Wildwood Snowmass, Aspen and Snowmass, United States

· less than 2 minutes' walk to the slopes · located in Snowmass Village Mall

Budget-concious travellers will love the comfortable and functional Wildwood. Built in 1967, the hotel has been recently renovated - it's now a chic hotel in central Snowmass, just steps from the ski lifts, restaurants, bars and nightlife. By maintaining the traditional 60’s exterior corridors, the hotel is able to uphold its roots - but bright colours and contemporary furnishings have brought it into the 21^stcentury.

The 145 rooms have been refurbished to a high standard, with either two comfy double beds or one king bed. Creative storage spaces like under-the-bed trundle drawers, ski racks and cubby benches allow you to stow your gear. If you'd rather have a bit of extra space in your room, you can always keep your skis or board in the hotel’s ski storage room, fitted with lockers and boot racks.

The Wildwood also has funky activities for everyone to enjoy, whether you’re with family or friends. In the lounge, you can move around the modular furniture and snuggle down to watch a film. Or if everyone's feeling competitive, grab a board game and battle it out with your mates. Just want to recuperate on your own? There's a whole choice of books to choose from in the lounge. On top of that, the hotel houses an outdoor pool as well as two hot tubs. All customers also have full access to Westin Resort's facilities, next door.

In the evenings, the bar and lounge is transformed into a mini nightclub with live music and DJs, so put on your dancing shoes and party the night away from the comfort of your own hotel. The bar also sells beers on tap from Colorado’s New Belgium Brewery, so there's a whole range of new drinks to try. Also doubling up as a restaurant, the bar sells a range of food from fish and chips to speciality pizzas. If you’re looking for something a bit different, the Double Black Noodle Bar serves traditional Japanese-style cuisine.

So if you’re looking for lively but down-to-earth accommodation for a fraction of the money, the Wildwood is the place to be.
