The Mountain Chalet Aspen is a mid-range hotel conveniently located downtown. This family-run, Swiss chalet-style property opened in 1954 and offers 59 individually decorated rooms, ranging from small Economy Rooms to spacious two-bedroom apartments with kitchens and two bathrooms. Decor can feel cozy or kitschy, but some areas are simply outdated. Amenities include a free hot breakfast, an outdoor heated pool, free parking, and an excellent fitness center with personal trainers, and a whirlpool, a sauna, and a steam room. Meeting space for up to 200 people is also available for rent. Rates are attractive but with only 59 rooms, it can sell out fast. Also downtown, the mid-range Annabelle Inn is a good alternative and offers a free breakfast buffet.

The upper-middle-range BlueSky Breckenridge is a ski-in/ski-out property in a tranquil wooded area right by the Snowflake Lift and a 15-minute walk to Main Street. The 52 condo units (one- to four-bedrooms) are clean and pleasant, with living rooms, balconies, and full kitchens with stainless steel appliances plus washers and dryers. A contemporary rustic-chic atmosphere permeates, with a particularly charming lobby with a fireplace and library. The heated outdoor pool is a highlight, complete with three hot tubs. Other features include a small bar, well equipped game room, and spa and fitness facilities -- though the latter is a bit small and doesn't have many machines. The property lacks a restaurant though. For a hotel with that feature, check out One Ski Hill Place, a RockResort, which also has a bowling alley.

The Four Seasons' central location, attentive staff, and ultra-luxurious rooms make it one of Denver's top hotels. It offers all the features you'd expect from a property of this caliber: a year-round, heated outdoor pool, large fitness center, and upscale spa. The decor blends the sleek sophistication of a luxury chain with subtle Colorado influences.

The Hilton Garden Inn Downtown is a mid-range property in downtown Denver, near the Colorado Convention Center and 16th Street Pedestrian Mall. Its 221 rooms are large and clean, if generic, with adjustable beds, ergonomic desk chairs, 32-inch flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. There is a coffee shop and a decent contemporary fusion restaurant, as well as a 24-hour business center and meeting spaces, which should appeal to business travelers. The indoor pool, though unexceptional, is nonetheless a nice extra for a hotel of this caliber -- and an amenity that the nearby Curtis Denver Hotel lacks.

While not one of the most luxurious hotels in the Aspen/Snowmass area, the Tamarack Townhouses offers nice standard amenities. The year-round outdoor pool may not be enormous, but it has a gorgeous two-tier Jacuzzi with stone-waterfall feature (one tier being adults-only). There's also a few good freebies including parking, Wi-Fi, and a shuttle to and from the Aspen Airport. Unfortunately the Tamarack is missing some features that other hotels offer, including a fitness center and an on-site restaurant, but guests are allowed use of the amenities at the nearby sister property, Stonebridge Inn, which has a massage room and modern fitness center.

This upper-middle-range hotel in downtown Denver is housed in a historic building, but inside, it's stylish and contemporary. The 297 rooms all come with flat-screen LED TVs, coffee- and tea-making facilities, work desks, and handsome, contemporary decor. The hotel offers some great freebies, including a nightly cookies and milk bar, a 24-hour fitness center, downtown shuttle service, and property-wide Wi-Fi. There is no pool, however; for that, try Hilton Garden Inn Denver Downtown.

Vail Mountain Lodge is a four-pearl boutique ski hotel located right by Vail's Vista Bahn ski lift. Its 28 rooms, suites, and condos are spacious and cozy, and many have gas fireplaces to add to the ambience; condos also have full kitchens. Amenities include a restaurant, Terra Bistro, where a free hot breakfast and an eclectic dinner menu are offered, but lunch is not available. The gym is a highlight, with lots of equipment and a two-story climbing wall, and there's an on-site spa and a deck with two whirlpool hot tubs. Note that there's a daily resort fee and parking costs extra. Vail Mountain Lodge is a great choice for couples, but there's not much for kids and travelers with younger guests may want to consider the family-friendly Vail Village Hotel Talisa instead.

This luxury boutique resort, opened in Vail in 2010, features beautiful, high-end mountain decor, particularly in the airy lobby and cozy library (no cabin kitsch here). There are two great restaurants, including the organic tapas bistro Leonora, plus a chic lounge, an outdoor pool with four hot tubs open year-round, and an upscale spa. The Luxury Plaza Rooms are on the small side, but updated decor includes beautiful wood furniture and luxurious fabrics in wintry colors. There are also roomier suites and residences with full kitchens and washer/dryers. The location right off I-70 could also be a little better: It's within walking distance of Vail Village, the slopes, and the hotel's own Base Camp (with ski rentals and a cafe), but it's not right in the heart of anything. Guests might also consider the Sonnenalp Hotel in the heart of Vail Village, which has five restaurants and bars, though less stylish decor -- and somewhat lower rates -- than The Sebastian.

This upper-middle-range boutique hotel has 25 homey rooms with rustic touches (such as wood-beam ceilings and sturdy wood doors) and marble bathrooms with heated floors. Austria Haus's on-site amenities include a cozy lounge, fitness center, and small pool and attached whirlpool, plus guests get free access to the facilities at sister property The Lodge at Vail, which is a short walk away. The hotel's most notable asset may be its great central location in Vail Village square, close to the Vista Bahn ski lift. It's worth comparing Austria Haus's rates with Vail Mountain Lodge & Spa's.
