The St. Regis Aspen Resort in Aspen, Colorado, is covered in a blanket of soft, fluffy snow with pine-peppered slopes in the background.

The St. Regis Aspen Resort

Set at the base of Aspen Mountain in Colorado’s Elk Mountains, The St. Regis Aspen Resort offers grand views of the peaks, whether they’re blanketed in snow or sun. The hotel is also just minutes away from Aspen Snowmass, giving guests easy access to year-round alpine adventure.

Inside The St. Regis, elevated dining, standout amenities and elegantly rustic touches set the tone for a memorable escape. From tranquil spa treatments to DJ-led sets in the courtyard bringing the beats outdoors, the property blends relaxation and vibrant entertainment in all the right ways. 

Upscale experiences come naturally at the hotel, where warm hospitality and polished design defines every stay. With rich wood accents, cozy textures and modern-lodge style, the atmosphere strikes a balance between inviting and refined. Kick back in a stylish room, take a dip in the heated outdoor pool or treat yourself to an exceptional meal like a ricotta-filled tortellini at this resort when visiting Aspen.

What makes it special?

It’s the layered luxury — the kind you can see, feel and slip into. The St. Regis Aspen Resort wraps guests in 400-thread-count Frette linens, while custom-designed furnishings like leather bed frames add a sophisticated flair. Sleek marble bathrooms complete the setting with impeccable detail. Some rooms feature crackling fireplaces or private balconies, and suites step it up with views of Aspen Mountain and butler service that covers everything from morning coffee to garment pressing. 

The most Colorado thing about this place

Well, it has to be the location. As mentioned earlier, it’s just minutes from Aspen Snowmass. Venture out for some of the most iconic Colorado winter experiences. Grab a lift ticket and tear into the powder across four breathtaking slopes. Not into snowboarding or skiing? Go tubing or hop aboard the Silver Queen Gondola, which runs during both summer and winter for panoramic views.

Coolest amenity

The dining and entertainment at this spot is as cool as it gets. The Snow Lodge at the resort functions as a supper club, live-concert venue and lounge. One night might mean digging into seasonal Italian dishes like halibut piccata with lemon-caper butter and Brussels sprouts. Another could take you outside to the Fountain Courtyard, where a world-class DJ turns the energy up. Or, slow things down with caviar and Champagne inside The Jade Room, an intimate lounge that makes any evening feel like a special occasion. 

Thursdays through Saturdays, settle in for Alpine Afternoon Tea in the Mountain Social Bar & Lounge, one of the resort’s other signature dining spaces. The Après Tea service features selections from TEALEAVES, paired with colorful mini tarts and pastries. It’s the kind of unexpected indulgence perfect for a delightful couple’s moment or a catch-up with friends — all with a high-altitude spin on classic tea service. 

Top sensory encounter you’ll experience

While Aspen’s natural beauty may steal the spotlight with its sweeping views, the real sensory escape happens inside the RAKxa Wellness Spa. Expert hands work away deep tension and stubborn knots through treatments that blend ancient-wisdom methods with modern techniques. For jet-lag recovery, a full-body massage combines calming essential oils with the soothing tones of singing bowls — an experience so peaceful you’ll almost wonder if you’ve disappeared into another world. Hot-stone massages melt muscle fatigue, while rejuvenating facials leave skin renewed. The spa is the perfect place to recharge after an active day out.
