Sure, it's become the playground of America's wealthiest and handsomest ski bums, but Aspen is just as rich and gorgeous in the summer. During the off months, the area kicks off its ski boots and kicks up its Wild West origins in order to attract tourists. Whereas in winter, most of its reservations are made months ahead, in the summer, the Wildwood does a lot of drive-up business, so it's possible to take advantage of low rates for much of the summer, since the proprietors can't bank on guaranteed business.
Rooms are lodge-style, with outdoor entrances off a courtyard with a pool and whirlpool.
Inside, there are the usual hotel-room perks and more, such as coffee makers, humidifiers, satellite TV, and Nintendo systems. Book as early as possible, since availability will diminish with increased room reservations.
