The 2026 MICHELIN Guide Colorado, revealed September 14, 2026, lists four Aspen restaurants: Bosq with one Michelin star, and Element 47, Mawa's Kitchen and Prospect as recommended. There is no Bib Gourmand in Aspen and no Snowmass restaurant in the guide. Three Aspen hotels hold a Michelin Key.

Tell us the night and the party, and we'll work on the table, hold a driver for the evening, and suggest a back-up worth having. If the night is at the house instead, a private chef cooks there. Ask us.
Christmas to New Year's, Presidents' week and Food & Wine weekend are when these tables are hardest. Book as soon as reservations open for your dates.

Hotel Jerome, The Little Nell and MOLLIE Aspen, each with One Key in 2026.
No. None of the Aspen listings in the 2026 Colorado guide is a Bib Gourmand.
A driver for the evening, a private chef for nights in, and the table worked on when it matters.
A car and driver on call for dinner and the night out, so nobody hunts for a taxi at midnight.
Dinner at the house, menu agreed in advance.
The kitchen stocked to your list before you land.
Come in from the mountain to the fire lit, something warm to drink and a spread laid out: set up while you ski by our chef or caterer, from groceries already in the house.
A short email when the guide changes, a restaurant opens or closes, or booking windows open.
