There is a wholesome feel to the St. Moritz Lodge & Condominiums, a value property with free breakfast. Its 25 traditional rooms range from shared dorm-style lodgings to two-bedroom condos with full kitchens. Far from the hippest place in this tiny ski town, the St. Moritz has an off-kilter charm that is equal parts European, practical, and old fashioned, though some furnishings are dated or worn. There is a pretty blue-tile pool and well-tended gardens. But travelers looking for less kitsch could try the Aspen Mountain Lodge, though there's less personality as well.

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 Decor can feel cozy or kitschy, but some areas are simply outdated.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 Limelight is a modern, 126-room resort in the heart of Aspen. The hotel offers tons of inclusive perks, including transportation to and from the Aspen airport and all area lifts, Wi-Fi, continental breakfast, gym, and early mountain access with professional guides. In the summer, guests can enjoy the heated outdoor pool and free bike loans. Rooms are contemporary and high-end, if a tad bland for the price, and have flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, and Keurig coffeemakers. The Limelight Hotel's prime location, cozy lounge restaurant, and tons of seasonal extras make it a great four-pearl pick, but it's worth comparing rates with the nearby Sky Hotel.

The Annabelle Inn's individually decorated rooms feel like they belong in a cabin rather than a hotel. And the cozy, casual layout follows suit -- rooms are all accessed by exterior hallways that face inward over a quaint courtyard. Amenities here are few, but the two outdoor hot tubs are a real highlight -- especially for slopes junkies who enjoy the ski videos played in the evenings. Perks such as the plentiful free breakfast buffet and the great Main Street location (a little more than six blocks from the ski lifts) make the inn a great value year-round. The nearby Mountain Chalet Aspen offers a free hot breakfast, free underground parking, and an excellent fitness center, but its rooms aren't as charming.

A top-rated luxury hotel in Aspen, the 1889-opened Hotel Jerome is all about history and rustic elegance, managing to feel sophisticated and cozy at the same time. Located on Aspen's main street, there are ski racks outside for those fresh off the slopes, and three snazzy bars and restaurants inside to warm them up. The 93 rooms are gorgeous and high-end, featuring masculine decor, Nespresso machines, and separate tubs and showers.

A popular choice among families, The Gant sits near the base of Aspen Mountain and features 140 one- to four-bedroom condos with Aspen-inspired decor (leather and wood accents, rich colors, and scenic mountain artwork). The hotel is on a large piece of land, and has two heated outdoor pools with accompanying Jacuzzis, as well as five tennis courts, so it remains lively in both the winter and summer months. But the hotel is farther from the center of town than some other resorts (although it remains within walking distance), so those hoping to be in the middle of the action may consider the nearby Aspen Square Condominium Hotel.
