Several years ago, my family attended a stunning wedding in Aspen, complete with an incredible mass at the Catholic Church, a gourmet 4-course meal and an outdoor reception straight out of a wedding magazine. While my family was visiting and eating the delicious fare, a man with dark, curly hair stopped by our table and asked if he could sit at the empty spot--I obliged, not thinking anything of it. Come to find out, the man sitting next to me was none other than John Oates (Hall and Oates) and I had NO idea.
That was the only (unbeknownst-to-me) celebrity sighting in Colorado that I've ever had, but after doing a little research, I discovered that these 5 places are our best bet to spot a star:
1. Aspen
It isn't uncommon to see movie stars strolling the streets of Aspen. Many celebrities, including Kevin Costner and Charlie Sheen, own homes in the Aspen area! If you're looking for more specific Aspen locations, make sure to check out...
2. Hotel Jerome (Aspen)
The historic Hotel Jerome is a favorite to visiting celebrities, including Heidi Klum, Jessica Biel and Gerard Butler.
3. The Little Nell (Aspen)
One of Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell's favorite Colorado hangouts is the luxurious Little Nell!
4. Telluride
With Oprah, Jerry Seinfeld, and Tom Cruise all owning property in Telluride, it might as well be called "Little Hollywood!" **Tip: Various celebrities have been known to ski, shop and dine around the area.**
5. Potager (Denver)
If you're in the mood for some fresh farm-to-table cuisine, you'll want to head to Potager. Who knows...you may just see Simon Baker!
