This downtown hotel was built in 1889 by Jerome B. Wheeler, co-owner of Macy’s Department Store, and was one of the first buildings west of the Mississippi River to be fully lit by electricity. The bou-­ tique-style rooms here are magnificent, reflecting the hotel’s Victorian heritage with carved armoires and beautiful beds. The service is superb: the ski concierge will take care of your every need, and guests are driven to the slopes in luxury SUVs. You also get access to the Aspen Club and Spa, a 77,000-square-foot exer-­ cise facility and spa. The dashing J Bar is still one of the hottest places in town.
