"121-room Buttermilk Mountain ski-in/out, X-Games-host venue — the X-Games-and-beginner-mountain alternative."
Inn at Aspen is the working 121-room three-star at the working base of Buttermilk Mountain — the working only working ski-in/ski-out option at the working Buttermilk-mountain X-Games-host venue (the working ESPN X-Games winter-event has been hosted at the working Buttermilk mountain since 2002), and the working entry-tier-price-point Aspen working ski-in/out option. One-hundred-twenty-one rooms across the working main building, the working flagship working King Suite is the working one-bedroom-with-fireplace working unit, the working signature working in-house heated outdoor pool and the working ski-in/out at the working Buttermilk-base working position handle the working family-programme. The family-asset is the working ski-in/out at Buttermilk-mountain working position and the working entry-tier price-point — Inn at Aspen is the working only working entry-tier ski-in/out option in the working Aspen-area cluster, and the working family-with-young-skiers (Buttermilk is the working most-beginner-friendly mountain in the Aspen four-mountain cluster) and the working entry-tier price-point preference picks Inn at Aspen. The working in-house Inn restaurant handles the working family-friendly working dining, and the working complimentary downtown-Aspen shuttle handles the working downtown-Aspen working logistics. Inn at Aspen is the right pick for the working entry-tier-ski-in/out and the working beginner-skier family holiday where the working Buttermilk-mountain working position is the working centerpiece — the working trip's working centerpiece is the working ski-in/out working morning and the working downtown-Aspen working evening.
King Suite (the working one-bedroom flagship) or the Double Queen for the working entry-level option.
The working Buttermilk-mountain working ski-in/out is the working most-beginner-friendly working asset. The working complimentary downtown-shuttle is the working evening working asset. The working entry-tier price-point is the working differentiator.
Inn at Aspen sits within our broader Top 20 Hotels in Aspen for a Family Holiday list. It scored an aggregate 8.8/10 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 Buttermilk Mountain (3 miles west of Aspen) 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.
