Aspen’s downtown is the heartbeat of the resort, with world-class shopping, an impressive culinary scene, dynamic culture and lively nightlife. It’s the perfect combination of small-town charm, enthralling culture and the features of a cosmopolitan city. 

Anchored by the 5-star hotels of The Little Nell, St. Regis and Hotel Jerome, Aspen’s Core is for those who enjoy strolling a block or two on cobblestone streets for a morning cappuccino paired with The New York Times, or enjoying spectacular shopping in designer boutiques.  It’s easy to walk a few blocks to access the ski slopes Aspen Mountain for a few runs before après-ski and dinner at numerous gourmet restaurants, offering French, Classic American, Japanese, Latin and Italian flavors.

There are limitless choices for outdoor adventures — from skiing and snowboarding during the winter to hiking, biking and fly-fishing in the summertime, Aspen is known as summer camp for adults.

Luxury penthouses and condos, with some single-family homes, duplexes or townhomes tucked in, dominate the residential options in Aspen’s Core.
