Scout loves

Scout tips
- All of the condos are individually owned and refurbishment is totally up to the owner. As a result the décor can vary wildly.
- A resort fee is included in the price, which covers Wi-Fi, parking, newspapers and other amenities.
- Apart from front desk and concierge, there are no additional services such as room service or ski valet.
- Corner units offer a lighter and brighter option, and usually with great views.
- Sign up the night before for the hotel morning shuttle to Aspen Highlands.
SCOUT REVIEW
If you’re familiar with the Aspen ski scene, it’s likely that you’ll know someone who has stayed at Aspen Square Condominium Hotel at least once. This place has been around for years and despite the stiff competition from neighboring hotels, it remains a popular choice. The main reason for this is location: it’s located right in the middle of downtown Aspen, a mere 64 steps (according to the hotel) from the Aspen Mountain Gondola and a block-and-a-half to the ski shuttle. It’s also right across the road from a grocery market – making its location just about perfect!
Aspen Square condos attracts huge numbers of return visitors each season – some have even been known to request the same condo every year for 20 years. The only thing that’s inconsistent is the décor, which varies wildly between condos due to the fact they’re individually owned. This means that, for the same rate, you could find yourself in a freshly renovated condo, or one that hasn’t been touched for quite a few years (if there are specific preferences you seek, let us know and we can find the best match for your stay).
But we’re willing to turn a blind eye to that – since all of the condos are in great condition, regardless of how recently they’ve been renovated, and the property is well managed. In fact, the décor in some of these condos manages to be charmingly ‘retro’ without even trying. Saying that, most of the condos are spacious, offer great storage, and flexible bedding arrangements, perfect condos for families. Some condos boast washer and dryer, however, there is also communal guest laundry located in each condo building, and on each floor.
What’s more important (aside from the location) is that all the condos – from the single studios up to the two bedroom apartments – are a great size. They’re also well equipped, and most on the south side feature incredible views of the ski slopes. The views on the north side aren’t too bad either – as they overlook the rooftops of Aspen village. Whichever way you’re facing, just be sure to request a room that’s higher up in order to get the best views.
The Aspen Square condos are the perfect lodging option for families in Aspen, located conveniently close to the slopes of Ajax, near local restaurants and bars of downtown, and offering all the necessities for a self-catered ski package.
Who should stay here
The Aspen Square Condominiums are perfect for couples who don’t need 5-star luxury, and who want to be close to the ski slopes with the option of cooking-in, yet also within a stone’s throw of restaurants.
Location
Aspen Square is in a prime location – right in the heart of downtown Aspen, and “only 64 steps” from the Aspen Gondola. A grocery market is conveniently located across the street and the shuttles to other ski areas are just a block and a half away.

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!
