Mollie Aspen, a newcomer to the design scene in town, is paying homage to the under-sung design legacy of Aspen, specifically highlighting the influence of Bauhaus master Herbert Bayer. Bayer, who settled in Aspen post-World War II, designed iconic landmarks such as the Wheeler Opera House and the Aspen Institute. The boutique hotel curated by Mollie Aspen seamlessly blends geometric lines with craft-forward touches, embodying a subtle Bauhaus sensibility.
Drawing inspiration from a wider array of design influences, the property features Noguchi lamps, Mario Bellini leather sofas, and Roger Capron coffee tables, all set against a rich palette of chocolate brown and forest green. The guest rooms, designed as cozy cocoons, are adorned with Parachute bedding and Maison Balzac hand-blown glassware, exuding luxury and comfort.
After a day of outdoor adventures on the trails, guests can unwind on the third-floor terrace, where a spa pool offers stunning 180-degree views of Aspen Mountain. For dining options, guests can choose between the soon-to-open French bistro Petit Trois by chef Ludo Lefebvre or indulge in casual comfort food such as burgers, Jidori chicken Milanese, and corkscrew fries at the convivial all-day restaurant.
The hotel amenities include a restaurant, bar, gym, spa pool, and room service, catering to guests’ every need. For those seeking a more intimate experience, the Snug King room, aptly named at just 185 square feet, offers a cozy yet luxurious retreat for solo travelers or couples looking for a more accessible entry point to Aspen’s luxury offerings.
