Hotel Durant was a great find for us! Cozy, about 20 rooms, very friendly staff & ownership, on the free bus line to Snowmass, only a ten minute walk to anywhere in Aspen, a well laid out & tasty Continental breakfast & coffee, comfy friendly lounge with fireplace, lots of interesting guest mates from all over the world…in short, an inn with great lodging karma!!

Well, the rooms are a bit on the small side, but so what! And no elevator to the 3rd floor, but that didn’t bother us at all (we had offers to help with bags). These drawbacks were like nothing to us given how wonderful Hotel Durant is.

Fantastic location right in the heart of town approximately 3 blocks walking distance to the main Ajax gondola (even closer to nearest chairlift) and everything in downtown Aspen, including the free town bus to the other 3 “Aspen” ski resorts 1.5 blocks away. It has the feel of a small boutique in with extremely friendly staff, tastefully updated “mountain modern” decor, and a nice free continental breakfast too. In retrospect I’m very surprised by some of the negative reviews and assume those guests expected a Ritz experience at a ski bum price or that more recent management and room updates are a reason we enjoyed a perfect stay. All said, this place is a hidden gem for those seeking a great location and value in an otherwise ultra expensive town. Looking forward to returning as our new go-to spot in town!!

Everything was great!!

The staff couldn't have been more helpful when we checked in. The hotel had a hot tub on the back deck, a nice spacious reception room and the best breakfast we had on our 24 day drive through the west.

The size of our room. We had to climb over our luggage the whole time we were here. There was barely enough room to move around the bed and the wall. It is a good thing that they had a large comfortable reception room just down the fall.

Quiet and clean hotel located in a quiet neighborhood within an easy walking distance to center of town/hiking trials. Bedding and bed was comfortable. Nice deck w table and chair off room with pretty view of mountain.

Oddly enough, the location of bed in room made it difficult to get in and out of it easily/safely—definitely less than a foot of space on either side. Continental breakfast was fine, but the hot water spigot was not very hot to cook instant oatmeal. No microwave to heat up food. Front desk employee wasn’t particularly friendly/engaging w guests which was too bad.

Very comfortable, great it comes with breakfast, extremely well located. Held us out in a pinch with some travel logistics.

Emailed to extend booking two weeks in advance,, was told only way was to make a new booking through a travel website for the extra day. They assure me they’d keep me in the same room but after my first night, when I was completely unpacked, the front desk told me I had to move from the third floor down to the basement for my final 3 nights. No elevator, so it was a bit painful to repeal and walk my bags down the stairs.

The overall feel of the hotel was great, The lobby was very welcoming and the desk staff were very helpful and friendly, We felt like we were staying at a bed and breakfast. I would highly recommend and without a doubt would stay again!

My only knock on our stay was the size of our room, It was pretty tight as was the bathroom. We had a queen setup that was positioned with little to no room between the bed and the side walls.

We liked that location is about 2 blocks to the main hub of eating, shopping, attractions, and transit to other mountains. David and Florencia are very accommodating hosts who granted all requests and shared insightful information which enhanced our stay.

We didn't like that the guests have to operate the hot tub so, we didn't use it. Not sure if this is a standard for boutique hotels though.

The design of the hotel is modern and chic The room is of adequate size and gives a warm feeling It's walkable from the hotel to anywhere around the town, and the main bus station is close to the hotel The housekeeper did a very good job cleaning the room

Although it's a given that Aspen is an expensive place, the room rate is really high

Stylish, minimalist decor; good breakfasts, great location; cozy. A great find in Aspen.

Our room was tiny, which would be fine except that the bed was wedges between the walls on one end and it was cumbersome to get in & out of bed with the walls just a few inches away on each side. We are small people, it would be nearly impossible to manage for tall / large adults.

Great location! 3 blocks from the gondola and all the restaurants. Nicely renovated and had everything you need. It was nice that they had breakfast in the morning too. Was great to have a hot tub and the staff was super nice and helpful.

The rooms were rather small.
