If you’re searching for walkable Aspen condos with strong rental appeal, great amenities, and unbeatable proximity to the slopes, it’s hard to beat Chateau Dumont and Chateau Chaumont.
Located in the heart of Aspen’s Lodging District and just steps from Aspen Mountain, these two buildings consistently rank among the most desirable options for buyers, investors, and second-home owners who want convenience, lifestyle, and excellent rental potential.
Both Chateau Dumont and Chateau Chaumont sit just a block from the base of Aspen Mountain, placing owners and guests right in the center of:
world-class skiing
hiking and biking trails
restaurants and après-ski spots
shopping, galleries, and nightlife
year-round events in downtown Aspen
You can park your car and truly live the walkable Aspen lifestyle.
Chateau Dumont sits slightly closer to the action, which means incredible access and a bit more proximity to nightlife and activity (including some noise near The W). Chateau Chaumont enjoys the same convenience with just a touch more buffer.
The bonus? Owners at both buildings typically receive locals discounts at The W, giving residents a fun perk right across the street.
One of the biggest advantages of both buildings is their location inside Aspen’s designated Lodging District.
That means:
➡️ Short-term rental (STR) permits generally transfer smoothly at closing
➡️ Owners can begin renting quickly with far fewer hurdles
➡️ Strong rental history + predictable demand
For investors or anyone wanting optional income, these are two of the most “plug-and-play” condo options in Aspen.
Most condos in Chateau Dumont and Chateau Chaumont were designed with mountain living in mind.
Typical features include:
✔ walk-in mudroom entry spaces — perfect for skis, boots, gear
✔ fireplaces for cozy winter evenings
✔ well-planned kitchens and living areas
✔ remodeled interiors in many units, with high-end finishes and updated design
Most units today also include in-unit laundry, which is a significant convenience — and a major rental advantage.
Covered parking is not always easy to find in Aspen. Both Chateau Dumont and Chateau Chaumont offer:
✔ covered parking (a huge win during snowy winters)
For owners, that means less digging out your car. For renters, it’s an added amenity that helps justify premium rates.
Recently renovated condos in these buildings tend to command significantly higher:
nightly rental rates
occupancy
resale values
Updated kitchens, modern baths, new flooring, and refreshed mountain-modern design make a noticeable difference.
And if you’re looking for the best of the best?
Top-floor units consistently command premium pricing, both in sales and rentals.
Better light, better views, and fewer neighbors above you make top-level condos especially coveted.
To summarize, these buildings check nearly every Aspen buyer wish-list box:
✨ Walkable to everything
✨ Steps from Aspen Mountain
✨ Transferable STR permits (Lodging District)
✨ Covered parking
✨ In-unit laundry (in most units)
✨ Mudroom-style entries
✨ Remodeled units available

✨ Local perks at The W next door
Whether you’re building a rental portfolio, looking for a second home, or simply want a convenient lock-and-leave Aspen condo, Chateau Dumont and Chateau Chaumont offer some of the strongest value opportunities near the base of the mountain.
