The hype
Travelers obsess over the location and the rooftop vibe but consistently groan about the small rooms and astronomical price tag.
W Aspen
$400-1200+ / natt
Boka detta om You want the closest thing to a nightclub that also happens to be a ski-in/ski-out hotel.
Varför människor älskar det
- The WET Deck rooftop pool is the undisputed après-ski capital of town
- Ski-in/ski-out access to Aspen Mountain (Ajax) is practically effortless
- House BMWs available for free 2-hour test drives
Snabb Överblick: It’s a loud, expensive scene where the lobby feels like a runway and the rooms feel like a very chic dormitory.
Recenserat av @Coleencronin: I stayed in the Queen Bunk room and it was a total game-changer for our group trip. The beds are massive and super comfy, and waking up to that snow-covered view was unforgettable. It’s the perfect hack for enjoying W Aspen luxury with friends.

Reality check
You are paying for the scene, not the square footage. Standard bathrooms feel 'basic' compared to the St. Regis down the street.
- You're here to see and be seen at the pool party
- You're traveling with a squad and want to crash in a quad-queen bunk room
- You prioritize ski access over silence
Renlighet & Underhåll
8.2
- Housekeeping: Daily service is reliable, but high turnover means you might find scuffs on walls or worn carpets.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally spotless, though some guests report hair in drains or water spots on glass due to the open design.
- Maintenance: Newer build (2019), so major systems work, but expect 'party wear'—chipped furniture edges or loose outlets.
- Linens & towels: Crisp and high quality, typical of the W brand.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells like expensive cologne; rooms are fresh unless a previous guest smoked on the balcony.

FAQ & Dolda tips
Allt du verkligen vill veta innan du bokar.
Is breakfast included?
No. Expect to pay ~$20-30 for entrees like the Ultimate Breakfast Sandwich or Huevos Rancheros at 39 Degrees.
Is it really ski-in/ski-out?
Yes, effectively. You are steps from the Silver Queen Gondola and can ski right back to the hotel entrance.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, but it's pricey. ~$120 non-refundable fee + $20/night + cleaning fees may apply.
Is the pool open to the public?
Generally yes, with a cover charge or reservation, which adds to the crowded/party vibe.
Do the bunk beds have TVs?
Yes, surprisingly. Each bunk often has its own personal mini-TV.
Is there a spa?
No full-service spa on-site. You'll have to walk to the St. Regis for treatments.

5 saker du bör veta innan du åker
💡The hallways are designed to look like mine shafts (dark, dim lighting).
💡The DJ booth in the lobby is shaped like a giant silver nugget.
💡Some rooms have 'tiered' beds where one is slightly higher than the other—a weird layout quirk.
💡The bathroom lighting is moody and dim—terrible for applying makeup.
💡You can hear the snowcats grooming the mountain at night if you face the slopes (actually a soothing sound for some).
