SCOUT REVIEW
There’s a reason why so many people around the world love their Starbucks coffee – a Double Shot Grande Caramel Latte tastes the same regardless of whether you’re in Chicago or Queenstown – so you always know what you’re going to get. The same principle can be applied to hotel chains – you know you can always expect the same level of service and comfort wherever you go, which is a nice thing to be able to rely on in the often unpredictable world of travel.
With this in mind, we're glad the Westin in Snowmass upholds the quality standard we’ve come to expect from the brand. For those who’ve never had the pleasure, this means Heavenly Beds, Heavenly Showers, great service, quality food and excellent 5 star facilities. Westin Snowmass opened after a $47 million makeover of the previous property, Silvertree. The place was completely gutted, leaving not a trace of the old hotel. The only thing that remained the same was its excellent slope-side location, which means that getting on your skis in the morning is as easy as taking five steps out the door.
The Snowmass ski school base is just a short ride down the Skittles gondola. The hotel is also quite close to Snowmass Mall just below, and Snowmass village a little further down – which should satisfy those looking for a wide variety of shops, restaurants, bars and cafes.
And if you feel like venturing a little further afield, Aspen’s RFTA (Roaring Fork Transportation Authority) shuttle bus leaves conveniently from just near the front doors of the hotel, so the three other mountains and Aspen village are only ever a short bus ride away.
The rooms at Westin Snowmass are modern and spacious, offering typical mountain decor throughout. The Deluxe rooms offer a little extra seating space, while the Junior Suites are perfect for those who like a separate living and bedroom, and a bit more comfortable for a longer stay. The views from the rooms aren’t always great, with some rooms enjoying premier views of the slopes, while others providing an outlook over the mall and hills beyond. Many of the King bedrooms face other buildings, which obviously isn’t ideal. So if you have your heart set on mountain views, be prepared to pay for it. That said, after a full day of skiing, shopping and enjoying an après drink or two, it’s unlikely that you’ll end up spending much time in your room.
The Westin hotel brand is always a fan favourite, and guests can head into their ski vacation with confidence knowing they'll receive fantastic hospitality in the heart of Aspen Snowmass.
Who should stay here
Westin Snowmass would be suited to families and couples who are seeking the creature comforts of Westin’s luxury brand, with easy access to the Snowmass slopes.
Location
The hotel is located right on the slopes of Snowmass, above the Snowmass Mall. It’s also a very short distance from the Skittles Gondola, which transports skiers to the Snowmass village and resort base area, so you're super close to the restaurants, cafes and bars.

About Aspen Snowmass
Nestled deep in the heart of the Rockies, Aspen is the jewel in the crown of Colorado skiing with four big mountains for skiers to choose from. The resort is best known for its glitz and glamour, and while that’s true, there’s certainly a part of the town’s personality that is down-to-earth and relaxed. This is probably the result of its mining heritage combined with a resort offering some of the country’s best ski terrain and fabulous powder. Whether you're a family looking for your next memorable ski vacation, and avid powderhound, or a hopeless romantic in search of a classic ski-to-après experience, Aspen ticks all the boxes for everyone - there's a reason Scout always goes back to Aspen to ski!
