Aspen is the second most expensive President’s Day destination in the USA. The vacation, which takes place this year from February 16 to 19, has seen prices soar in the posh Rocky Mountain ski resort. Only Wailea, in the Hawaiian archipelago, can compete.
Cheaphotels.org has voted Aspen, the chic Colorado ski resort, as the second most expensive destination in the USA over the extended President’s Day weekend (February 16-19, 2024). Wailea, the resort town in Hawaii, is the only one to rival it, at $678 for a double room.
To establish its rankings, the platform based its analysis on entry-level prices for a night’s stay in 3 to 5 star hotels in prime hotel destinations (a minimum of 20 establishments) in the U.S., conveniently located (downtown, seaside or ski lifts). The analysis was based on prices observable on the Kayak comparison site as of February 15.
