Having visited a number of St Regis properties worldwide, I've come to expect a high standard from both the brand and the price tag. St Regis in Aspen is the worst of the St Regis properties I've visited, without question, primarily due to the poor communication between staff and guest, as well as management of non-residents visiting the lounge and restaurants (in the naïve belief that residents should have priority when there is a waitlist). The staff we encountered were friendly and courteous, but they were overwhelmed, seemingly short-staffed, and poorly trained. This began before check-in, when we replied repeatedly to emails from "butler service" requesting information ranging from airport pick-up to dinner reservations. No replies at all, and no reservations were made, let alone confirmed, leaving us with few options when we arrived. Which makes the Butler emails nothing more valuable than spam. Upon arrival, no help in making dinner reservations - we fended for ourselves (and found some outstanding restaurants in Aspen, even for walk-ins!). At breakfast, I asked whether breakfast was included, and was told yes. Then was presented with a bill by the same person who told me it was included. My wife, my 16-yr-old son, and I were given a tour of the spa and indoor pool, then when my son and I returned to use the pool, we were told no one under 18 allowed. When I asked why, they said they didn't know, and didn't have anyone on the property who could answer that. There was a waitlist every evening in the lobby lounge, where I was told residents were not prioritized among the non-residents coming in off the street. Not even allowed to approach the bar to order a drink to take back to the room or one of the sitting areas. We were told this was because they only had one bartender (on one of the busiest weekends of the year), and he didn't want too many people approaching the bar. Then I found out later that it was possible to be prioritized as a resident, contrary to what I was told previously. Many other similar experiences during our long-weekend stay. The property itself is well appointed but starting to show its age, and the walls are paper-thin. I could easily hear (and participate in, had I chosen) casual conversations in the room next door. This is a mediocre hotel, not a luxury resort, and if you are familiar with this brand's typical standard of quality and luxury, it is likely this property will not meet that expectation.…
We visited on December 16-19 2022, for a getaway from LA weather! So excited to check in to the beautiful St Regis Aspen and experience the snow! ended getting Daniel assigned as our butler and I was so happy with how professional and helpful he was for the entirety of our stay. He truly made us want to never stay at any other hotel but the St Regis no matter where we go! Daniel recommended amazing activities such as ski and snowboarding, nightlife and yummy restaurants. If you ever visit the St Regis in Aspen ask for Daniel i promise you wont regret it! Thank you Daniel for also helping my then boyfriend plan the sweetest most unique proposal ever. Will never forget this trip where I got engaged to the love of my life. So grateful for this magical experience!
EDIT: ADJUSTED REVIEW/RATING BASED UPON OUR FINAL NIGHT OF STAY Writing this review at 1am on the second night of our 3 day getaway. Where to start? Can start first with the automated emails immediately after booking which responses were requested from myself and I gladly provided over and over (and over) asking for confirmation of receipt so they stop spamming. Finally after replying to all of the emails I was getting blasted from, the butler team kindly replied. Nothing from the named and titled associates who kept messaging. Arrival to the hotel, smooth and easy. And that’s just about where it ended. Upon arrival at 6pm, check-in part of the lobby was in chaos. Get our keys. Wait around. 10 minutes as only 1 elevator in the entire hotel is working. (And still currently working) pack in from the lobby like we are on a New York subway every trip up and down. Often waiting 5 minutes each way. (At least everyone smells nice unlike a subway!) Get to our room. Windows are WIDE OPEN (it’s -6 Celsius outside) no problem. Close the windows and adjust the thermostat. Clear as day right now, the thermostat is broken as the room was set to 72 (showed 68) and was HOT, set to 66, then 64, now 62. And room won’t cool. Only option at the moment to cool the room from heat is to have the windows open while smelling the aroma of marijuana and loud laughs and drums of some sorts playing. Day 2. 8AM. Order 2 coffees and waters from the “butler service” they rave about. They said sure thing. Be right up! 3 hours later. Nobody still came. 815AM. Housekeeping is banging on the door. Perhaps a bit odd, but we were up. Kindly ask to return between 11 and 1 when we are away from the room. Return to our room at 1, room was not made up. No problem as we were leaving again for a few hours. Kindly ask front desk to arrange room service. Another no problem! We are on it! 315 return to our room. Still not done. Forced to leave again to keep occupied while they made it up. For returning at 1pm to the hotel the car service advised call the front desk when ready for pickup. 19 calls in 16 minutes simply do not even get answered. It is at no fault to the valet/driver team. They’re the only bright spot in this entire hotel. 9pm. Return from dinner to have dessert and a drink in the lobby. Not that busy. Get seated on a nice comfy couch in the lounge. After 25 mins of no server, we are not complaining, but go to the bar to ask if they can put our food order in. Of all people the snap NO YOU MUST WAIT FOR YOUR SERVER was a gentleman who tilted himself as the manager. You sir, need to learn to either hire staff, or take a class in simple manners. DAY 3: -After reading my review, Miss Alaina, personally called me to go over all the issues at hand, and this is where the service did a complete 360. She was sweet, and attentive, personally offering remedy to all the issues at hand. -Immediately engineering came, and manually adjusted the thermostat to a fixed manageable temperature The good: -As mentioned. The drivers from airport to hotel. Amazing personable people along with the personal drivers. They’re all top notch and owning multiple businesses are exemplary representatives of what the St Regis name used to be -Alaina, their guest services manager. -One front desk attendant. Indian gentleman. Rakesh, I believe. Gracious, kind, and always smiling. Kudos to him. -Breakfast was good, dessert was also unique. S’mores with a little fire at your table. Other staff said the hotel is only running at around 75% capacity during our stay. So either this property is grossly understaffed, or lacks common hospitality training.…
We don’t leave many reviews but this place deserves one. It is rare to come back home and actually miss a hotel. Even though we had issues with our check in they more than made up for it. They were courteous, professional, attentive, sweet. Honestly, with the hiring issues present today, I don’t know where they found these employees. These people were amazing. They made our anniversary trip very special and amazing. The valet guys were awesome, the front desk went above and beyond, the butler team was amazing, and the servers were phenomenal (shout out to Eduardo). They made it feel like they were our friends by the end of the stay. We’ll be returning to the St. Regis next year. Thank you all for the amazing Aspen ski and anniversary trip.
