Aspen Meadows Resort has unveiled a suite renovation that pays a primary color homage to the resort’s Bauhaus design roots. The 98 all-suite property is sprawled across 40 acres of meadows and groves in the West End of Aspen, making it within walking distance of the city's many year-round outdoor pursuits, skiing, shopping and restaurants.
Michael Suomi of Manhattan-based Suomi Design Works was commissioned to refresh the interiors. The new design heavily focuses on reds, blues and yellows to represent the Bauhaus’ original primary color theory and adheres to the movement’s geometric principles. Some specialty legacy furniture, such as the Saarinen Tulip Tables and Bertoia Bird Chairs, were carefully restored, while new pieces, including platform beds with underneath storage, were added for both comfort and convenience.
The renovation will be fully complete by April and is the latest in a series of improvements at the resort, which is now part of Salamander Hotels & Resorts. Besides the elevated service levels that Salamander has delivered, the newly constructed Resnick Center for Herbert Bayer Studies opened last year while the historic Boettcher Building was also renovated. Further improvements to the Walter Isaacson Center and Plato’s restaurant are planned for the early fall of 2023, which will enhance the spatial connection to the outdoors and the mountain views.
The renovated living areas have new sun-lit work/dining areas with large tables for dining, working and family games, along with a blue leather banquette. The living spaces also include a Bauhaus-inspired sleeper sofa and updated coffee tables, end tables and area lighting. Many rooms also have additional reading areas with settees and pendant lights, while original Ferenc Berko black-and-white photographs decorate the suite.
Every bedroom offers the new platform beds with integrated storage, dressers and nightstands, recessed lighting and reading lamps in the headboards. Additionally, the renovation provides a technology boost with upgraded televisions, charging ports and conveniently placed electrical outlets.
The enhanced suites also have new bathrooms with lighter color schemes, besides updated kitchenettes with bar sinks, microwaves and refrigerators. The arrival area also showcases a “drop station” for catching the gear and jackets required for Aspen and its outdoors. All suites have heating and air conditioning units that are powered by the property’s 100 percent renewable energy grid.
