The EMP Winter House and it is due to a partnership between American Express, Make it Nice and Eleven Madison Park. "We are thrilled to be partnering with American Express again to launch the first-ever EMP Winter House in Aspen," said Will Guidara, restaurateur and co-owner of Make It Nice.
"After two consecutive summers in East Hampton at EMP Summer House, and with the opportunity to tap into Daniel’s Swiss roots, it was a no-brainer to bring the experience to an exciting winter destination and Aspen is the perfect place to do it," he added.
Food, drinks, and fun
American Express cardholders have a choice of location when they make their reservations. They can eat inside the venue or they can go for a table in the newly built Yurt Village in the restaurant's courtyard.
