Best Hotels with Airport Shuttle Service in Aspen

Sitting at the base of Aspen Mountain on the southern edge of town, The Little Nell caters to snow junkies with on-site services such as a Ski Concierge team (who can secure everything from lift tickets to ski rentals) and an equipment storage center. However, guests say that the hotel's proximity to powder isn't the only reason to book. The Little Nell's two in-house restaurants – element47 and Ajax Tavern – earn high praise for their artfully prepared plates, and the hotel spa is ideal for post-skiing relaxation. Although you won't be spending much time indoors, you can look forward to resting up in a spacious and inviting guest room, surrounded by warm, soothing cream-colored hues, a gas fireplace, a well-stocked minibar and a flat-screen TV. And, like they do at The Little Nell's sister property, the Ojai Valley Inn in California, recent guests give the customer service two thumbs up, saying that the hotel's employees were some of the nicest they'd ever met.

St. Regis properties attract high-end clientele with their long list of luxurious amenities and spot-on customer service, and the Aspen branch is no different. Sitting on the southern edge of town, this beautiful hotel has added a modern spin on the traditional ski lodge. Guest rooms are spacious and sport oak floors, deep-soaking tubs and furniture designed by luxury frontman, Ralph Lauren. And recent guests agree that the lobby is a great place to relax after a day on the slopes. On top of its good looks, The St. Regis Aspen Resort wins travelers over with its full-service Remède Spa and the flavorful on-site dining options such as The Velvet Buck. And because this hotel is part of the Marriott hotel family, Marriott Bonvoy members can earn and use points here.

Sitting in the heart of Aspen, Colorado, Hotel Jerome evokes a sense of true ski lodge luxury with ornate stone fireplaces, plush furnishings and a blend of rustic and contemporary decor. Recent guests rave about the spacious yet cozy guest rooms at this Auberge property, which come complete flat-screen TVs and bathrooms with separate tubs and walk-in showers. Meanwhile, the on-site Auberge Spa at Hotel Jerome provides a full menu of services geared toward helping you unwind after a day on the slopes. And the American bistro dishes served at Prospect and the tasty drinks and light fare at J-Bar are sure to satisfy your appetite. But according to guest reviews, it's the Hotel Jerome's warm, friendly staff that makes a stay at this property truly memorable. Travelers say that Hotel Jerome's employees were quick to handle service requests and offer suggestions for things to do or places to eat.

Despite its name, the Viceroy Snowmass makes for a great luxury getaway with or without powder present. Rising prominently above Snowmass Village near some of the area's most popular slopes, this massive resort features a variety of outdoor activities, from skiing in the winter to hiking in the summer. Most visitors rave about the Viceroy's chic atmosphere and top-notch amenities: When you're not taking advantage of the great outdoors, recent guests recommend spending an hour or two getting pampered at the spa, lounging by the pool or enjoying a delicious meal at the on-site TORO Kitchen & Lounge. The guest rooms at this Viceroy resort also earn high praise, with travelers commending the elegant linens, kitchen utensils and deep-soaking tubs. Meanwhile, the hotel's multiple-bedroom suites are convenient if you're traveling with kids or friends in tow.

Add a little green to your white winter getaway by booking a room at this eco-friendly hotel. The Limelight Hotel Aspen's location between Aspen Mountain and downtown makes it a great home base for a variety of Aspen visitors, you can even rent a complimentary bike to get around, but don't come here expecting the exposed wood beams and bear-skin rugs of a typical ski lodge. The Limelight is decked out in more modern attire, complete with floor-to-ceiling windows, rich leather furnishings and shiny wooden furniture. Guests love the hotel's look, particularly on the rooftop terraces and around the pool area, which comes complete with two joint Jacuzzis. But people aren't the only ones who enjoy a night at the Limelight Hotel: Fido will appreciate the complimentary food and water bowls, not to mention the nearby dog-walking area. Meanwhile, pizza takes on a new form at The Lounge, offering everyone's favorite meal from organic, locally sourced ingredients.

Encompassing 40 acres of snowy space, Aspen Meadows is far from your typical ski resort. Rather than kitschy ski-lodge style, this massive resort boasts bright and modern decor. Expansive windows let a lot of light into the guest rooms, which are decked out in neutral hues (with pops of color here and there), kitchenettes, flat-panel TVs and complimentary high-speed Internet access. Private balconies and patios boast views of the Rockies; you can also enjoy the scenery from a poolside lounge chair or from the patios of the on-site Plato's and Meadows restaurants. Aside from the location and spacious rooms (starting at 500 square feet), recent guests say the superb customer service is the top reason to stay here. 

The Kimpton brand's reputation for fun and funky decor melds surprisingly well with traditional Aspen style at the Sky Hotel. While bright colors and bold patterns abound, small tributes to local tradition  — like massive fireplaces and pillowcases adorned with aspen tree trunk designs — add a rustic touch. Guests love the Sky Hotel's location (neighboring The Little Nell at the base of Aspen Mountain), and its outdoor pool and hot tub. The guest rooms also receive a thumbs-up, with visitors praising the lively colors and patterns present throughout. A downside, though, was the fee for wireless Internet access (but it is free for members of the Kimpton Karma loyalty program). And thanks to the brand's pet-friendly nature, you won't have to worry about paying lofty fees for Fido or Fluffy. When you get hungry, head to the on-site 39 Degrees Lounge for a meal or a nightcap.
