The Sky Residences at W Aspen

Recently visited this property for a quick weekend getaway! Having stayed at 3 properties in Aspen, this is the most “fun” one. Of particular note, the front desk agent, Mitsi (spelling?) did a phenomenal job welcoming us to the property and creating a fun atmosphere. She is exactly the type of employee that I would expect from the W brand, fun, welcoming, and outgoing. She is a great asset to the brand and she made our stay memorable. The property was clean, beautifully designed, and conveniently located. One thing to note, there IS sunscreen at the bar on the rooftop, I should have used it. Overall, I would return to the W Aspen as it is a welcome departure from some of the ‘traditional, luxury properties.

I would like to say that Aspen still with me I would like to thank you Diego the concierge manager who made the possible and the impossible to make my trip the best trip I have ever had in my life! Also the kitchen crew they were very nice and made me few there was home.

I took my daughter here after her high school graduation. We had the best experience EVER! Everyone was kind and friendly, our room was beautiful and clean, the food was delicious, the rooftop was stunning and also had a morning yoga class, the gym was beautiful and had everything I needed, and Diego made our stay personal and special from the moment we arrived. I honestly cannot think of anything that wasn't top notch about staying here. Highly recommend to all and will definitely return to this location again!!!!

Rooms are small, but but nicely appointed, with plenty of closet space. The location couldn’t be better, a short walk to the Ajax base, and nice common areas (though the roof /pool hot tub was a disappointment ), valet park wing was quite convenient and while interaction with the staff was limited, they were all helpful.

This hotel tries to be hip and modern at the expense of practicality. Our room was a 2 bed queen with the beds configured in a bunk bed type arrangement. The TV was on a pole at the end of one of the beds. This arrangement put one person next to the wall, and when they needed out of bed, they had to crawl over the other person. Anyone with claustrophobia would be very stressed in this situation. I’m sure the poor housekeeping staff hates this arrangement. The lights in the room, again while trying to be cutting edge, were not user friendly. The lounge/restaurant area was nice, but apparently they couldn’t decide if it should be a club or a restaurant/bar. There was a dj that arrived around 5:00 p.m. and began playing very, very loud music until maybe 7:00-8:00. There is not a dance floor. This was very confusing and not a relaxing, comfortable vibe at all. Why wasn’t the dj there at 10:00 p.m. rather than late afternoon? The hot tub/pool area is on the roof and nice very. The workout facility was also very nice. The staff was also nice and friendly. All in all I would not recommend this property. If you are looking for a nice, relaxing stay, this is not your place.

I have stayed at many W hotels and they never seem to disappoint, for sure they delivered at the W in Aspen. The hotel offers completely rides to/from the airport and throughout town in a few nice BMW X5’s. We never had to wait long for a ride anywhere. The hotel was over sold and we tried to get an upgrade with no luck and we’re concerned about the roll from a few other reviews. They were wrong, we had the room with 2 queens and one was elevated. This set up made the roll feel more spacious. The room itself had modern decor, plenty of storage in the closets and the signature heavenly W beds. There is a nice Lavazza coffee machine in the closet and they have a small refrigerator if you need it. Some reviews complained of lack of space, I was traveling with a friend and we had plenty of room for all of our stuff. They have a DJ every afternoon in the bar on the second floor. This place was not busy during the week, it seems like only on Fridays and Saturday’s, but on those days it was a good crowd for Apres ski. We did eat here and the burger and Mahi was solid. They also have a good breakfast. On the roof they have a good sized hot tub and heated pool. There is a heated towel cabinet but no where to really put your stuff so you have to run from the bar where you dropped your stuff to the tub. The tub faces the mountains and you get a great view on a clear night. The bar is closed in the winter but I would suspect it’s a cool spot in the warmer months. The location is also great. If your skiing Ajax there is a small path you can take and walk right to the gondola. Across the street there is a market and pharmacy, you can also walk just about anywhere from here. The W delivers in all the right places! Next time I’m in Aspen I will be returning
