Green Hotels: Viceroy Snowmass Has Rates from $100 this Spring

Viceroy SnowmassHow do we love the Viceroy Snowmass? Let us count the ways. Theres the Ute Indian-inspired wellness spa. The all-season heated saline pool, terrace with cabanas, Nest lounge and caf designed by Kelly Wearstler. The helpful ski valet with on-site ski and snowboard rental. And the kick-ass slopeside location in the heart of Snowmass new Base Village just seven miles from downtown Aspen. But perhaps most importantly: the hotel is eco-friendly. Outside Magazine has the deets:

More and more ski resorts are going green meaning you can feel good about living it up. In Colorados recently renovated Snowmass village, the year-old Snowmass Viceroy offers 173 luxe rooms and a sprawling spa complex. But thanks to smart construction (think low-flow faucets and high-efficiency heating systems) as well as gaudy extras like an electric-car charging station, the lodge is up for LEED Silver certification. Roll up in your hybrid and parkings free.

Hot deal: Viceroy Snowmass has Linger Longer Rates starting at $100 per night from May 26, 2011. The ski season may be over by then, but youll be privy to fantastic weather and gorgeous Rocky Mountain views.
