Stonehill Taylor partnered with Limelight Hotels to renovate the brand’s flagship property in the heart of downtown Aspen. The approximately 100,000 square-foot project encompasses all public spaces, including the lobby, lounge, meeting rooms, pool and fitness areas, and the restaurant and bar, in addition to the 120 guest rooms and six suites.
The fresh, light, and welcoming environment pays homage to the location’s dynamic past and vibrant present. Stonehill Taylor tributes Aspen’s legacy as a place of innovation with reference to discovery of silver and the subsequent use of ski lifts that made silver mining the city’s main industry, putting Aspen on the map. The design also nods to the area’s natural surroundings, notably the “silver queen,” the appearance of a reclining woman’s profile on the ridge of Aspen Mountain.
