A newcomer to the scene, Mollie Aspen pays tribute to the town’s under-sung design legacy—specifically, the influence of Bauhaus master Herbert Bayer, who moved there post–World War II and designed landmarks including the Wheeler Opera House and the Aspen Institute. Inside the boutique hotel, geometric lines mingle with craft-forward touches (see: a show-stopping abstract textile by American artisan Rachel Snack), lending a subtle Bauhaus sensibility. The property broadens its inspiration to bring in a wider array of design influences, incorporating Noguchi lamps, Mario Bellini leather sofas, and Roger Capron coffee tables, all set against a moody palette of chocolate brown and forest green. There’s none of that famous Bauhaus austerity in the cocoon-like guest rooms, which are each fitted with Parachute bedding and Maison Balzac hand-blown glassware.
After a day on the trails, head to the third-floor terrace, where a spa pool offers 180-degree views of Aspen Mountain. For dinner, choose the soon-to-open French bistro Petit Trois from chef Ludo Lefebvre, or opt for casual comfort (burgers, Jidori chicken Milanese, corkscrew fries) at the convivial, all-day restaurant.
- Amenities: Restaurant, bar, gym, spa pool, room service
