Modern West

The design of this historic Aspen hotel conversion blends the charm of the property’s storied past with sophisticated, modern luxury. The owner's unit was designed to honor the original character of this iconic building, thoughtfully preserving its heritage while breathing new life into the space. The centerpiece is the restored original wood-burning lobby fireplace, which serves as both a functional element and a stunning focal point, evoking the timeless warmth of the past. The revitalization of the existing timbers compliments the careful upgrades and high-end finishes. The layout and materials capture a perfect balance between "then and now," where history meets contemporary elegance.
