Edwina's Favourite Aspen Après Ski: Part 2

by Katie

In Part 1, Edwina shared some favorite places in Aspen after a day's skiing. Here in Part 2 are some more favourites to add to the list!

Lobby Bar at the St Regis
An enormous roaring fire, complimentary hor dóeuvres on Sunday evenings and live music make this comfortable, sophisticated start, or end for that matter, to the evening. You may even spot one of St Regis' many celebrity guests - or at least smell their cigars as we did...

Ellina at 430 E. Hyman Ave
A cosy, basement level restaurant with rustic stone walls and delicious Italian fare. Excellent service and seriously good food.

Remede Spa at the St Regis
This must be what it feels like to have all your Christmas' come at once...indulgent just doesn't begin to describe how special this spa is. From Eucalypt-infused steam rooms, to cool pools with waterfalls, amazing treatments and an oxygen lounge with cloud-like beds (to aid with the altitude, or just bliss you out) - this is a VERY special place.

Victoria's Espresso & Wine Bar at 312 S. Mill St.
Nothing like the coffee making skills of an Aussie!! This place is run by an Australian and is the place to grab a morning coffee or breakfast on the way to the slopes, or indeed a beverage at the other end of the day. Terrific also for nice sandwiches, salads and snacks without all the fries loaded on the side.

Edwina's Favourite Aspen Après Ski: Part 1

by Katie

Edwina, who works with us in the product department here at Travelplan Ski, has given us her tips on her favorite bars and restaurants in Aspen so that you can make the most of your Aspen off mountain experiences!

Edwina and friend at Cloud Nine

39 Degrees at the Sky Hotel
Locally known as the Sky Bar, this bar starts hopping early and is a popular meeting spot every night of the week. A great place to start the evening prior to heading on into the Aspen night. Great bar food and a lovely big fireplace for warming up.

Nell's Bar at the Little Nell Hotel
A cosy, busy bar catering to slightly older (but young at heart) crowd - rates 5 stars in the people watching stakes. Take a seat and observe the fascinating face (often "lifted") of the slightly older party crowd of Aspen. Age is no barrier to fun here!

Matsuhisa at 303 E Main St
Outstanding Japanese food with each plate presented like and art work. The sushi does not get any fresher - a unique and delicious menu.

Cloud Nine on Aspen Highlands
Ski into Cloud Nine for a special treat. There are not many places in the world where the view can almost take your appetite away, but this is one of them. Relaxing on the sundeck, glass of wine in hand, with the Maroon Bells in the distance, it doesn't get must better than this. A must for every Aspen visitor!
