Let’s start with the room. It was such a nice luxury to have not only a kitchen, but a simple yet elegant one at that. I seriously gained #inspo for my Tiny House kitchen based on this one. It had all of the necessities when it comes to a hotel suite kitchen and to be honest, I couldn’t imagine not having one while staying in Snowmass on a summer or winter vaca. It just adds to the overall comfort and health that one would wish for when traveling far for an extended time. Don’t get me wrong, it was hard to not order room service for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day as their Toro and Nest restaurants have some of the finest and delicious cuisine I’ve had in a long time. Let’s not talk about their cocktails and restaurant setting… or should we?

As someone who travels solo 99% of the time, I really prefer to not eat out and rather, cook in my room or if I must go out, the restaurant should be inviting and cozy. Let’s be honest, sitting at a four person table alone can be uncomfortable, unless you’re working on your laptop, of course. Either way, I tend to seek out restaurants that have a cozy vibe with nooks for me to work and have a drink. Leave it to Toro Restaurant and Lounge to do the trick! I absolutely loved the restaurant/lounge vibe and unique decor that allowed for the opportunity to sit and take it all in over a drink and appetizers. The outdoor patio was even better, with sweeping views of the mountains at sunset, I must come back here during winter to experience the full effect, and I recommend you do the same! Latin-inspired cuisine amidst a gorgeous setting, all I could ask for (Latin food is my favorite).
