The moment we walked into this hotel, we were greeted with warm welcomes and friendly employees. The views are great and so is the food ie breakfast buffet. There’s a nice pool and not one but TWO hot tubs. More about breakfast is that they have your classic buffet style with lots of options such as bacon and eggs for protein and fresh fruit and also pastries that were great. It’s not huge but it definitely hits the spot, especially with the warm fireplace in the background. There’s also a kids club with two Macs and an Xbox, and also retro video games. The employees were also great like the ones running the bike rental area , super nice and very professional. Please give them (and everybody at this hotel) a raise! Rooms are very luxurious and very spacious and bathrooms are awesome! Great hotel all in all

We had such a great experience at Limelight Aspen! The room was spotless, modern, and super spacious which made our stay really comfortable. The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming from check-in to check-out. What really stood out was their customer service — while moving our stuff in, we accidentally dropped a bottle of liquor in the lobby and it shattered everywhere. The staff immediately helped clean it up, never made us feel embarrassed or uncomfortable about it, and less than an hour later they surprised us by bringing the same bottle up to our room as a gift. Such a thoughtful gesture that honestly went above and beyond. Great location, amazing staff, and overall just a really relaxing place to stay in Aspen.

My experience at Limelight Hotel was nothing short of exceptional, and it truly comes down to the incredible people who work there. The front desk team, Juliet, Elliot, and Euan are beyond amazing! They didn’t just do their jobs; they genuinely cared. On my first day, I wasn’t feeling well, and they went completely above and beyond to make sure I was okay bringing me toast and electrolytes without me even asking. That level of thoughtfulness and kindness is so rare, and it meant more than I can put into words. They made sure every detail of my stay was perfect and truly treated me like family. The drivers: Ben, Tom, and Johnny were equally wonderful. Every ride was effortless, enjoyable, and filled with warm smiles and great energy. They always greeted you with a joke or a kind word, making every trip feel easy and seamless. It’s the people here that make this hotel so special. Their genuine care, positivity, and dedication to guests create an experience that you simply don’t forget. I am so grateful and can’t wait to come back.
