SPA MENU
We would be delighted to coordinate private transfers to and
from neighboring airports or locally.
Aspen Airport is only 10-15 minutes to/from all Aspen and
Snowmass Hotels. Eagle County Airport is 90 minutes to/from
Aspen. Denver International Airport is approximately 4 hours to/
from Aspen. All transfer times are estimates and may vary due
to traffic and weather.
1
AIRPORT MEET & GREET
To the extent we arrange a transfer for you, we will have someone meet you at the airport with a sign and escort
you to your car.
CAR RENTALS
We can assist you with a rental car, however, since overnight parking charges are so expensive at the hotel we do
not suggest you keep a car for your entire stay.
LUGGAGE
With airport anxieties and lots of families traveling this time of year we strongly recommend shipping your luggage
to the hotel. This will eliminate a lot of frustration and truly ease your travel experience. Often times shipping bags
is even cheaper than paying for airline baggage fees. The St. Regis will store your bags and have them delivered
to your room.
SHIPPING
If you are interested please ship your bags as follows:
Attach the special baggage tags or labels we will be sending you.
These will have your room number and other important details in order
to ensure prompt and proper delivery to your room.
Please clearly mark the total number of bags you are shipping on each label (i.e., bag 1 of 4, 2 of 4, etc.)
Let us know that you are shipping your bags and how many so that we can be ready to receive them.

PERSONAL PREFERENCES
Our aim is to create a tailor made experience for each individual. The best way to do this is to get as
much information as we can about you. The more you share with us the more we can do for you. We
therefore encourage you to fill out the attached preference forms or help us fill it out for you during
our follow up call. We are especially interested to know if you have any allergies or dietary restrictions
in order to anticipate your needs.
We’re committed to tailoring your experience and especially your room to your preference. Whether
it is the type of pillow or if you want your electronics disengaged for the holidays we would be delighted to make it special. The more you tell us, the more we can do to anticipate your needs. Thus,
please take time to fill out as many details as you can about your needs and desires.

SEDER & PRAYER
We will be offering an option for guests to pray with an Ashkenaz or a
Sephardic minyan. The Ashkenaz minyan will be led by Rabbi Grauer and

SEDER PREFERENCES
We know how important it is to have a wonderful family Seder experience and would like to help
orchestrate the perfect one for your family. We would be delighted to set up your Seder table
in the manner you prefer. Please fill out the attached detailed form and let us know if there is
anything else we can do to please everyone. Joint Seders will take place in the hotel’s ballrooms.
We have a host of private Seder options for a more intimate option.
CHILDREN’S PRIZE PROGRAM
We all know Pesach is about our children but sometimes we
focus so much on getting through the Hagadah and the seuda
itself that we relegate child engagement to the Ma Nishtana
and Afikomen. In an effort to get your children more involved
and excited we have developed a fabulous optional program.
We will provide you with a list of age appropriate
questions (and answers) to ask your family during the Seder. We
will also give you Monopoly-style dollars to give each child as
they answer questions correctly. After the 2 nights each child
can use their dollars towards the “purchase” of a full stock of
prizes. You can choose to have your own private store of prizes for your family or let them come to our “general” store. We’ll
have prizes available for children age 2 – 12. We suggest you
purchase $50 worth of “Seder Dollars” per child which will cost
you US$25.
PRIVATE SEDERS
For a more intimate Seder experience you may elect to have a private Seder with your family in a
private dining room. If you would like a private dining room and don’t already have one confirmed
please contact Jon Arbisfeld at 212-335-0828.
We would be delighted to tailor your private Seder:
PLATING: Our standard Seder service is a la cart where guests can order off of a premium menu for dinner. Alternatively, we can arrange to serve your family as follows:
Family Style – we will serve individual appetizers and soup and put a selection of all entrees in the center of your family table just like home.
Buffet - we will serve individual appetizers and soup and put a selection of all
entrees on a buffet table in your private dining room.
OTHER PREFERENCES: If you have any other preferences whether it is the type of
haggadah or the vintage of wine, please let us know.

Remède was ranked as the #1 Hotel Spa in the World by Travel + Leisure 2014
The Remède Spa at the St. Regis Aspen Resort is open 7 days a week & currently features an innovative new spa treatment: Farm-to-Massage-Table (FTMT). A twist on the already popular Farm-to-Table
concept, FTMT uses locally-sourced and natural ingredients to fully seduce all the senses in a multi-dimensional five course spa experience. FTMT allows the guest to taste what they’ve smelled, sensed and seen;
to treat one’s body as a palate and to be scrubbed, massaged and fed. We invite you to experience this
exceptionally tailored service in full or à-la-carte.
For some, Remède Spa is a state of relaxation and complete serenity; for others it is the essence of
reviving and rejuvenating. Individual attention, personal service and signature touches are just steps from
your door.
Signature Spa Service
The Remede Customized Massage – Whether you seek relief for overexerted muscles, or simply want
to let your mind and body escape reality, your Massage Therapist will customize your treatment using a variety of techniques to achieve ultimate relaxation, rejuvenation, and results. Based on your preference, each
massage includes a selection of luxurious products including aromatherapy, a warm paraffin foot wrap and
a scalp massage with essential oils. As with all our services, they include daily access to the spa amenities,
including the plunge pools, steam room, oxygen lounge, complimentary champagne and nibbles.

