these twelve rooms and suites vary in style, but they’re all stylish, and all cleanly focused, so that antique elements... are given their proper space against a simple white backdrop.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Historic Main Street is one block away, and skiers can walk two blocks to the Town Lift.
The rooms
Beds are dressed in Pratesi linens beneath soaring ceilings, and bathrooms have heated white marble floors.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated outdoor pool is terraced into the mountainside among aspens, set beneath the historic schoolhouse belfry.
Hot tub and massage
A heated hot tub sits terraced into the snowy hillside, and massages are booked directly to your room.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Organic mountain breakfasts are served by the tall windows, and custom multi-course dinners can be arranged on request.
Today, the interior is anything but traditional, from the whitewashed living room with 16-foot ceilings to the antique mirror and the white, lacquered antler chandelier.
How it began
Built in 1889 for miners' children, the limestone building survived the town's Great Fire before becoming a hotel.
