Aspen is one of the best places in Colorado to test your photography skills. With its famous peaks, world-class skiing, and charming town, there are countless opportunities. So where do we start? We recently sat down with Jeremy Swanson, a professional photographer in Aspen, to get some pointers about capturing photos, whether you’re an amateur […]
Aspen is definitely renowned for its party scene. Both the Apres-Ski Cocktail Classic and the prestigious Annual Food & Wine Classic call Aspen home, and for good reason. Aspen’s amazing bars, restaurants, and clubs are some of the best in the world. First Stop The first stop on any Aspen bar crawl has got to […]
Aspen Snowmass, as a resort, is a great place for beginners to learn to ski. The slopes aren’t as crowded as some of the other Colorado resorts, so beginners have some space to learn the progression from “pizza” to “french fries.” If the references to snacks don’t resonate with you, that means you should probably […]
Seafood in the heart of the Rocky Mountains? While this might sound like a red flag, I’m here to tell you that it’s actually one of Aspen’s best bets. Matsuhisa I could almost stop writing this post after explaining to you that the venerable Nobu Matsuhisa has an outpost in Aspen, and can often be […]
Cheese. Chocolate. Wine. What could be better? Oh yes, shrimp beignets. This past Wednesday, my friend/co-worker Miranda and I had the wildly fun pleasure of taking a cooking class put on by Briana, the group sales manager at the Limelight. Miranda and I help make this blog the best it can be, and while its […]
This year, skip the routine. Host your upcoming business meeting in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Aspen, Colorado is home to watersports and golfing during the summer, and snow activities in winter.

Did you know that the Limelight Hotel is expanding? This past summer we broke ground in Sun Valley, Idaho, specifically in downtown Ketchum. If you haven’t heard of Ketchum, we highly suggest taking a trip there. With daily/weekly flights to and from Denver, Los Angeles, Seattle, Salt Lake City and San Francisco it’s accessible, charming, […]
If you only think of Aspen when it is glistening beneath a layer of powdered snow, then you need to think again. Certainly from December to February, when the snow is fresh and deep, Aspen is popular; but for Denverites who have easy access, Aspen’s off-season is golden. If you are planning a weekend getaway […]
When I moved to Aspen from the east coast I couldn’t believe how dark it gets at night. I’d planned on getting black-out shades like I’d used in the city, but quickly realized that I could sleep with my blinds and windows wide open–completely undisturbed. The lack of ambient brightness means that in Aspen at […]
Earlier today, a friend asked me what I meant when I said “Aspen’s culture.” Anyone who’s spent even just 48 hours in Aspen can agree that Aspen has a unique culture all its own. That said, it can seem that Aspen’s “culture” is more of a feeling or vibe than a specific specific customs, rituals, […]
Aspen’s gorgeous sunsets, mountains, rivers and hiking trails are scattered with wildflowers. Some take it for granted that we hold so many species of flora in our backyard playground, but each summer the Limelight team ventures outside and our breaths are taken away. Flowers. Everywhere you look. If you’re not venturing to Aspen this summer, you […]
