Affectionately dubbed 'the Harry Potter Hotel,' the Residence is certainly the most unique place to lay your head in town. Consisting of one- to three-bedroom apartments, each suite here is endearingly bizarre, from leopard-print carpeting and portraits of French nobility to overly verdant house plants and antique furnishings. The owner, Terry Butler, is quintessential Aspen and quite a trip.
