Daily deal: One night in Aspen, Colorado

The Gant Hotel in Aspen, Colorado, is nestled in the majestic Rocky Mountains.

Just because you don't have an Austrian brood of singing siblings in tow doesn't mean you, too, can't frolic through a sweeping mountain landscape.

The breathtaking hills of Aspen, Colorado, are alive with the sound of savings. With today’s escape, you and your captain or governess can enjoy a one-night weekday or weekend stay at The Gant, a premier Aspen hotel.

Perched along the Roaring Fork River, the picturesque city promises a whole lot more of your favourite things than just raindrops on roses. At The Gant — named a Top 50 Ski Hotel by Condé Nast Traveler — you'll cosy up in a standard guest room, with included daily access to The Aspen Club & Spa, plus two 25%-off spa discounts to use toward a facial or Swedish massage, on a weekday ($184) or weekend ($194).

The former silver mining town that BBC Travel says, "looks like the French Alps, [and] rivals Vail for star power," will have you ready to stop and smell the Edelweiss with year-round activities for all ages, with hiking, mountain biking, upscale shopping and cultural landmarks.

Aspen is also home to acclaimed dining (the gourmet Food & Wine Magazine Classic is held here each summer).

Spot a doe (a deer, a female deer) as you take in the scenery from the comfy-chic hotel with valet parking, bell service and signature, award-winning concierge service.

Solving a problem like Maria (or whatever stresses you are facing) can wait. Once you have arrived at The Gant, you are in for an escape that'll be like The Sound of Music to your ears.
