"Located in downtown Aspen, this hotel is praised for its walkable location during the Winter X Games, putting guests steps from venues, restaurants, and nightlife while still delivering a comfortable mountain‑town base." - Jessica Chapel
"Bringing an undeniably youthful flair to Aspen, this hotel leans into bold accent furniture, flannel bed runners, and buzzy rooftop terraces that capture panoramic scenery; its ideal siting between Aspen Mountain and the Silver Queen Gondola puts you at the center of the winter action. I appreciated the outdoor pool and hot tubs, the chance to test-drive the property's fully electric Audi vehicles, and the concierge's willingness to arrange outdoor activities like fly-fishing in the Roaring Fork Valley." - Jessica Chapel

"The Limelight has a storied past. The property was originally the Ski and Spur Bar, serving outlaws and skiers. In the 1950s, new owners dubbed it “the Limelite,” and it became a popular nightclub. In 2005, a brand-new lodge went up on the site, and in 2008 the Limelight received a makeover ushering it into eco-chic modernity. Rooms come in a range of styles, from dog-friendly one-bedrooms to two-bedroom suites with full kitchens and dining rooms. All rooms have balconies to take in mountain views. The Lounge has become an après hangout and is known for its great beer selection and for hosting local bands Thursday through Monday nights. The hot tub is the perfect spot to relax after a day of hiking or skiing, while the rooftop terrace is a private oasis to take in mountain views. Travelers who want to get a local’s perspective of Aspen will love the hotel’s complimentary activities."
