Aspen's shopping is all in the compact downtown grid, so almost any hotel in town puts the boutiques, galleries and the gondola within a few minutes' walk. 3 hotels here hold MICHELIN Keys (2025 selection): Hotel Jerome, Auberge Collection (1), The Little Nell (1) and MOLLIE Aspen (1). We sort every hotel by the shopping attached to it or nearest it, and we don't print rates.
