The St. Regis is a year-round wellness destination for the A-list outdoor set.
Wellness is top of mind from the moment you check in at The St. Regis Aspen Resort (rooms from $349 per night, st-regis.marriott.com): Throughout the elegant, rustic-chic lobby are dispensers of chlorophyll-spiked water for maximum hydration and pH balance; Remède Spa offers CBD massages, steam caves and an oxygen lounge (a godsend for acclimating to altitude) among its world-class offerings; and the cozy dining room, Velvet Buck, features a Food as Medicine menu collab with mushroom-focused brand Four Sigmatic to introduce guests to the benefits of fungi. Of course, wellness is about balance, and this luxe haven knows how to have fun too. Each St. Regis property prepares its own spin on the bloody mary (the Downhill Red Snapper boasts basil, dill, two olives and a pickle), and guests can get a taste every morning at 11:15 in the Mountain Social bar. Every evening at 5:15, the courtyard hosts a Champagne sabering to celebrate the transition from day to evening, a beloved St. Regis tradition since 1904. The property’s biggest attraction? That might just be Kitty, the hotel’s Bernese mountain dog, a bundle of energy and a bona fide influencer (no, seriously: @kittythebernese); he’s the embodiment of the playful yet polished St. Regis Aspen philosophy.
