Limelight Aspen

Steps from the Silver Queen Gondola, Limelight Aspen anchors downtown with 126 rooms that blend modern comfort with a nod to the town’s Wild West roots. The property occupies the site of the historic Ski and Spur Bar, which evolved into The Limelite dinner theater and nightclub before becoming Aspen’s first hotel to feature televisions, telephones, air conditioning, and fridges. Rebuilt by the Paas family in 2008, the current 126-room hotel honors that legacy while offering contemporary amenities like free Wi-Fi and a 24-hour front desk. Guests utilize the location as a base for skiing, paddleboarding, fly fishing on the Roaring Fork, and gallery walks, with packages often including lift tickets and discounts for passholders. Spacious suites and rooms provide a relaxed retreat after days on the mountain or in town, maintaining the laidback luxury that has defined the brand since its inception.
