Every room features a balcony or patio, cable TV and free internet access. Two on-site restaurants, heated outdoor pool, hot tub and ski-to-door access. With a tradition going all the way back to 1950, it’s hardly surprising to find that the Aspen Steakhouse has become something of a landmark in its own right. Its location on the corner of Main Street and Hunter Street places it right in the heart of Aspen’s Old Town, and makes it a favorite for visitors who want to watch the world go by from their tables overlooking the market square. Thanks to its exquisite food, perfectly trained staff, elegance and timeless charm, the Aspen Steakhouse was named the best meat restaurant in Aspen by the prestigious Michelin Red Guide.
