If you are planning to travel any time soon it would be worth your while to look into visiting Colorado and staying at any one of many fine Aspen hotels. Perhaps you are getting away from home for awhile or perhaps you are heading out with a group of business associates, it doesn’t matter, Aspen is place you just have to visit!
Think about it! From one of the Aspen hotels tucked up in the mountains you can head out on a hiking excursion in the morning, come back for lunch and a change of clothes and go golfing in the afternoon. After that you can find some fine dining and sit out on the patio and watch the sun dip behind the mountains, or of course, go skiing. There aren’t many places you can do all that without even having to drive anywhere.
Or maybe outdoor sports aren’t your thing. Booking Aspen hotels also avails you of unique shopping and entertainment opportunities. Spend the day looking through quaint shops for the most interesting gifts and searching the coffee shops for the perfect moccha. Visit in the winter and there is a good chance you can take in some of the HBO Comedy Festival, held in Aspen every year. Not many people would pass up the opportunity to have a good laugh.
Laughter is something Aspen has become somewhat famous for, and the Comedy festival isn’t the only reason. In 1994 the movie “Dumb and Dumber” brought Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels to the area playing Harry and Floyd, two wandering souls from Rhode Island who set out for Aspen Colorado to find the girl of their dreams. Stumbling across a briefcase of cash, Harry and Floyd decided to live it up and made Aspen hotels a key part of their misadventures. Don’t worry, you can be fairly sure things have been cleaned up since they left!
Of course, these aren’t the only stars who have been known to frequent the Aspen area. Actors and actresses such as Jack Nicholson, Kevin Costner and Goldie Hawn, to name a few, have all taken up residence in this mountain town. Star-gazing could be considered another one of the activities on your itinerary.
Whatever you decide to do in Aspen you’ll enjoy the fact that it has all the amenities of home but its rugged surroundings remind you that you are anywhere but! Named for the trees which are so prevalent in the area, Aspen is a place where you can enjoy golfing, skiing, snowboarding, kayaking, hiking, shopping, fine dining, mountain biking, and even Alpine touring. Aspen hotels put all these opportunities right out your front door.
So next time you are planning for your next trip and you think a stop in Colorado might be on the horizon, be sure to remember that Aspen hotels may be just the thing.
