2026 Canine Hospitality Award Winner
The Great Outdoors
On a forty-acre campus in the Rocky Mountains, Aspen Meadows gives your dog room to run that few hotels on earth can match.
The Setting
In the Rocky Mountains
Aspen Meadows sits on the forty-acre Aspen Institute campus, Bauhaus pavilions scattered through meadow and aspen groves with the ski runs of Aspen Mountain rising behind. In summer it is wildflower and trail, in winter it is fresh snow to the treeline. Either way, it is a lot of ground for a dog to cover.
Why It Won
Why It Won The Great Outdoors
The Great Outdoors goes to the finest space to roam a dog off the lead, and forty acres of Rocky Mountain campus is hard to beat. Dogs are welcome through the bar, the restaurant, the terrace and the lounge, and the trails start where the lawns end, so the walk after dinner is a proper one.
