MAMMOTH LAKES, California—Limelight Mammoth, Aspen One‘s first hotel in California, opened its doors, welcoming guests to a sustainability-forward property in the Eastern Sierra. The hotel is situated steps from The Village and the Village Gondola, and it offers views of the Sherwin mountain range.
Limelight Mammoth includes 149 guestrooms, with 25 suites, and 15 private residences, offering smart storage solutions, modern kitchenettes, and mountain views. The 15 Limelight Residences Mammoth, two- to five-bedroom retreats, pair modern mountain architecture with fully furnished interiors. They include open living spaces, kitchens, full laundry rooms, storage, and private elevators.
Additionally, the hotel and residences introduced Mammoth Lakes Mountain Club, the area’s newest members-only ski and social club. Modeled after the Aspen Mountain Club and Snowmass Mountain Club, it offers mountain access. Members will receive exclusive amenities such as a private lounge, outdoor terrace with firepits, an all-day bar, semi-private workspaces, ski valet, personal lockers, gondola access, a fitness center and pool privileges, dedicated parking, and a year-round calendar of exclusive events and experiences.
“This opening marks an exciting milestone for the Limelight brand as we continue to expand into the best locations within special destinations, bringing our signature warmth, sophistication, and community-driven spirit to the Sierra Nevada,” said Evan Thomas, general manager of Limelight Mammoth. “This incredible property is designed for travelers who seek adventure and meaningful connection. We’re excited to welcome guests, members and locals to a space where inspired design, sustainability, and the natural beauty of Mammoth Lakes come together effortlessly.”
Limelight Mammoth has been developed as an all‑electric hotel, powered by efficient heat pumps 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 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 commitment to sustainability.