Customer Service was phenomenal. Everyone was very attentive. Butler Daniel E was very helpful in informing me about various services and amenities that were offered. He was very patient with all my questions and general confusion lol. I would definitely recommend this hotel to my friends and family.
The hotel itself is very nice but for the price has some issues that you wouldn't expect. The room s are beautiful, there's a wonderful location, and the champagne savoring is nice. They also have a great club in the restaurant and hosted a fun concert in the afternoon. The butler service was wonderful and particularly enjoyed the service from Aman. He was very quick to help and explain the services. We had problems getting housekeeping, but they promptly came when called around 3-4pm multiple times. Also many other hotels in the area offer shuttle service to Highlands Mountain and the St. Regis does not, it would be a nice addition to their services.
This was our second year in a row staying at this hotel as we love how well it accommodates our ski vacation with close proximity to Ajax mountain, easy ski storage service at Aspen Sports across the street, 2 min walk to ski shuttle to other mountains, and great Apres vibe in the lobby bar. I would like to also commend the concierge team for helping us make dining reservations and making that part of our planning so easy. The only thing is I would say that this property is not luxury, which is quite a shame. Two reasons why: first is that they need to work on mitigating housekeeping oversights. One day we came back from a long day of skiing and our room hadn’t been cleaned. Another day my partner was working in the room all day and so finally when he left he told them to clean the room and the hotel agreed to the time he specified. When we came back the room hadn’t been cleaned once again. Second reason is that the hotel has a partnership with a lounge/club called Snow Lodge which is housed in a tent attached to the hotel. Unfortunately our room was right above the tent so we could hear loud music from our room at all hours of the day, including at night when we were going to bed. For this reason, when there were times we wanted to relax in our room, we could not, and made a point of leaving to avoid the noise. It really defeats the whole purpose of staying in a luxury hotel if you don’t want to be in your room.…
Glad we stayed at the St. Regis for our first visit to Aspen. The location, facilities, and our room lived up to our expectations. The lobby and bar had a warm and fun atmosphere so it was a great place to relax in the evening. Food service and ski valet were a bit slow so they must have been understaffed. Aman and Whit on the concierge team made our stay special by going the extra mile for us.
The St. Regis Aspen, seemingly riding on the brand's long-standing reputation, failed to meet the expectations of a basic motel for a week straight. To be clear: the service here is atrocious. This hotel lives up to Aspen's cliché "see and be seen" in the worst possible way, and if you're looking for privacy, relaxation and hospitality seek alternate accommodations. Staff were rude and completely unhelpful at the front desk, valet and both restaurants we visited on the property. Every single request, no matter how small, had to be made MULTIPLE times before any action was taken. The concierge charged us for lift tickets, rentals and dining reservations and somehow failed to actually make the reservations leaving us to put everything together for our entire family at the last second. The concierge called us, sent a receipt of the charges and confirmed everything via email WEEKS prior to check in. Not so much as an apology was offered. Our room was small and underwhelming. Housekeeping and turndown service occurred sporadically over the course of our six nights here, and we had to make multiple requests each day to get the room cleaned, fresh linens, etc. The butler service is non existent at this property, so don't bother asking for anything. In terms of the hotels "amenities", the outdoor pool is average at best, the gym is a literal dungeon with equipment that needed to be replaced (and deep cleaned) decades ago (Peloton bikes were not operational, smith machine is rusty and old), and the Spa was crowded and extremely over priced for what it was. They automatically include gratuity for themselves at the spa, so, as you can imagine, there is no incentive to offer any kind of service. There is a reason the St. Regis rates are always lower than the Little Nell, and you get exactly what you pay for here. If you're looking for incredible accommodations, unparalleled customer service and privacy, head a few doors down to the Nell and avoid this place like the plague that it is.…
Having travelled to over 160 countries staying in accommodations as varied as tents in the Arctic Tundra to Caves in Scotland to 7 star Arab resorts, I can say with impunity this is perhaps the worst luxury hotel I have ever stayed in. The hotel is quaint, luxurious, aesthetically pleasing without being gaudy with a prime location, however, quintessentially hollow. The service is abhorrent with the staff ghosts of days past, unhelpful, lost, and lacking the insight to cater to guests who pay in excess of 1500USD per night for the privilege of staying here. Perhaps this is the convergence of multiple exogenous issues facing most industries including staffing shortages, poor training, poor English skills and high turnover. The simplest requests seemed like solving a complex mathematical proof: 1) Whence we arrived the ingress was partially blocked by two vans, thus we proceeded to the ingress to make the valet aware, nothing more. We were rudely yelled at. The valet, having realized, we were guests about to check in embarrassing apologized. Nonetheless, this is an uncouth way to speak to another human being. 2) Concierge services were in an unfortunate state of affairs, unable to satisfy simple requests like a dinner reservation or a courtesy call back despite messages to do so. This unavailability seemed never to leave them. I used the app Open Table or simply visited the restaurant to ensure a reservation. I would suggest Parc, Bosq, and Matsuhisa. …
