HOW TO CELEBRATE A BACHELORETTE PARTY IN ASPEN?

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO GET TO ASPEN, COLORADO?

Here are 5 ways that visitors can get to Aspen. You can fly commercial into Aspen directly, fly to Denver (or Vail or Grand Junction), or take a private jet straight to Aspen.

1. FLIGHTS TO ASPEN

The Aspen-Pitkin County Airport is small, but it gets a lot of traffic. Depending on where your bridal party is coming from, you may be able to get a direct flight to Aspen. If not, Denver International Airport is a major hub for all airlines. It is very easy to get a direct flight from your state to DIA. There are normally about 8 flights a day from DIA to the Aspen airport. It is a quick jump from the mile high city to your bachelorette destination. 

The biggest benefit of flying into ASE is the close proximity to town. The airport is about 15 minutes away from the heart of Aspen. Most hotels offer shuttle services to and from the airport. Your concierge can also arrange for a party bus, limo, or luxury sedan to transport your party from the airport.

2. FLY TO DENVER, DRIVE TO ASPEN

Who doesn’t love the scenic route? Due to winter weather, it is not always possible for visitors to fly directly into Aspen. In some cases, flights from Denver to Aspen get canceled due to the snow. Visitors sometimes have to take a shuttle, a private car service, or rent a car to get from Denver to Aspen. The drive normally takes about 4 hours, depending on the weather. Although long, this drive can be very enjoyable. You will love the scenic views of the mountains and get a real taste for Colorado. There are also many mom and pop restaurants, candy shops, and novelty stores on the way. You may accidentally stumble on the best fudge you’ve ever had in your life!

This option is ideal for bridal parties that want the road trip experience. However, the distance from DIA to Aspen is 200 miles. If you don’t want to drive, your concierge can arrange group transportation.

3. FLY TO VAIL, DRIVE TO ASPEN

In the winter months, some find it easier to fly directly into Vail. Vail is closer to Aspen than Denver; however, finding a rental car is a little more difficult. You have to travel to Avon or Edwards first as there are no car rental locations in Vail.

If landing in Vail first, have your concierge arrange a private Aspen airport car service. This will be the most convenient and reliable way to get to Aspen from Vail.

4. FLY TO GRAND JUNCTION, DRIVE TO ASPEN

Whether flying private or commercial, getting to Aspen by way of Grand Junction is a great option. Grand Junction is closer to Aspen than Denver but a little farther away than Vail.

Your expert concierge will know that you will likely need a car service to get you from the airport to Aspen. Lean on your concierge to determine the best luxury car service that will allow your wedding party to enjoy themselves all the way to your destination.

5. FLY PRIVATE INTO ASPEN

The final way to get to Aspen is on a private jet. This option is very popular for bridal parties that want to get the party started even before they arrive in Aspen. Flying private is a great way to skip the stress of traveling, while enjoying quality time with your closest friends. 

When traveling via private jet, due to weather you most often come by way of Rifle Garfield County Airport which is 65.6 miles from Aspen. In the even of poor weather, you could be sent through Grand Junction Regional Airport which is 130 miles from Aspen or Eagle which is 70 miles from Aspen.

WHERE TO STAY FOR A BACHELORETTE IN ASPEN

Your accommodations can make or break your bachelorette party. It is important that all the ladies stay close, but that everyone has space to unwind. The ideal pre-game pad should be close to the action but allow your whole squad to relax and unwind.

The good thing about Aspen, Colorado bachelorette parties is that there are so many options. When you party in Aspen, you can either rent a vacation house for the bachelorette party or reserve hotel rooms for your group.

The hotel lobby features elegant gold decorations, creating a luxurious atmosphere for guests.

BEST HOTELS FOR BACHELORETTE PARTIES IN ASPEN

THE W

W Aspen and The Sky Residences are located at the base of Aspen Mountain. Both the hotel and the residences are conveniently located just minutes from the best slopes in Aspen. If you head into town the other direction, you’ll hit luxury shopping experiences, art galleries, and restaurants. The W also has several lounge areas to eat, drink, and party, both indoors and on the roof.

THE LITTLE NELL

The Little Nell is a 5-star, 5-diamond luxury resort. It has 2 different restaurants and 3 different bars within the building. What makes The Little Nell perfect for bachelorette parties is its 5-star service, vibrant guests and ski-in, ski-out access. For fun in the sun, you can take a dip in the pool, or chat with mimosas in the hot tub. The Little Nell is the place to come if you want to relax and unwind with your closest friends. 

The Residences are also part of The Little Nell. They are luxury private condos that combine the services of a 5-star hotel with the privacy of a vacation home.

