Shadow Mountain Lounge, Aspen

If you seek escape from the usual mountain bar scene of lift attendants in backward baseball caps and guitar players singing "Margaritaville" non-stop, then saunter over to this oasis of decorum. Though exposed to hotel lobby traffic, the bar offers a cozy and quiet atmosphere normally only found in mountain cabins. A huge granite fireplace, which is surrounded by overstuffed chairs, blazes in the center of the room, and soft, live piano music plays nightly, making this an ideal setting for exchanging coy glances over wine. It is also a great nest for celebrity-watching. The bar features a strong selection of wines, apertifs, and domestic and imported beers.
