About W Aspen
- Ski-in/ski-out at the Silver Queen Gondola; WET Deck is the rooftop bar and pool.
History
W Aspen opened in 2019 as the first W Hotels property in Colorado, bringing the brand’s high-energy, design-led style to downtown Aspen near the base of Aspen Mountain. The hotel was developed on a new-build site rather than a historic conversion, with a contemporary alpine look that Marriott describes as retro-cool ’70s decor paired with modern chalet style. Marriott highlights the property’s rooftop lounge and pool, fire pits, hot tubs, and mountain views as defining features of the experience. The hotel is also linked to The Sky Residences at W Aspen, extending the brand’s luxury lodging footprint at the mountain base.
The setting
W Aspen rises at 550 South Spring Street on the southern edge of Aspen's downtown grid, perched at the base of Aspen Mountain with true ski-in, ski-out access — the Silver Queen Gondola and mountain lifts are a two-minute walk from the front entrance. The Aspen Art Museum, housed in a striking Shigeru Ban building, is three minutes on foot, while the town's boutiques, galleries, and restaurants line the blocks immediately to the north. As the first W Hotels Alpine Escape in North America, the property brings bold, contemporary design to a former mining-camp-turned-cultural-capital, where an 11,000-foot summit and a rooftop venue with 360-degree mountain views define a new register of Aspen luxury. 4 miles from Aspen/Pitkin County Airport.
