Aspen has long held the title of the most exclusive resort town in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, and The Little Nell holds top billing for 5-star accommodations. Not only is The Little Nell the only hotel in Aspen to boast ski-in, ski-out access to the mountain, but it also has easy access to all that the town has to offer.
If Aspen is where America’s elite go to escape the every day, The Little Nell is their gathering place. This fantastic hotel embodies the perfect combination of community and privacy. The concierge on hand is ready to accommodate any request from the mundane to the slightly unusual and will even call in advance to make sure all your needs are met before you arrive.
The 92 guest rooms offer a range of options to suit each individual’s needs, including suites, luxury suites, and private mountainside residences. Since the recent remodel, undertaken in 2017 by Champalimaud Design, the look is even more updated and modern while still embodying the cozy sophistication guests come to expect from Aspen. The Little Nell is also home to one of the best 5-star restaurants in town, Element 47, serving Colorado contemporary cuisine. The resort is where you’ll find one of the best après ski spots in town, Ajax Tavern, which sits at the base of the mountain. And you won’t want to miss the sundeck at the peak, just a 15-minute gondola ride from the hotel.
While luxury and comfort are key, a huge benefit is the ease of access to Aspen Mountain from The Little Nell’s front door. Aspen Mountain is a dream for mogul skiers and more intermediate skiers alike. In addition to the main runs, you also have access to Aspen Highlands and Buttermilk, which are great options for the less experienced skiers in your group.
While peak season if of course winter, when everyone flocks to the mountains for a ski adventure, The Nell is open year-round and offers great activities in the summer and fall as well. You can benefit from the quieter surroundings and take in the beauty of the mountains in a different season. Come for a summer getaway to observe the wide-open blue skies and mountain wildflowers while out on an off-road tour or take the family fly fishing. You won’t believe the colors that pop out each Autumn. It can be a truly remarkable and relaxing experience to come visit in the off season. The Little Nell is the perfect base camp for your next Aspen adventure.
