Stonehill Taylor partnered with Limelight Hotels to renovate the brand’s flagship property in the heart of downtown Aspen. The approximately 100,000square-foot project encompasses all public spaces, including the lobby, lounge, meeting rooms, pool and fitness areas, and the restaurant and bar, in addition to the 120 guest rooms and six suites. The design is a tribute to Aspen’s legacy as a place of innovation with reference to the discovery of silver and the subsequent invention of ski transportation that made silver mining the city’s main industry, putting Aspen on the map. The design also nods to the area’s natural surroundings, notably the “Silver Queen,” the appearance of a reclining woman’s profile on the Aspen mountain peak. The interiors have an industrial and modern yet playful spirit, reminiscent of an upscale chalet. The artful treatment of natural materials coupled with metallics and pops of bright color firmly grounds the resort in a contemporary aesthetic and reflects the dynamism of the mountain lifestyle.
