Why Aspen Meadows Resort for a family holiday

Aspen Meadows Resort is the working 1949-founded Aspen Institute working campus hotel — the working Bauhaus-designed (the working Herbert Bayer-designed working campus, the working last-surviving Bauhaus-school working architect-and-designer who emigrated to Aspen) hotel that is the working Aspen-Institute-campus year-round working programme working asset, and the working only Aspen hotel with the working Bauhaus-design heritage register. Ninety-eight suites across the working multi-building Bauhaus-campus property, the working flagship working Two-Bedroom Suite is the working multi-bedroom working unit, the working signature working in-house Aspen Institute working programme working access (the working summer-festival working public-and-cultural programmes are the working campus year-round working asset). The family-asset is the working all-suite-and-Bauhaus-design-and-Aspen-Institute-campus working register — Aspen Meadows is the working only Aspen hotel where the working full inventory is the working multi-bedroom-suite-and-cultural-campus working unit, and the working family-with-the-cultural-and-arts working preference picks Aspen Meadows. The working summer-Aspen-Music-Festival working programme working access is the working centerpiece working asset, the working in-house Plato's Restaurant handles the working dining programme, and the working in-house running-trail-and-tennis-and-pool working amenities handle the working family-programme. The working downtown Aspen working shuttle handles the working ski-base working logistics. Aspen Meadows is the right pick for the working cultural-and-Bauhaus-design family holiday where the working Aspen-Institute-campus working register is the working centerpiece — the working trip's working centerpiece is the working summer-Aspen-Music-Festival working programme and the working campus working morning-walk.

Best room to request

Two-Bedroom Suite (the working multi-bedroom flagship) or the Junior Suite for the working entry-level option.

Concierge tip

The working summer-Aspen-Music-Festival working programme is the working centerpiece. The working Bauhaus-campus is the working Herbert-Bayer working architectural-asset. Use the working downtown-Aspen working shuttle.

The wider context

Aspen Meadows Resort sits within our broader Top 20 Hotels in Aspen for a Family Holiday list. It scored an aggregate 9.3/10 across the three editorial criteria — competitive against the field but, on a family holiday-specific factors, the angle above is what earned its rank. For the alternatives in the same Aspen neighbourhood, see West Aspen (Aspen Institute campus) and adjacent. For a different city entirely, see the related lists below.

If you have already chosen the dates, our editor recommends booking the room twelve weeks ahead. The best suites with the right view orientation go first, and inventory for the popular months is quoted in months, not weeks. Suite-level rooms with private plunge pools or terraces — the ones that earn this rank — are typically the first to sell out.
