The Little Nell

Aspen’s only Five-Star, Five-Diamond hotel has anchored the base of Aspen Mountain since 1989. Built atop the site of the town’s original silver mine, we provide direct ski-in, ski-out access that connects guests to the slopes. Our thirty years of Forbes Travel Guide recognition underscore a standard of hospitality that feels both personal and distinctly local. The property features luxurious rooms, suites, and residences designed to reflect the area’s relaxed elegance. Culinary experiences define our reputation, with two restaurants and three bars led by talented chefs and sommeliers. A Wine Spectator Grand Award-winning subterranean cellar offers an extensive tasting selection for wine enthusiasts. Wellness is central to the stay, featuring Aspen’s only ski-in, ski-out spa alongside restorative treatments and fitness options. Beyond the hotel walls, we arrange guided float fishing on the Roaring Fork River and off-road adventures in custom Audi vehicles. These excursions allow guests to explore high-alpine landscapes, summer wildflowers, and local wildlife with experienced guides. Every detail, from contemporary mountain design to original art collections, aims to help visitors feel restored and connected to the Aspen way of life.
