# The Galena Penthouse (Durant 6D) vs Limelight Aspen

> Durant 6D, a quiet top-floor couples' penthouse with a wood-burning fire, compared with Limelight Hotel Aspen, a lively, family-friendly downtown hotel: space, privacy, ski access and cost.

**Short answer:** Limelight Aspen is a lively, family- and dog-friendly downtown hotel with a busy lobby lounge, about two blocks from the gondola. Durant 6D is the quiet alternative for couples: a 772 sq ft top-floor penthouse with a private landing, a wood-burning fire, a full kitchen, and a ski trail ten steps from the back door.
