Lexus Winter Vacation to Aspen, Colorado
Back in November I made a trip to Aspen, Colorado to see the snow! I am a Colorado girl born and raised, so it never truly feels like the holidays until I get to see some snow!
I flew into Denver International Airport and took a mini road trip up to Aspen. Lexus lent me their brand new 2020 Lexus LX 570 to drive around snowy Colorado and it couldn’t have been a more exceptional experience. The two-row 2020 LX 570 features a luxurious interior with spacious five-passenger seating, wide-screen rear-seat entertainment system which makes it great for road trips, full-time four-wheel drive and my favorite: heated seats and a heated steering wheel.

I have been to Aspen several times, but hadn’t been there in the winter for a few years and it was so magical. It only took us 3 hours from Denver since the road conditions were good and there was no traffic driving up on a Sunday!
We stayed at the brand new W Aspen and I could not recommend it enough!! The prime location, the luxurious amenities, the views, the food and bar; everything was just beyond.

Our bags were taken up to our rooms and we went to get our complimentary welcome beverages at the bar, along with a few snacks! I highly recommend anything and everything on their menu, it was so good that we ended up eating at the hotel every night we were there!!
