W Aspen and The Sky Residences at W Aspen, which is slated to open for the 2018-19 winter ski season, will be the first alpine escape in North America from W Hotels Worldwide.

W Aspen is being designed by the award-winning firms of Rowland+Broughton Architecture of Aspen and Nemaworkshop of New York City, in partnership with W’s in-house design team. Locally inspired, this modern-day mountain chalet will celebrate the spirit of Aspen, offering 88 guestrooms, including six suites, and 11 W-branded fractional residences.  An oversized split-level Living Room, the brand’s alternative to the staid hotel lobby, reimagines the traditional hotel dining scene with a modern approach to dynamic cocktails and cuisine. To complete the experience of this incomparable location, the hotel will feature a 1,600 square foot outdoor patio and a 12,000 square foot rooftop bar and pool, overlooking Aspen Mountain and creating the ultimate experience for après-ski and warm-weather events.

A full-service ski shop will provide guests with equipment rentals and storage capabilities, while an 1,100 square foot FIT®, the W brand’s modern gym concept, will aid travellers in staying in shape on and off the slopes. With more than 1,600 square feet of event and meeting space, W Aspen is sure to become an attraction for spectacular events and high energy meetings at the base of Aspen Mountain.

The Sky Residences at W Aspen will also provide a unique opportunity to call both W and Aspen home. The Sky Residences at W Aspen will offer the marketplace the newest ski-in residential inventory, boasting the first slope side address in downtown Aspen since the opening of the Residences at The Little Nell.

The Sky Residences at W Aspen will be a unique offering of only 11 fractional residences. Each Residence is located on the third or fourth floors of W Aspen, with commanding views of Aspen Mountain and the Aspen area. Owners will enjoy all the services and amenities of the W Aspen and will also have their own private rooftop deck with a pool and gathering areas.
