The house
White Elephant ResortsAlpine residential sanctum
Brass elephant knockers, fireside courtyard seating, and a bustling lobby bar cultivate an intimate, mountain-lodge living room feel off Main Street.
“White Elephant Aspen brings the Nantucket brand’s residential style of hospitality to Colorado, with mountain-facing suites and understated interiors.”
What it’s good at
Remarkable
EMBARC interiors pair Roman clay-washed walls and white oak millwork with original Alex Katz landscapes.
Remarkable
Dedicated ski valets, airport transfers in BMW house cars, and nightly turndown with local bean-to-bar chocolate.
Notable
Lola 41 draws evening crowds for sushi rolls, parallel-inspired cocktails, and fireside courtyard drinks.
What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler, Wallpaper* and AFAR.
with just 54 residential-style rooms, an address in Aspen’s quiet West End neighborhood, and high-touch service, the vibe is more private mountain house than hotel.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set across from Paepcke Park in the quiet West End, the hotel sits ten minutes on foot from downtown boutiques and restaurants.
The rooms
Porcelain tiles, embossed leather headboards, and white oak millwork frame residential layouts, with private mountain-facing terraces in select suites.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated outdoor pool and hot tubs stay open year-round, supplied with warm robes from a courtyard closet.
The spa & gym
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Lola 41
Red banquettes line the dining room, where the kitchen prepares sushi and global dishes inspired by the 41st parallel.
White Elephant Aspen – the brand’s first Western outpost, joining properties in Nantucket and Palm Beach – introduces a contemporary, alpine-chic aesthetic to Aspen.
At the table
Downstairs, speakeasy lounge 41 Below pours late-night drinks among fringed red velvet armchairs and glowing globe chandeliers.
How it began
While scouting for a personal winter home, the founding family discovered the old Aspen Hotel for sale and spent years rebuilding it.
