Lodge Aesthetics

Reno Smith Architects have retained the architectural vision of Frank Lloyd Wright while showcasing a contemporary lodge design, unique in Aspen. The new Boomerang highlights the beauty of contrasts. Using glass, metal, timber and stone, the redesign features clean lines, angles and overhangs that pay homage to the original wing with the “butterfly” roof, inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright.

To honor Aspen’s past, The Boomerang’s “East Wing” will retain its historic charm. Originally sketched by Charlie Paterson while studying at Taliesin West, the breakfast lounge remains as it was – with its walls and fireplace of rustic concrete and windows arranged for maximum openness. Renamed the Paterson Room, it is a tribute to Aspen’s past.

The redesigned lodge draws on the natural setting with bold new lines that combine the classics of the past with a new aesthetic for the future.

With more than 60% of glass on the south side of the new building, the lodge rooms are airy and light with views of Shadow and Aspen Mountains. The ground level rooms offer easy access to hiking and biking trails as well as in the gentle blue waters of the pool and spas set against the picturesque view.

All rooms have state-of-the-art kitchens and fireplaces. The luxurious 2,600 square foot penthouses have fireplaces and hot tubs on their private balconies, further enhancing the connection to nature.
