Curbed Ski has a great affinity for these mega-sized, marble-floored and counter-topped restrooms with full-wall stalls. Unless you’re in need of a quick pit stop, head to the lower ballroom level instead, as Aspen’s funky plumbing adds an unfortunate aroma to the main lobby restrooms near reception. That aside, on both levels the bathroom floors appear clean enough to eat off of (the prep counters at our local deli should look so good), water is solar-heated by rooftop panels, and soft washcloths and cushy embossed paper towels are in abundance. Note the downstairs restroom is larger, boasting 12 stalls and tightly louvered doors. There’s a well-lit “sitting area” ideal for touch-ups, and very little foot traffic.

While the main lobby washrooms are pretty sweet, it’s the 3rd floor version you want (servicing Nest Public House gastropub and deck). The gorgeous, minimalist design includes funky, tiled marble walls in alternating hues of pistachio, sage, and white, a vast expanse of mirror, soothing lighting, and refined touches like marble pedestals beneath the sinks. The overall feeling is that you’re not so much in a public bathroom as a powder room in a (very large) private home. Even the toilet stalls are pretty, featuring the same tile backdrops, a handy shelf, and discreet-but-attractive louvered doors.

The lobby restrooms by the elevators may be small (just a handful of stalls with full walls) but they’re lovely in design, with wood paneling painted slate grey, white marble floors, and Oriental-influenced wallpaper. There’s also yummy, signature hand soap infused with botanicals like citrus, lavender, sage, Douglas fir, and black spruce (dry your mitts with washcloths or plush paper towels). The attention to detail make the most of a small space: two thumbs up.

This stately, 19th century limestone schoolhouse (like many on this list, one of our 38 Essential Ski Town Hotels) was converted into a 12-room luxury boutique hotel in late 2011. While we’re a bit remiss to call the restrooms “public,” passerby are openly welcomed in to wander into the hotel and take in the stunning Shabby Chic-ish design. The interior features a mostly neutral palette of predominately white and grey tones, oak barn floors, Utah quartzite, and a carefully curated mix of antique furniture with quirky Western touches (painted antler chandeliers dripping with crystals; weathered farm tables). The single-occupancy restrooms are stunning, as well: “ice-white” marble, creamy wainscoting and walls, and fragrant Molton Brown liquid soap and lotion. This is the bathroom you long to have at home.

Sit and stay awhile, in this ground-level, marble-and-travertine tiled powder room, which includes a solid stone counter and mirror that just begs for touch-ups (slick on some lip balm, guys). The plentiful, fully-enclosed stalls are in a separate section from the sinks and three walls of mirrors. Soft, flattering light, a full-length entryway mirror, terrycloth hand towels, and L’Occitane hand soap and lotion (hooray!) ensure you leave feeling more put-together than when you arrived.

Most everything at the Ritz-Carlton Bachelor Gulch is fancy and the bathrooms follow suit. If you're coming from the lifts, head through the lobby and turn left. The bathrooms are past the elevators. Expect large stalls, hand towels, and plenty of tissue and lotion to freshen up.
