Our take
Aspen Square sits at 617 East Cooper Avenue, directly across from the Silver Queen Gondola, so you walk from the lobby to the main lift of Aspen Mountain in a couple of minutes. Every unit, from the 46 m² fireplace studio to the 158 m² three-bedroom condo, has a full kitchen and a private balcony, and the larger ones burn real wood. The heated outdoor pool and two hot tubs do the après. Daily housekeeping is the detail that sets it apart from most Aspen condos. There is no restaurant or bar on site, and units are privately owned, so décor varies: I would still pick it for skiers who want the gondola and the downtown streets at the door.
- Aspen Mountain is intermediate-to-expert terrain, not a first-timer's hill: if anyone in the group is learning, ride the free skier shuttle to Buttermilk and keep the gondola for the stronger skiers.
- The free skier shuttles also reach Aspen Highlands and Snowmass, so one pass and no car cover all four mountains from this address.
- Ask for a two- or three-bedroom condo if a wood-burning fireplace matters; the studios and one-bedrooms have a fireplace in the lounge too, but the larger units burn wood.
- Free guest parking is included, a real asset in downtown Aspen; drive in, then leave the car for the whole stay.

Why guests love itA full kitchen and a balcony in every unit, two-bedroom condos of about 93 m² that sleep six, and a gondola across the street make Aspen Square practical for families who ski Aspen Mountain. The heated outdoor pool and two hot tubs fill the late afternoon, though children under 13 need an adult with them in the pool, gym and hot tubs. Babysitting can be arranged through the property. The catch for young beginners: the gondola goes up a mountain built for intermediates and experts, so lessons mean a shuttle to Buttermilk each morning. With confident skiers aged ten and up, I would book it without hesitation; with toddlers in ski school, a base at Buttermilk or Snowmass saves a daily transfer.
