The Aspen Alps is subperbly located and has a wonderful staff. Service is always the best

Have been going to Aspen for 7 years and always stay at the Aspen Alps. Perhaps the single best location for a condo-hotel in Aspen. Excellent customer service and well appointed units. The management team is first class. There are spacious rooms, a car service, internet, workout and spa facilities, heated pool, and tennis courts. You are steps away from the Little Nell and Skyy hotels for all the comforts of fine dining and amenities you may need. We have a blast with our 8 year old son since the Aspen Alps have some green belt spaces, and there are several nearby parks. In the winter, it is ski-in and right by the gondola, and in the summer it is in the center of town for walking to most any venue. Very family friendly for sure.

This is a terrific ski-in ski-out option adjacent to the Gondola with lots of nice amenities. Units are all very nicely furnished and appointed (at least the few we saw). Here's a few of the tradeoffs we observed:

The complex is big, and climbs the hill. Seven or eight separate buildings from street level to a few hundred vertical feet above that. You can stay up higher, and have true ski in/out, or down lower and have to walk a bit to the 'dola.

Units higher up on the hill are further from the pool/hot tub and work out center, but quieter. The SKYY hotel is very close to the lower units and apres ski is a loud affair there.

If you stay up higher, the staff is more than happy to shuttle you up and down the hill, or you can certainly walk anywhere you want to go, but the latter option might be a little bit of a challenge if there is a deep snow cover or if slippery conditions exist. If you stay in the lower units, you are right on Durant and can crawl to anywhere you may desire.

Have been going to the Alps (that's how we call it) for the past 15 years. They have by far the best location in Aspen and also a very friendly staff. Things got even better for the past couple of years with the new manager. Besides that, the units are very comfortable, and they have a great spa, with an outdoor pool and excellent exercise room. Can't get a better value for your money.
