Ana bells was an old Aspen guesthouse hotel from the early days of Aspen, and it still keeps that old charm in the styling, and more importantly, the feel. While I was shooting these pictures I got caught in a conversation about cameras with a guy that had been staying in this very same hotel since the 1960's, which show me that they have been true to their roots through out there long history. With the current management team it is easy to predict they will be around for a long time to come as well.
The internet is new and so are allot of the working parts, but this Aspen classic has kept its charm.
Tyrolean has always been a skiers hotel, another of the long time hotels in Aspen. If you are looking for cheap accommodation this is usually the best deal in town IF you can get a reservation, as many times, especially during X games, Winterskol and Xmas New Years this is one of the first hotels in Aspen to fill up.
