Aspen

Aspen is not a place you come to only to ski; it is where the extreme of nature meets the peak of human refinement, and that sharp contrast is exactly what generates its magnetism. On one side is the wild, cold nature of the Rockies — steep peaks, virgin snow slopes, dense forests and a keen alpine wind; on the other, warm, enveloping interiors composed with precision — the scent of burning pine, warm lighting, contemporary art galleries and restaurants that leave the white cold outside and invite you to shift down a gear. Your holiday in Aspen is not really measured by your dry position on the map but by how you choose to experience the moments in between: waking in the absolute quiet of the historic West End, drinking coffee at a huge window facing the snow-covered mountain and walking to the gondola through the hushed streets of another era; or choosing the beating heart of town, stepping off the piste straight into the most glittering Après-ski scene in the world, surrounded by meticulous modern architecture, hot cocktails and a lively social energy that runs deep into the night. At SherryStay we look at Aspen through this relationship between the outside and the inside: we have sifted out the generic choices and picked only the places to stay that understand this aesthetic deeply — hotels and lodges that know how to translate the power of the Rockies into an intimate, serene and beautifully designed experience, waiting for you the moment you take off your ski boots.