HOTEL JEROME

Hotel Jerome has been the center of Aspen since 1889. If you want to feel like a queen for a day, Jerome is the place to do it. In addition to the dining experiences and spa, Hotel Jerome also offers unique seasonal experiences to guests. Depending on the time of year, you may get to enjoy curated shopping, private yoga classes, exclusive apres ski parties, or cocktails and curling in The Garden.

ST. REGIS

For a quintessential spa experience, reserve your room at the St. Regis. Remede is the best and only true spa in Aspen. St. Regis is known for its year round outdoor heated room and spa services.

SHOULD I BOOK A HOTEL OR A VACATION RENTAL FOR A BACHELORETTE PARTY?

Aspen bachelorette parties can be held at either a hotel or a vacation rental. Both would make great accommodations, but it depends on the needs of your group.

Hotels offer several benefits specific to bachelorette parties. ALC can book multiple nearby rooms for your bridal party; potential discounts may be available if you book 10+ rooms. Hotels also have amenities like valet, bars, restaurants, in-room dining, and spas on site. However, hotels are not always the best place to pregame or to bring the party back to. With hotel rooms, your party won’t have a large, central location to hang out together.

Vacation rentals are increasingly popular choices for bachelor and bachelorette parties. It is easy to keep the party going when everyone is sharing a house. However, vacation rentals are usually farther from the center of town than hotels. For bachelorette groups that want to fly in for a weekend, there may be a challenge finding rentals that will accommodate as there is usually a 5-7 night minimum. For shorter stays, hotels may be the better option, as they accommodate 3-4 nights. If you find that a rental works well for you and your party, contact Aspen Luxury Concierge to arrange luxury transportation as it’s a must when staying outside of town.

WHAT ARE THE BEST RESTAURANTS FOR AN ASPEN BACHELORETTE PARTY?

Aspen has no shortage of amazing restaurants. A good bachelorette restaurant should have a private party room, great drinks, and good food. If you and your girlfriends can’t decide where to eat, try one of these uniquely Aspen restaurants:

Campo de Fiori is Italian food with a view, located in the heart of Aspen. The private community room can seat up to 30 guests. The wine list is extensive and all ingredients are locally sourced. The atmosphere is best described as lively. 

Betula serves French-American cuisine with a homey touch. Upon special request and with a healthy budget, you can reserve a separate room for your party. For the main dining room, parties of 11+ must make a special reservation – this can be handled by your concierge.

Catch is a steakhouse that emphasizes quality ingredients. If there are vegetarians in your bridal party, don’t worry. Catch also has a range of non-meat options, as well as seafood dishes. The dress code is smart mountain casual. 

Matsuhisa and Madame Ushi are Japanese and Asian fusion restaurants that will satisfy any sushi lover. Madame Ushi is a relatively new addition to the Aspen scene. Your bridal party will love being some of the first to experience Madame Ushi’s unique twist on Japanese cuisine.

ASPEN BACHELORETTE: THE BEST PLACES TO PARTY

Everyone knows that bachelorette parties are about 2 things: partying and being with your best friends. Aspen has no shortage of clubs, making it the perfect place for a destination bachelorette party. 

APRÉS SKI AT SNOW LODGE

In Aspen, you don’t have to wait for the sun to go down to get the party started. There are aprés ski events all over Aspen all winter. The best aprés ski party is at Snow Lodge. The party zone is out on the courtyard where there is a DJ, live performers, signature cocktails, and delicious finger food. It can be a little chilly on the deck sometimes. ALC recommends layering up in your cutest winter fashion to stay warm. 

SKI TO CLOUD 9

At Cloud 9, ski-in and ski-out for one of the wildest parties in Aspen, located at 11,000 feet. At Cloud 9, it’s common to see party goers in varying degrees of undress. This is because champagne gets sprayed everywhere. It is like a scene from The Great Gatsby. In addition to the music, dancing, and champaign, Cloud 9 serves cheesy carb-filled European dishes. 

THE STERLING

The Sterling is a classic nightclub where you and your girls can party the night away. The vibe is high-end decadence, completely with top-shelf liquor and velvet booths. Complete with a house DJ, The Sterling is the quintessential bachelorette party venue. 

ESCOBAR

Escobar is another popular nightclub for Aspen bachelorette parties. Can you guess the namesake? Designed to feel like you’re inside of an airplane and defying gravity with stripper poles on location, this is where to go when you want to party the night away. Tables and space in the VIP area must be reserved ahead of time. Your concierge can make all the preparations to ensure that you have a great bachelor party!

