Limelight Mammoth, the newest property from Aspen One and the brand’s first hotel in California, officially opens its doors today, welcoming travelers, adventurers, and the Mammoth Lakes community to a contemporary, sustainability-forward basecamp at the heart of the Eastern Sierra. Situated steps from The Village and the Village Gondola, with stunning views of the Sherwin mountain range, Limelight Mammoth debuts as a fresh, modern destination for discovery, connection, and year-round mountain adventure.
Limelight Mammoth blends comfort with purposeful design across 149 guestrooms, including 25 suites, and 15 private residences, offering smart storage solutions, modern kitchenettes, sweeping mountain views, and a relaxed alpine aesthetic. The 15 luxurious Limelight Residences Mammoth elevate the experience further, offering a home away from home. These spacious two- to five-bedroom retreats pair modern mountain architecture with refined, fully furnished interiors. They feature open living spaces, high-end kitchens, full laundry rooms, generous storage, and private elevators for added ease and privacy.
Additionally, the hotel and residences are proud to introduce Mammoth Lakes Mountain Club, the area’s newest members-only ski and social club. Modeled after the beloved Aspen Mountain Club and Snowmass Mountain Club, it pairs refined comfort with unmatched mountain access. Members will enjoy exclusive amenities such as a stylish private lounge, outdoor terrace with firepits, all-day bar, semi-private workspaces, ski valet, personal lockers, gondola access, fitness center and pool privileges, dedicated parking, and a year-round calendar of exclusive events and experiences.
Sustainability is foundational to the property and its design. It is also an expression of Aspen One’s core values. Limelight Mammoth has been developed as an all‑electric hotel, powered by efficient heat pumps – a departure from traditional fossil fuel-based systems, and significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. As the grid moves towards renewables, the building will naturally “green itself” over time. Reclaimed materials, native landscaping, and expansive windows connect the building to its alpine surroundings, while EV charging stations, an all-electric Audi fleet for guest use, and an efficient operations program underscore Aspen One’s unwavering commitment to climate leadership.
