Curated byRomanUpdated I’d pick The Inn at Aspen for an alpine stay. The pool is a nice bonus.
More about this place
The Inn at Aspen is a mid-range ski-in/ski-out hotel at the base of Buttermilk Mountain, offering direct access to Aspen Snowmass skiing at a significantly lower price point than the Nell or Viceroy. It's a practical, well-run property that delivers on its core promise: ski access and comfortable rooms without the luxury markup.
Rooms and suites are comfortably furnished in a classic alpine style, with many offering mountain views. The hotel has a heated outdoor pool and hot tub, a fitness center, and a restaurant and bar. A free shuttle connects to Aspen's other mountains and downtown.
Buttermilk is best known as the venue for the X Games and as the most beginner-friendly of Aspen's four mountains — making Inn at Aspen particularly well-suited to families and newer skiers.
It's the smart choice for ski-focused travelers who want genuine slope access without spending Little Nell prices. Families and groups find the value-to-location ratio hard to beat during ski season.
