The Limelight Hotel Aspen maintains a heated outdoor pool with two hot tubs and fire pit areas for outdoor gatherings. Each morning starts with a complimentary breakfast offering pastries, yogurt, granola, rotating hot items like steel-cut oatmeal, and made-to-order eggs. Guests receive complimentary cruiser and fat bikes for city exploration, plus exclusive ski lessons with Ted Mahon, a veteran Aspen Snowmass instructor. The property provides a shuttle service from Aspen/Pitkin Sardy Field Airport, and sits one block from the transportation center connecting to Highlands, Buttermilk, and Snowmass ski areas.
