You’d be forgiven for thinking Bauhaus-inspired boutique hotel Mollie Aspen is for ski sojourns only. Yes, it’s in peak-framed Aspen and the hotel’s electric shuttle can zip you to the slopes in minutes, but this design-forward lodge caters to all tastes and seasons. Japandi interiors are as soothing as a Naturopathica treatment or dip in the rooftop spa pool; a convivial café and tempting restaurant are your hygge-nodding hangouts. And its debonair bedrooms and fire-warmed lounges might even convert adrenaline junkies into homebodies…

Our favourite rooms

Mollie Aspen’s bedrooms deftly pair Scandi-style interiors with touches of Japanese minimalism. The wooden, geometric ceilings reference Alpine chalets and Bauhaus design, as does custom artwork from textile artist Rachel Snack. Soak up Paepcke Park panoramas from the huge picture windows in a Park View Corner King room, and soak in its freestanding, view-blessed bath tub. Flirt with Ajax — the nickname for the local ski hill — vistas in an Aspen Mountain Terrace King, which has a sun-dappled furnished terrace.

Poolside

On the hotel’s summit, you’ll find a peak-surveying rooftop terrace, where post-piste respite is sought in the heated plunge pool or on one of the soporific sunloungers. You can eye up Aspen Mountain from the bubbling water and plan your next day’s runs while you’re at it.

Spa

The Nautropathica spa suite soothes adventure-fatigued muscles with a host of botanical treatments, such as an après ski facial or massages, which restores with calendula, manuka honey and arnica. On Friday afternoons from mid-December to the end of March, drop by the spa for a free five-minute hand or shoulder massage.

Packing tips

Your ski thermals can double up as leggings for yoga. A sociable spirit will also come in handy for live-music evenings and cordial weekend brunches.

Also

If you haven’t expended enough energy slaloming down slopes, pop down to the hotel’s gym, which has Peloton kit. On the roof terrace in summer, you can stretch out with a Saturday morning yoga class.

Pet‐friendly

One pooch is welcome to stay in any room, except Snug ones, for $50 a night (if you’re staying longer than three nights, the fee is capped at $150). See more pet-friendly hotels in Aspen.

Children

Welcome. The Cozy and Aspen Mountain Connecting Rooms are best for bigger clans, plus the hotel can supply free pack ’n’ plays on request.

Sustainability efforts

This sustainably minded ski lodge eschews all plastic in favour of recyclable or compostable materials; reduces its carbon footprint with Rivian electric-vehicle shuttles, and will gift you a reusable water bottle which you can refill at water stations dotted around the hotel.

Food and Drink

Top Table

Slide into one of the restaurant’s cocoa-coloured banquettes, or bag a terrace table by the fire pit.

Dress Code

Low-key après ski — you’ll look the part in J Crew cable knits, Bobbies shearling boots and Sweaty Betty base layers.

Hotel restaurant

The restaurant’s aesthetic may look familiar: the symmetrical ceiling pays homage to Bauhaus design; wooden furnishings bring a touch of Alpine flair, and soft hues nod to Scandi style. Chef Jordan Hayes’ seasonal creations, however, put a Mediterranean twist on mountainside classics: zucca fritta with sage whipped ricotta, chicken milanese with lemon-caper butter and homemade wurst with beer mustard. The showstopper, though, is the smashed Mollie burger, which comes laden with all the toppings. Come morning, follow the scent of freshly baked pastries to the open-plan café, where specialty Sightglass coffees, breakfast bagels and burritos, and light lunches draw in locals and visitors alike (you can relish the same day-starting offerings in the restaurant, too).

Hotel bar

Sinking into one of the velvet, earthy-hued sofas in the bar encourages a similar sigh of relief as unstrapping your ski boots. An amber-hued Mollie’s Toddy or bourbon-spiked Summit Sour will match your warm-toned surroundings, or take a hotel-signature Sun Dog (a piquant mix of tequila, green chili vodka, chamomile and pineapple) to the terrace for a fireside debrief. On weekends, local musicians soundtrack evenings with live music, and a late-night menu of freshly baked cookies and loaded fries satisfies any martini-induced munchies. We’ve also heard rumours that a rooftop speakeasy-style bar is in the works…

Last orders

The restaurant serves breakfast from 7am to 11am, lunch between 11am and 3pm, and dinner is 5pm to 9pm. The bar pours from 11am to 10pm; there’s a late-night menu on weekends from 10pm to midnight. The café is open from 7am to 3pm.

