Back in the day, accommodations, was the word people used when they walked into their local travel agent to find places to stay on their vacation. But somewhere along the line, accommodations, even in Aspen, lost favor to the word, lodging… We surmise this is because it is a hard word to spell! But that is just an assumption.

Regardless of whether you are looking for accommodations or lodging in Aspen, Colorado, we are here to be very “accommodating!”

You can choose hotel rooms and suites that we manage at the Independence Square Hotel in the heart of downtown. Or you might want to select one of the many fractional residences that are part of the Ritz-Carlton, Hyatt and others.

The heart of our operation though is vacation condominiums, or condos, as they are known… probably for the same reason we don’t use accommodations anymore! Choose from literally hundreds of affordable, standard and luxury condos in a variety of locations throughout Aspen.

At the pinnacle of accommodations in todays’ Aspen, are the private home rentals. Perfect for large families and small groups, our home rentals come in many styles with one that is sure to match yours!

No matter how you say it, we here are Frias Properties look forward to helping you plan the perfect Aspen vacation, soon!

Getting to Aspen: The most affordable way to fly to Aspen can be tricky.  It is not always more expensive to fly directly to the Aspen airport than it is to Eagle or Denver. Make sure you check all three airports; ASE, EGE, DIA, before you buy. We have seen some deals into Aspen and Vail if your travel dates are flexible. The other part of the decision if you are flying vs. driving is the transfer from Denver to Aspen.

Aspen Lodging: Contrary to popular belief, there are loads of affordable condos to rent in Aspen. By renting a vacation rental condo, you can save money on eating out by preparing some of your own meals. Choose from dozens and dozens of economy vacation rentals that have 1 to 4 bedrooms, full kitchens and amenities like a central hot tub or pool. For no extra charge you can call us toll-free and we will help you choose the perfect place at a good price. As a special thanks to our frugal friends we are offering 25% off the seasonal rate when you mention the code “Affordable Aspen” on all new reservations.

What to Do: Sure skiing and golf come with a ticket price. But in Summer there is hiking, biking, fishing and many more free or inexpensive past times. Any time of year, strolling the dozens of galleries visiting our museums and plenty more activities cost less than $20. All of our guests receive a complimentary pass to the Aspen Club and Spa as well!

Eating on the Cheap: There are literally hundreds of places to eat out in Aspen. Some of the most famous chefs in the world call our valley their home! But don’t let that fool you. Pick up a dining guide at our front desk to narrow down your decisions. But some of our favorite “cheap eats” in town are, Boogie’s Diner, just down the street for us, is fun for the whole family. Or, for authentic Mexican fare, head for The Cantina, where there is something always going on. If your tastes trend towards Italian, we recommend you try Brunelleschi’s on Mill Street. A great place for a quick and tasty breakfast is Peach’s Corner Café. These are just a few of the many inexpensive dining possibilities to be found.

Still don’t believe you can visit Aspen affordably. Call our friendly reservationists. They really enjoy helping people crack the expense barrier!

Alexandra was born and raised in New York City. She studied Communications at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. After graduation she worked part-time for Forstmann Little & Co,, which led to Alex’s first trip to Aspen. She immediately fell in love with the town and wanted to move here. The next year she worked with a NYC event planning firm where she fundraised and managed events for companies such as the Bette Midler New York Restoration Project. After gaining knowledge & experience with event planning she decided to head to Aspen. In November 2007, without even one friend or contact, yet, in Aspen to help her get started, or a place to live or job, she bought a one-way ticket. An excellent decision!
Alex loves the mountains, lifestyle, and now has tons of friends and a job she loves. Since arriving in Aspen, she’s been working in the lodging-hospitality business planning trips for groups as well as individual travelers. She says she is very excited about her new opportunity with Frias as Group Sales Manager.
