Designing the first new-build boutique hotel in Aspen in over 20 years, and W Hotel’s only alpine resort in the United States, came with singular challenges.

Working with Denver-based Sage Hospitality, creators of the Curtis Hotel brand, DLR Group’s interior design solution transforms the lobby into an ideal day in Colorado, pulling inspiration from the surrounding landscape and typical Coloradan pastimes.

In April 2018, work began on the transformation of one of Colorado’s most significant and symbolic mountain resort venues: Breckenridge Ski Resort’s original base area, Peak 8. Improvements had been ongoing for more than a decade, and the construction effort has culminated in an unprecedented ski-in, ski-out development that is providing visitors to the mountain town with a grand destination.
