At a glance

The only ski-in, ski-out hotel on Aspen Mountain, The Little Nell has held both Five-Star and Five-Diamond status for 30 consecutive years, a record no other Colorado property can match.

That combination of slope access and sustained recognition is what defines the hotel. Guests ski directly from Aspen Mountain to the front door, a convenience that sounds simple but fundamentally changes the rhythm of a ski trip.

Inside, the rooms and suites are designed around Aspen’s relaxed alpine character, sophisticated without being stiff, with every detail calibrated to feel right at altitude rather than transplanted from a city hotel. The dining programme deserves its own mention: Element 47 and Ajax Tavern are both established Aspen institutions, and the hotel’s subterranean wine cellar holds a Wine Spectator Grand Award, one of the most respected recognitions for a hotel wine programme.

In detail

Food and Drink

Dining at The Little Nell spans two restaurants and three bars, anchored by Element 47, the Michelin Guide-recommended flagship serving breakfast through dinner.

Ajax Tavern brings a more relaxed energy, with a sun-drenched mountain patio suited to après-ski. The Wine Bar, a private wine cellar, and in-room dining round out an offering overseen by expert sommeliers and chefs.
Spa and Wellness

The Little Nell’s wellness concept, branded “Nellness,” draws on the “Aspen Idea”: a philosophy aligning body, mind, and spirit.

Altitude-recovery spa treatments, a private fitness center, smart sleep technology, and custom wellness menus stand alongside seasonal dining and mountain adventures curated by an in-house Adventure Concierge. Wine dinners and signature events add a social dimension to a considered, whole-self approach to a luxury mountain stay.
Activities

The Little Nell stands at the foot of Aspen Mountain, giving guests immediate access to a year-round programme of curated adventures.

In winter, exclusive experiences include First Tracks and Snowcat Powder Tours; summer brings fly fishing and off-road touring. A complimentary Audi electric vehicle experience adds a contemporary edge, while an ongoing events calendar covers wine dinners, outdoor films, and community gatherings throughout the year.

The suites at The Little Nell are designed to feel more residential than a standard hotel room, with uncluttered, contemporary layouts and original works of art by Caio Fonseca, Robert Kelly, and Walter Niedermayr on the walls.

One- and two-bedroom options are available from 800 to 1,150 square feet, with gas fireplaces, steam showers, Jacuzzi soaking tubs, and Bryte Balance mattresses that allow guests to customise their sleep experience.

Luxury Suites

The Little Nell’s six luxury suites are each named after figures who shaped Aspen’s history, from architect Fritz Benedict, who studied under Frank Lloyd Wright, to the signature Little Nell Suite named after a silver mine from the town’s earliest days.

Ranging from 1,250 to 2,500 square feet, all feature private balconies with Aspen Mountain views, custom-designed furniture, and organic materials throughout. The Paepcke Suite, the largest, is widely considered the premier hotel suite in Aspen.
