W Aspen
Bold, music-forward, see-and-be-seen mountain cool. More après-ski party than hushed luxury sanctuary. Modeled closely on W Verbier in Switzerland, with a playful Rocky Mountain twist.
Book a Sky Residence for groups — two and three-bedroom units have their own private rooftop deck and are shockingly spacious for the price in Aspen
Why It Matters
First and only W Hotels property in the North American Alps. One of Aspen's few hotels with year-round rooftop bar, heated pool, and ski-in mountain access. Houses 11 bookable Sky Residences with private rooftop decks. Complimentary BMW X7/X5 use and airport shuttle are genuine differentiators.
Opened in 2019, W Aspen was Aspen's first new luxury hotel in 25 years and remains the only W Hotels Alpine Escape in North America. It sits at the base of Aspen Mountain, roughly 50 yards from the Silver Queen Gondola, which means ski-in access from the slopes is real, not marketing. The design pulls from three distinct Aspen eras: Ute Native American patterns, 19th-century silver mining (hallways are deliberately styled like mine shafts), and the swinging 70s 'Glamor Gulch' era of fur coats and pleasure palaces. Think bold color palettes, a DJ booth shaped like the largest silver nugget ever found in Aspen, and room plates done in the style of Bob Ross.
Where You'll Stay
11 room types available
Guest Room 2 Queen, Partial Mountain View
Double queen configuration with partial mountain views. Tiered/stacked styling references Aspen's mining past. Good for two couples or families with older kids who want separate sleeping spaces.
2 Queens
Guest Room King, No View
Entry-level king room with W's signature Ute-inspired accent pillows, rustic wood finishes, pit and platform lounge seating, and a fireplace-inspired W MixBar. No mountain view. Rooms on this tier skew on the smaller side but are stylishly appointed with sleek bathrooms, mini-fridge, and coffee maker.
KingMountain Balcony King Guest Room
King room with a private balcony and mountain views. Steps out to open air with direct sightlines to Aspen Mountain — the rooms that consistently earn the best reviews for value. Same W design DNA as the standard king but with the view upgrade that makes the price feel justified.

One-bedroom suite with a private balcony bringing the outdoors to your doorstep. Features soaking tub, Swiss-chalet wood finishes, and panoramic views. Good step up for couples who want suite space without the full presidential footprint.

Presidential Suite
The top room in the hotel. Designed around the decadence of 70s Aspen 'pleasure palaces,' with a color palette pulled straight from that era.

KingQuad Queen Bunk Room
W's signature design first: four queen-size bunk beds stacked two-by-two, sleeping up to eight people. Built for friend groups, bachelorette parties, and ski crews who want to share a room without air mattresses. Bathrooms are compact for the capacity. A genuine novelty in the Aspen hotel market.
