SNOWMASS, CO, October 1, 2007. Related WestPac and Kor Hotel Group announced today that Viceroy Snowmass will be built as the anchor hotel to Snowmass' new base village. The groundbreaking will take place this fall, and Viceroy Snowmass is slated to open in early winter 2009/2010. Related WestPac, which purchased the Snowmass base village project from Aspen Skiing Company and Intrawest in March 2007, has designed Viceroy Snowmass to be one of the first LEED-certified silver hotels in North America. Located just minutes from Aspen Mountain at the base of Snowmass' Assay Hill lift, Viceroy Snowmass is set to be a ski-in/ski-out property, currently approved as a 236-unit condominium hotel.

Viceroy Snowmass will be operated by Kor Hotel Group, the Los Angeles-based hotel operator, manager and owner of the Viceroy Resorts & Residences brand. The Viceroy brand offers luxurious and modern amenities, unique eco-friendly design and an energetic atmosphere in unforgettable locations. Every Viceroy destination re-imagines the essence of style and service, and inspires discriminating guests and residents to indulge in glamour, reinterpret cultural traditions, and redefine their notions of luxury. Current Viceroy properties include Viceroy Santa Monica and Viceroy Palm Springs. Under development are Viceroy Miami at Icon Brickell, Viceroy Riviera Maya at Mayakoba on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula and Viceroy Snowmass in Colorado, as well as Kor's initial overseas venture, Viceroy Anguilla in the British West Indies. Viceroyhotelsandresorts.com is the official launch site for Viceroy hotels and resorts.

"We are proud that Kor Hotel Group has chosen Snowmass, Colorado for its latest Viceroy venture and thrilled to be developing one of the first LEED silver hotels in the nation. Snowmass has a tremendous legacy built on its breathtaking natural beauty and striving for the ambitious silver certification will play a key role in the creation of the preeminent multi-season resort community and one of the globe's most environmentally respectful destinations" said Patrick N. Smith, president of Related WestPac.

Viceroy Snowmass will offer its guests uncompromising mountain resort amenities and service including a 7,000 square-foot spa, fitness center, year-round swimming pool, a kids club, a business center, casual and fine dining, flexible conference space, and ski valet facilities.

"We're excited to be developing our first mountain resort in Snowmass, Colorado," said Brad Korzen, CEO of Kor Hotel Group. "Snowmass appeals to a sophisticated national and international clientele, but presently the area offers no design-savvy properties with high-end amenities that speak to the level of service consumers anticipate. Our Viceroy luxury product will fulfill that need."

The new $1 billion development at the Snowmass Base Village will include more than one million square feet of residential, hotel, restaurant, retail and conference space, all strategically located at the base of what is arguably the finest ski and snowboard mountains in the world and only minutes from the center of Aspen and the base of Aspen Mountain. Upon completion, the development will include 346 condominiums, 64,000 square feet of shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants, 15,000 square feet of conference space, the 236-unit Viceroy hotel, The Little Nell Snowmass, an aquatic center and much more.
