Spago Bachelor Gulch

Just yesterday I had the delight of checking out the two-year-old Spago in Bachelor Gulch, CO located inside the Ritz. The food was of course insanely good, but to be completely honest with you, if I had to choose between Spago and a hot buttered rum by the lobby fireplace, I'd opt for the latter—that lobby was just too damn cozy for words. The design at Spago was pretty great though, I especially loved the use of Zanotta Sciangai coat racks ($1,064) designed in 1973. Totally and completely functional. People just tossed their coats and hats and sat down to a potato leek soup while wearing their ski boots. Not exactly Spago Beverly Hills!
