The spa and new restaurant at the St. Regis Aspen have both recently received awards for excellence.

Chefs Club, the new restaurant that features a rotating cast of past winners of Food & Wine magazine’s Best New Chefs award in the kitchen, received the AAA Four Diamond Award.

Remede Spa also has been honored with the Forbes Four Star rating, and Travel+Leisure magazine ranked the spa second in the U.S. and sixth-best worldwide.

Both establishments remind Aspen to keep an eye out for locals’ specials this off-season.
