Hotels Own Introduction
A New Expression of Aspen Luxury
Set high in the Rocky Mountains, White Elephant Aspen brings a fresh take on alpine luxury to one of America’s most celebrated mountain towns. The brand-new boutique hotel combines the rugged character of Aspen with refined contemporary design, creating a sophisticated retreat that feels both distinctly alpine and effortlessly modern.
Rooms with Residential Comfort
The rooms and suites are designed with the feeling of an elegant private residence, pairing curated artwork with luxurious linens, rich textures and thoughtful details. Warm, contemporary interiors create intimate spaces to retreat to after a day in the mountains, balancing polished style with the comfort of home.
Dining at Lola 41
The hotel’s signature restaurant, Lola 41, brings together an elegant dining room and bar with an expansive shaded pavilion. The seamless transition between refined interiors, outdoor dining and the relaxed poolside lounge creates a setting that works equally well for a leisurely meal, afternoon drinks or an evening gathering.
Aspen in Summer
When the snow melts, Aspen becomes an expansive outdoor playground. Scenic hiking and mountain biking trails lead into the surrounding wilderness, while gondola rides reveal spectacular mountain panoramas. For a more adventurous perspective, zip lines and ropes courses add an exhilarating edge to days spent exploring the Rockies.
Winter in the Rockies
Winter transforms Aspen into one of North America’s legendary mountain destinations. World-class skiing and snowboarding take centre stage, complemented by quieter pursuits such as snowshoeing and more adrenaline-fuelled adventures including snowmobiling. Back in town, the celebrated après-ski scene provides the perfect excuse to linger into the evening.
The Aspen Spirit
With its combination of contemporary mountain design, residential-style accommodation, Lola 41 and an enviable position in the heart of Aspen, White Elephant offers a polished new base for experiencing the Rockies. From powder days and alpine adventures to sophisticated dining and après-ski, it captures the town’s distinctive blend of outdoor energy and effortless style.
