EMP WINTER HOUSE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH AMERICAN EXPRESS SET TO OPEN ON
DECEMBER 15 AT CHEFS CLUB AT THE ST. REGIS IN ASPEN, CO
AMERICAN EXPRESS® CARD MEMBERS HAVE EXCLUSIVE ACCESS TO RESERVATIONS
STARTING ON NOVEMBER 15
Following two successful summers in the Hamptons at EMP Summer House,
American Express (NYSE: AXP) and the Make It Nice team are joining
forces again to bring the first EMP Winter House to Aspen, CO. EMP
Winter House in partnership with American Express will be located at
Chefs Club at The St. Regis and will be open from December 15, 2018
through April 6, 2019. Reservations for the new pop-up restaurant will
open exclusively for American Express Card Members on November 15th.
As a more casual outpost of New York’s iconic Eleven Madison Park, EMP
Winter House in partnership with American Express will offer an à la
carte menu inspired by Chef Daniel Humm’s upbringing in Switzerland. The
menu will feature dishes such as Smoked Trout Toast, Veal Schnitzel, and
Fondue, as well as an extensive wine list with over 250 wines. In
addition to the daily dinner menu, the restaurant will offer an Après
Ski menu with seasonal snacks and beverages each afternoon.
“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.”
Echoing Guidara’s sentiments, Chef Daniel Humm shared that “Each
creation on the EMP Winter House menu hits so close to home for me
personally. To be able to share these dishes with guests as they dine in
Aspen is incredibly special.”

EMP Winter House, American Express Card Members will also get exclusive

Express Global
Dining Collection. The first being a By

opening weekend by giving Platinum Card Members a first look and taste
of the EMP Winter House before it opens to the public.
“Like our Card Members, we are passionate about dining and are proudly
