Chateau Eau Claire and Chateau Roaring Fork are two sister condo complexes located on the banks of the Roaring Fork River in Aspen. These properties appeal to travelers who want the space and flexibility of condos with a location that balances tranquility with easy access to downtown Aspen and the slopes.
Chateau Eau Claire offers primarily 1- and 2-bedroom condos, while Chateau Roaring Fork boasts larger 2, 3 and 4 bedroom units. Each condos features a full kitchen, living area, dining space, and private balcony or patio. Units are individually owned (ranging from Standard level to Deluxe), so styles range from modern and updated to more traditional mountain décor. River-facing units are particularly popular for their peaceful views and the sound of rushing water. Furthermore, many units feature fireplaces, although fireplace use is currently subject to building regulations.
While not ski-in/ski-out, the properties are within walking distance (5 blocks, about 15 minutes) to the Silver Queen Gondola at Aspen Mountain. For those who prefer not to walk in ski boots, complimentary town shuttles run frequently (and from right out the front), making it easy to get to the lifts, restaurants, and shops downtown. Guests also have access to amenities like an outdoor heated pool, hot tubs, and a fitness facility, making the stay more resort-like than many standard condo rentals. These properties are managed by Frias Aspen, which provides lots of additional services for guests including complimentary airport transfers, housekeeping, 24/7 maintenance, health club access and free parking.
Chateau Eau Claire and Chateau Roaring Fork are not luxury properties—they don’t offer high-end finishes, extensive hotel services, or glamorous après-ski scenes. Instead, they deliver space, convenience, and value, especially for families or groups who want to spread out and enjoy home-style comforts while staying close to Aspen’s action.
