Bauhaus alpine roost
Bauhaus geometry and Japanese minimalism shape an alpine sanctuary of layered native timber, hand-dyed textiles, and crackling fireplaces.
“It’s modern with clean lines but keeps the snow lodge feel but without animal heads on the walls.”
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Gridded timber ceilings and handwoven textiles frame quiet, mountain-facing rooms.
Notable
Complimentary Rivian electric shuttles to the slopes and personal two-hour test drives.
Notable
A rooftop cocktail deck hosting après-ski crowds with vinyl playlists and peak vistas.
What they say
One Michelin Key

Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
The Mollie Aspen stands just off Main Street, a quick shuttle ride from Aspen Mountain’s lifts… it’s a world apart from even the most fashionable ski hotels.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Paepcke Park sits directly across the street, and downtown art galleries and the mountain gondola are a short walk away.

The rooms
Freestanding soaking tubs sit beside picture windows facing the mountains, and mudroom entryways keep ski gear neatly tucked away.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The third-floor pool looks straight across Aspen Mountain, surrounded by timber loungers on the open rooftop deck.
The spa and gym
The Naturopathica Spa Suite provides botanical facials and post-ski bodywork. A fitness room and outdoor hot tub complete recovery.
At the table
Petit Trois serves French bistro classics by Chef Ludo Lefebvre, and the rooftop lounge pours agave cocktails by fire pits.
How it began
The hotel takes its name from nineteenth-century silver pioneer Mollie Gibson, reflecting Aspen's mining roots and modernist Bauhaus heritage.
