy community with an ample downtown.
After Carbondale, you’ll pass the little alpine communities of El Jebel and Basalt before arriving at the turn-off for Snowmass Village, just fifteen minutes before downtown Aspen. We’ve included some notable Snowmass accommodations in our Aspen list below, however, you can also check out our comprehensive top Snowmass hotels, for additional places to stay.
Both towns boast a ski resort, with 2 more located in between Aspen and Snowmass. Plus all 4 ski areas are on the same ski pass!
