Four Colorado resorts named ‘America’s Best Towns for the Holidays’

Travel + Leisure magazine readers have chosen “America’s Best Towns for the Holidays” and four Colorado burgs have made the list. Aspen took the top spot in the pool of 25 festive spots.

The article said about Aspen, “A combination of luxe living and quaint charm helped this Rocky Mountain town capture the spot as the merriest of them all. Wandering along Cooper Avenue, you may chance upon cookie exchanges, public s’mores roasts or elf meet-and-greets. But the two most famous hotels in town act as the nerve centers for holiday cheer. The lobby of the Hotel Jerome regularly hosts carolers, while the Ajax Tavern and Element 47 at the Little Nell both serve fabulous holiday meals, with indulgences like venison loin with huckleberries, black truffles and chestnut-and-caramel profiteroles. The Little Nell also hosts the all-you-can-sip Bottomless Cristal New Year’s Eve Party.”

The other three Colorado towns with super holiday spirit are Vail, No. 2; Breckenridge, No. 6 and Telluride, No. 18.