Room service

You can order dishes from the restaurant’s menu around the clock.

Aspen

United States

You’ll find mountain-facing Mollie Aspen a short walk or shuttle ride from gondolas and pistes of Aspen Mountain on Main Street, in its namesake Colorado town.

Planes

Aspen-Pitkin County Airport is a 10-minute drive away; the hotel runs a free airport shuttle service with Rivian electric cars.

Automobiles

If you’re touching down at Aspen, there’s no need to hire a set of wheels: your considerate hosts run a shuttle service between the airport, slopes and town center; you can also book a free test drive in a Rivian electric vehicle. If you’re bringing your own car, the hotel has parking with valet services for $55 a night, plus electric-vehicle charging points, but spaces are limited.

Worth getting out of bed for

We’ll hedge our bets that if you’re staying at Mollie Aspen, you’re probably a bit of a ski fanatic. If so, you’re in the right place: hone your technique on Buttermilk Mountain’s bunny slopes; carve down the Aspen Highlands, or take on Snowmass’ moguls and hair-raising inclines — ski lifts at Aspen Mountain are a shuffle or free shuttle away. In summer, swap Aspen’s snow-capped peaks for picturesque hikes to lakes or hot springs (we like the American Lake or Conundrum trails).

And if you’re here for the scenery rather than the ski runs, Aspen impresses in all seasons (as does Mollie): montane views wrap the rooftop terrace and spa pool; there’s Saturday morning yoga followed by a lively brunch in the café, and live music sets at weekends dot the calendar. Book an electric Rivian car for a test drive, and set your sights on the long-standing Snowmass Rodeo, the scenic Independence Pass, or the otherworldly Grottos.

Local restaurants

Chef Nobu Matsuhisa — yes, that Nobu — brings his tasting menus, fusion Japanese flavours and legendary black cod to Matsuhisa, a refined sushi restaurant with a laidback ambience. It’s tempting to pull an all-nighter at Clark’s Oyster Bar: aperitifs of stirred-to-perfection martinis roll into dinners of oyster-crowned seafood platters, before concluding with heady nightcaps and decadent desserts. A stalwart of Aspen’s culinary scene, bistro Cache Cache whips up locally sourced ingredients into vibrant, French-leaning dishes. 

Local cafés

At Spring Cafe, organic coffee, plant-based breakfasts and fresh juices will put a spring in your step. Get your pre-slope caffeine fix at Unravel Coffee + Bar, where brews get a seasonal spin — we’re eyeing the iced lavender matcha or maple latte.

Local bars

The name is a bit of a giveaway, but at farm-shop-slash-bar Meat & Cheese, craft ales and fine wines pair well with all things cheese and charcuterie. Stranahan’s Whiskey Lodge is a cosy watering hole for après ski, teaming alpine interiors with cockles-warming cocktails and hearty snacks.

Anonymous review

By Mr & Mrs Smith

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this sleek, Scandi hotel in Aspen and unpacked their designer ski pants and cozy wool sweaters, a full account of their mountainside break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Mollie Aspen in Colorado…

Mollie Aspen is named after Mollie Gibson, the 19th-century silver mine that catalysed the community’s social and cultural growth. Flash-forward to today, and Aspen is definitely thriving: it’s a launchpad to the great outdoors — all-abilities slopes and hiking trails contour its four mountains, depending on the season — and a clutch of art galleries and creatives call it home. 

Taking artistic inspiration from its namesake town, Mollie Aspen is a considered curation of varying designs, eras and cultures. Brooklyn-based Post Company has infused the interiors with a Scandi-Japanese aesthetic, bringing in vintage furnishings, such as Roger Capron coffee tables. Grid-like wooden ceilings and rugs reference the Bauhaus movement — one that has close ties to Aspen thanks to the work of Herbert Bayer; and American textile artist Rachel Snack has handwoven bespoke pieces that adorn the lobby and bedroom walls.

Though you could use Mollie as a basecamp for alfresco adventures, its design credentials — and frills to match — encourage lingering a little longer...
