Viceroy Snowmass
Snowmass has always been the place to go if you were looking for very long immaculately groomed trails that guarantee the best cruising on all the ski areas of Aspen, Buttermilk and the Highlands. And, with its incredibly professional up close and personal ski school it still is where you want to bring the kids to learn. But after the ski lifts closed the celebs and hot shot skiers were out of there in a heartbeat and back on the shuttle to Aspen.
The luxurious Viceroy Snowmass has changed all that. Check out the outdoor pool apre ski and you'll see ski bunnies and their friends partying in the pool side cabanas and enjoying a hot drink or Champagne warming by the out door fireplaces. Is this Beverly Hills or Vegas? No, but the hotel is a destination in itself and is attracting the cool, international and curious. In fact Brazilian Portuguese maybe the 2nd unofficial language. Viceroy Snowmass has brought a new 21st century ski-in ski-out sensibility to the west. This is an adult luxury resort that welcome children.
Drive into the hotel entrance under the porte-cochere and you'll be greeted by a very friendly well outfitted and attentive young bell staff. Walk inside and you'll be wowed by the design and sophistication. The bar at the Viceroy is hands down, the most beautiful one in the valley. The Mixologist’s (bartenders) are as good as you’ll find anywhere. Best Moscow Mule I ever drank. Now-a-days your likely to see beautiful moms and dads partying with beautiful moms and moms and dads and dads while their kids are happily entertaining each other not too far away.
Viceroy Snowmass is an impressive structure even from a distance. Sitting in the middle of the majestic Rockies it resembles a huge fortress that could just as easily fit in the Himalayas as it does here. The hotels 173 unique accommodations designed by Jean-Michel Gathy have a Rocky Mountain meets Zen feeling. Many are equipped with gas fireplaces, private sundecks, convenience or full kitchens with premium appliances and baths with deep soaking tubs. The one-bedrooms and up even have washers and dryers. All have high definition flat screen TV’s with on-demand programming and audio system with IPOD docks.
This may sound like just another upscale condo in the Rockies but rest assured, this is a full service luxury hotel. Viceroy Snowmass offers 24 hr room service, nightly turndown, gourmet dining at restaurant 8K. The glam pool side café is decorated as an outdoor living room. Pool cabanas which are more often seen in South Beach work quite well here.
The spa is 7,000 square feet. Located beyond a dramatic custom-designed brass gate, it offers a selection of holistic wellness experiences, from Ute Indian-inspired therapies to contemporary beauty rituals. A meditative relaxation lounge, awash in the soothing sound of falling water from an infinity pool and waterfall, centers the spa. A comprehensive fitness center adjacent to the spa includes the latest cardiovascular and strength training equipment. Personal training, coaching and sports therapy are available by appointment.
The spectacular alpine setting of Snowmass needed a world class hotel to bring the area to another level. Whistler has the famed Fairmont Chateau Whistler, St. Moritz has Badrutt’s Palace and now finally, America has its new palace ski hotel called the Viceroy Snowmass.
