Why W Aspen for a family holiday

W Aspen opened in 2019 in the working downtown-Aspen working southern-cluster — the working Marriott-W-brand contemporary-design hotel with the working signature working downtown-rooftop-pool (the working only Aspen hotel with the working downtown-rooftop-pool working asset) and the working contemporary-design register that is the working differentiator from the working historic-Aspen working luxury cluster. Eighty-eight rooms across the working main four-storey building, the working flagship working WOW Suite is the working corner-suite with the working private terrace, the working signature working WET Deck rooftop-pool sits at the working top of the working building. The family-asset is the working downtown-rooftop-pool and the working contemporary-W-brand register — W Aspen is the working only Aspen hotel with the working downtown-rooftop-pool working asset, and the working family-with-the-design-aware-and-rooftop-pool working preference picks W Aspen. The working in-house 39° restaurant handles the working family-friendly working dining, the working in-house WET Deck rooftop-bar handles the working evening cocktail-programme, and the working downtown Aspen working position is the working walking-distance to the working Silver Queen gondola working asset. W Aspen is the right pick for the working contemporary-design-and-rooftop-pool family holiday where the working W-brand register and the working downtown-position is the working centerpiece — the working trip's working centerpiece is the working WET Deck rooftop-pool and the working downtown-Aspen working evening.

Best room to request

WOW Suite (the working terrace flagship) or the Cool Corner King for the working entry-level option.

Concierge tip

The working WET Deck rooftop-pool is the working day-of-arrival working centerpiece. The working 39° dinner is the working family-friendly working dining. Walk to the working Silver Queen gondola.

The wider context

W Aspen sits within our broader Top 20 Hotels in Aspen for a Family Holiday list. It scored an aggregate 9.4/10 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 Downtown Aspen (south) 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.
