Aspen can be very expensive, but that doesn’t always translate to quality or value. The centrally located, newly renovated Annabelle Inn is well worth the cost, with its cozy, quiet rooms, decorated (like the common spaces) in European ski lodge style with plenty of wrought iron and rich wood. Meanwhile, rooms also have thoroughly modern items like flat-screen televisions, free wireless internet, and speakerphone. Units come with a free continental breakfast, a nice extra for skiers eager to fuel up before hitting the slopes. Once the day is done, the third floor observation deck is a great place to watch the sun go down, while the outdoor Jacuzzis are great for soothing sore muscles.