5 UNIQUE BACHELORETTE PARTY IDEAS IN ASPEN, COLORADO

If clubbing isn’t really your thing, there are plenty of other ways to celebrate in Aspen. The Aspen Luxury Concierge team recommends:

1. UNLEASHING YOUR INNER COWGIRL AT KEMO SABE

It is cowgirl couture season! A night out on the town in matching cowboy hats is the hottest bachelorette party trend. But, of course, you don’t want your bachelorette party to be stereotypical or standard, do you? There is a way to take this cowgirl trend to a whole new level: Kemo Sabe. 

Kemo Sabe is a luxury western wear store that offers high-end, authentic cowboy hats, belt buckles, and jewelry. Your bridal party will have a blast shopping and wearing their new hats around town for the weekend. Your concierge can arrange for you to have private access to Kemo Sabe’s vintage bar to sip while you shop.

2. PRIVATE WINE TASTING

If you want a quieter, more contained bachelorette party, try experiencing a private wine tasting. It gives you the chance to enjoy quality time with your girls. Everyone gets to partake in high-quality wine without being hungover the next day. Ask your concierge about setting up food and wine pairings. Adding a private chef to the mix will elevate the experience. Oftentimes, these events are hosted in a park or in the comfort of a private residence.

3. LUNCH AT PINE CREEK COOKHOUSE

Like Cloud 9, this is a dining adventure complete with a ski trip. If your bachelorette party includes avid cross country skiers, this is the perfect way to celebrate the upcoming wedding. For anyone who doesn’t enjoy skiing, there is also a horse drawn sleigh that takes visitors to their destination. You can also rent snowshoes to get to PCC. Pine Creek Cookhouse is located at the base of the Elk Mountain range. The menu consists of gourmet Alpine cuisine with all ingredients sourced from local Colorado farms.

HOT TIP: The dress code is mountain chic. Dress up in your vintage ski gear and head over to PCC for lunch!

4. EXPERIENCE ASPEN WITH YOUR BRIDESMAIDS

Aspen is so much more than skiing, food, and drink – although those are some of the best parts of Aspen. Our little mountain town also has a vibrant cultural scene and excellent shopping. Spend a day unwinding by visiting the Aspen art museum with your girls. Or go shopping together for matching accessories. Aspen has a wide range of shops, from luxury brands to quirky boutiques; there is something for everyone.

1. BETULA

Betula is a chic, cozy, little restaurant in the heart of Aspen. It has a certain je ne sais quoi that makes you feel as if that table is where you were always meant to be. Although Betula is a popular bachelorette destination, ALC also recommends it as a classy place to take your future in-laws.

The chef behind Betula is Laurent Cantineaux, a prodigy of chef Daniel Boulud. Cantineaux draws inspiration from classic French cuisine, South American flavors, and Caribbean favorites. In addition to its haute cuisine, Betula has exceptional cocktails with flavor profiles for every palette. A current Betula favorite is the herbal and fresh Pachamama, made with huacatay and quinoa-infused Barsol Quebranta pisco, fresh yuzu juice, egg whites, and orgeat.

2. CAMPO DI FIOROI

Campo Di Fioroi is warm, lively, and rustic with a touch of romance. Anyone who skis or summers in Aspen will know all about Campo’s earthy Italian cuisine. After one meal at Campo, you will find yourself chatting with the owner and staff like the oldest and dearest of friends. The inside of Campo mirrors the golden glow of dawn in Tuscany and brings that Italian hospitality to the Colorado mountains

Although the Northern Italian cuisine is a real treat, even for the most well-traveled of visitors, the real attraction of Campo is the bar. Campo has an unmatched collection of Italian and local wines. Officially, they are known for their bar parties and their espresso martinis. Unofficially, Campo is known among the local ladies for having very cute men on the waitstaff. 

3. KENICHI

If Betula is fine dining and Campo Di Fioroi is a fun, casual munch, then Kenichi splits the difference. Not only does Kenichi have world-class sushi, it also has a party-like ambiance. ALC recommends Kenichi for bachelor and bachelorette parties because it has private booths. You can also book the exclusive Tatami Room for all your intimate pre-wedding events.

If you are a laid back bride, you will really enjoy Kenichi. You can grab a bite with the girls after après at the Aspen Art Museum. If you want to pregame a night on the town, Kenichi also has an extensive liquor list. In addition to the classics, you can try drinks from around the world, including sake, Japanese whiskey, Mexican tequila, French wine, and local beers.

4. MONARCH STEAKHOUSE

While Monarch is suitable for both bachelor and bachelorette parties, it is a favorite among grooms and their groomsmen.
