Overview

The Little Nell sits at the base of Aspen Mountain, a few steps from the Silver Queen Gondola. It is Aspen's only Five-Star, Five-Diamond hotel, ski-in and ski-out, with 92 rooms spread across guest rooms, suites and six named luxury suites. Rooms are divided between Town Side and Mountain Side outlooks, with premium categories in each direction adding more space and, in many cases, a balcony.

Element 47 is the hotel's Michelin Guide-recommended flagship restaurant, and its subterranean wine cellar holds more than 20,000 bottles, a collection that has earned the Wine Spectator Grand Award for 29 consecutive years. Ajax Tavern, The Wine Bar and 24-hour in-room dining complete the food and drink offer, with The Board Room available for private meetings and gatherings.

The Spa at The Little Nell is the only ski-in, ski-out spa in Aspen, set beside a fitness centre fitted with Woodway treadmills, Peloton bikes and Technogym equipment. The hotel opened in 1989 on the site of Aspen's original silver mine. Guests can also arrange a complimentary test drive of an electric Audi Q6 e-tron or Q7 through the hotel's Audi Experience, and pets are welcomed throughout the property.
