The Aspen Meadows Resort will debut 98 new guest rooms over the winter as part of a multimillion-dollar refresh of the property. The extensive renovation will pay homage to the resort’s Bauhaus roots and its designer, Herbert Bayer, while also upgrading the rooms with modern amenities and skier-friendly design (think benches for putting on boots with storage underneath, as well as wet bars and new technology throughout). The resort, tucked away on 40 acres in the West End, is now under the management of Salamander Hotels & Resorts, which will debut a host of exciting property-wide improvements over the next year.
