The only published dog menu in town, right at the gondola

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
A 5-star ski-in ski-out hotel sitting directly at the foot of the Silver Queen Gondola, owned by Aspen Skiing Company and part of Relais and Chateaux. Rooms are large and wood-lined, the service is first-name, and the two restaurants, Element 47 and Ajax Tavern, are Aspen institutions in their own right. It suits people who want to walk out of the lift queue and into their room. Dogs get bowls and a bed set up before arrival and a menu that runs to wagyu beef.

Why it's in the collection

You step out at the base of the Silver Queen Gondola, which dogs ride free in summer, and the Ute Trail climbs off the east end of Ute Avenue about five minutes away on foot.

Dogs are confirmed in the guest rooms and the hotel takes them on request, so agree the booking by phone. Where your dog can sit with you at Element 47 and on the Ajax Tavern terrace is worth settling at the same time.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