We will be adding on 15 hair stylists to the St. Regis’ already extensive team. In addition to the hotel’s hair salon we will have stylists available to do your hair in your room and we will also be setting
up a Dry Bar styled blow-out experience for ladies. The Dry Bar will be an oasis to unwind, sip on
a cup of coffee or champagne, and relax with fellow ladies. The salon will also be staffed with wig
specialists for those who need wigs styled.
As you can imagine, there will be heavy demand for the salon in the hours preceding the 2 holidays
and Shabbat. Thus, we strongly suggest you book your salon treatments in advance to avoid
disappointment.
Cancelation Policy: If you regrettably need to cancel, please allow 48-hour notice to avoid
cancellation fee. All changes or no-shows within 48 hours will be charged to the individual at one

DINING
27
As you know, Prime Passover’s approach to dining is unique in that we are offering over six on site dining
venues throughout your stay in addition to “remote” lunch restaurants on Chol Hamoed. In addition to a
traditional ballroom space three a la cart restaurants will be open every evening for dinner, by reservation
only, with open seating for lunch. We’ve also carefully planned meals to avoid repetitious settings and take
advantage of the beautiful outdoors as much as possible.
As restaurants will surely be popular we strongly recommend advanced reservations. Also please note that
while normally restaurants cannot accommodate more than 10 per table we will be able to make certain
exceptions with a pre-set menu. Larger parties, however, will be best served in the main ballroom which will
offer open seating.
Also note that on evenings that are not holidays or Shabbat our main ballroom will have open seating and
feature entertainment at approximately 10:00pm. In addition to dining tables, we will also have theater
style seating for those dining in other restaurants that want to attend a performance after dinner. A separate Viennese dessert buffet will be set up by the ballroom for your convenience.
SUPERVISION
All culinary preparations are under strict rabbinic supervision by Rabbi Rabbi Mendel Mintz in accordance
with the more stringent Ashkenazic custom. Every meal will offer a selection of gebrokts and non-gebrokts
in addition to a vegetarian and healthy option.

THE CHEF
29
CHEF DAVID VIVIANO
Rumor has it that Chef David Viviano’s first sentence was
“Momma makes the pasta.” This Italian toddler made his parents proud
with that remark. I guess he was destined to become a chef.
Viviano joined the St. Regis Aspen team as Executive Chef in June
2013. He began his career there by opening Trecento Quindici Decano – a casual Italian restaurant with a menu inspired by Viviano’s
heritage.
Prior to Aspen, Viviano was Executive Chef at the Westin Phoenix
Downtown, which he opened in March 2011. He relocated from Detroit’s Westin Book Cadillac where he was Executive Sous Chef to
assume the reins of downtown Phoenix’s first luxury hotel and AAA Four
Diamond award winner.
While earning a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, Viviano honed his craft at a local Italian
restaurant. His love of cooking began at his family table and kitchen where he explains that “What’s for dinner?” was the first
question of the day. He has fond memories of feasting on his Sicilian grandmother’s veal scaloppini, barbecuing over hot
coals with his father, and hand rolling meatballs with his mother.
What followed was an impressive succession of positions with high-end restaurants/hotels from California to Michigan and
Arizona. While at the Jardinière in San Francisco, the restaurant received rave reviews from the San Francisco Chronicle and
a James Beard Award nomination.
In Detroit, at the age of 25 Viviano was given his first Executive Chef post at the fine dining restaurant Shiraz. In addition,
he worked at the Ritz-Carlton and MGM Grand, both AAA Four Diamond Award winners. Throughout his career Viviano has
been on the opening team for two hotels, two restaurants and one casino.
As Executive Chef of The St. Regis Aspen, Viviano’s responsibilities run the gamut from the administrative to the creative to
cooking side by side with his team. His favorite realm, however, is mentoring his staff and working closely with culinary students
to develop new talent.
As a true believer in karma and that what goes around, comes around, Viviano enthusiastically responds to requests from
community and local charities. The American Liver Foundation, The Phoenix Art Museum, The Phoenix Children’s Museum, The
Desert Botanical Garden, Celebración Artística de las Américas and Share Our Strength are just some of the organizations
he has assisted in the past.
In addition, Viviano regularly supported The Community Kitchen - a life skills and food service training program for those with
barriers to employment. Students gain the skills to get jobs offering livable wages, benefits, and opportunities for advancement through hands-on food service training as well as classroom studies.
Viviano is excited to identify charitable organizations within Aspen and help support the local community.
Recently Viviano has also been able to explore his other passion of writing. He was a monthly contributor for Food and
Flourish magazine and Ciao Bella blog
