Aspen Meadows Resort

Going Green is not all its cut out to be!

I enjoyed the layout of the room, very modern and chic. The only problem, no air conditioner! I did not know this was Green Hotel, no air conditioning was not my idea of comfort. Had I known that at time of booking I would have chosen a different spot. If your into the whole Green thing then this is a spot for you. Everything else was excellent. The staff was very courteous and always asked if I needed anything.

Excellent off-season hotel

Grounds were very nice. Parking was convenient; restaurant was upscale; quiet. Only there for one night in off-season and room rate was a bit high-side, but we got a nice room. Perfectly happy with the experience, including booking through the internet.

Beautiful setting

The "campus" is terrific, a great setting and location to town/mountains. The diningroom and bar very good, exercise room well equipped, clean and up to date. Rooms very comfortable. Only slight down side, buildings are old and hall/room noises are audible. With noisy guests, it could be a problem.

Outstanding Resort Hotel

The Aspen Meadows Hotel is an outstanding resort hotel. The architecture is incredible (Mid-20th Century Bauhaus), the rooms are impecably maintained and absolutely beautiful (furnished with Mid-20th Century pieces and complete with a microwave, refrigerator, and coffee maker), wonderful artwork (mainly Herbert Bayer), huge windows with phenomenal vistas of the surrounding mountains and aspen groves, a wonderful restaurant (Plato's) with panoramic views of the surrounding forests and mountains, a great health club, beautiful grounds (40 acres) with amazing pieces of sculpture, a great business center, and a very hospitable staff. The resort is very close to the Aspen Music Tent and the Aspen Institute. The only downside to the resort is it is about 1 mile outside of town, but they do provide a free shuttle service that is available 24 hours a day. All in all, the Aspen Meadows Resort is one of the most beautiful and unique hotels in Colorado. I would definitely recommend it to patrons who want a restful, peaceful, and sophisticated experience in the magnificent countryside of Aspen. It is a "five-star" experience and well worth the price.

Good Experience

GOOD CONFORT CLEAN

Great service

The staff could not have been more courteous, friendly, and helpful. Beautiful grounds and views. The resort is a 20 min walk, 10 min bike ride and 4 min drive to downtown Aspen. Shuttle service is provided by the resort. The resort is located on the grounds of the Aspen Institute, is over 50 yrs old, and has a very 1960's, collegiate ambiance...if you can use the words collegiate and ambiance in the same sentence ;o) Lack of A/C in the suite is the only drawback of the accomodations. Would rebook in a heartbeat.

Beautiful Hotel

This hotel was amazing. The scenery around the hotel of the Aspen Mountains was breathtaking. The rooms are more like apartments, plenty of space. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We loved the onsite resturant (Platos) the food was delicious and the wait staff was extremely nice and even recommended other resturaunts around town to try. I WILL be staying at the Aspen Meadows Resort again, and I will recommend this hotel to everyone. I rate this resort 5 stars!!

Dining Room service

Food service was disorganized and slow. Cold breakfast buffet for less money would be nice.

Affordable quality short drive from Ski Resort and Downtown

Upon checking-in we were greeted by a VERY rude receptionist who didn't have us in his system. Thank god we have thought to print out a copy of our registration. After that, our stay was heaven. We had a spacious sunny room, heated floors, complimentary golfcart ride to parking lot, and there's also a free shuttle into town every half hour.

Great Place

My husband and I loved our room! It was modern, clean and spacious. We had a office/working area, mini kitchen area, large bathroom and master bedroom. It had plenty of windows and views all around. The staff was very accommodating and helpful at all times. We were very close to the town, yet secluded enough for privacy and enjoyment of our surroundings. We will definitely elect to stay here again! We had a wonderful time.

OK.. Just OK

This hotel was ok. Just ok. The room heaters are old and radiate throught the floor. You have to park about 100 to 400 yards away from your room. The hotel does give great service and will give you golf cart service to and from you car. It is a little off the beaten path for Aspen. By this, I mean its 3 or 4 miles from down town and just not convinient for a town like Aspen. All in all its not a bad hotel. However, for the price, i would spend more and stay closer to the action.
