I recommend the hotel Lenado whole-heartedly to anyone who is looking for a great place to stay for their skiing/outdoors vacation in Aspen. The manager obviously knows what she's doing as there's a lot of attention to detail and each member of the staff is absolutely wonderful and well-trained. Lenado has the personal touch of a small hotel with all the amenities of a large one. As to the breakfast there: who says that it has to be a one-course meal? My husband and I still miss chef Kyle's fluffy pancakes. :-)

I have been to Aspen at least five times. This was by far the best hotel I have experienced.
It had all the amenities of a bigger hotel, yet the coziness of a bed and breakfast.
Cleanliness was not an option for me, and I was not disappointed. The breakfast is so good it is frequented by people staying at other hotels, and it isn't advertised. I had read a review that it could be noisy and it wasn't at all. it was peaceful and calm, and the view from our balcony afforded us a view of the mountains. The best part was how welcoming and helpful the staff is. Did I mention that the location is in the heart of Aspen proper?
I would not consider staying anywhere else when I return to Aspen! Donna

My friend and I stayed in Aspen for a girls' weekend to ski and snowshoe. We wanted to be in the center of town but away from the hustle and bustle of the busy hotel scene. The Hotel Lenado is a short walk from the town center (pedestrian mall) where all the restaurants and shops are located. All the Aspen activities are within walking distance. The quaint and quiet rooms are all equipped with flat screen tv's and Bose radios. Pets are welcome. A gourmet breakfast is included in the room rate and was the highlight of our stay. We were served freshly cooked items, made to order. The multi-national staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. We were updated on ski and road conditions to make our stay more enjoyable and travel home easier. The nightly rate, although high, is well worth it. I recommend staying at this hotel anytime of year!

I stayed her before, ten years ago, and I'm pleased to say that this stay gave up no surprises whatsoever. It was very good then and its very good now. The rooms are presented nicely, the staff helpful and enthusiastic, and the breakfasts- all prepared to order so not a fast food experience. Limited parking , but street parking didn't seem too difficult and its an easy short walk to stores and restaurants . We didn't find it noisy at all. The place has a real atmosphere . I wouldn't look elsewhere in Aspen.
