As the crisp mountain air fills your lungs, the majestic peaks of Aspen stand proudly as your backdrop. Welcome to The Little Nell, a sanctuary where the thrill of alpine adventure meets the pinnacle of luxury living. Here, every detail is a whisper of sophistication and every moment is steeped in exclusivity.

From the moment you step into the elegantly appointed lobby, The Little Nell envelops you in warmth and grandeur. The crackle of the fireplace in the lounge sets a welcoming tone, inviting you to unwind in style. Your room, one of 92 meticulously designed guestrooms, is a haven of tranquility. Each features a private balcony where you can sip your morning coffee while soaking in the breathtaking mountain vistas. The glow of your personal fireplace complements the luxurious textures around you—from plush down comforters to deep soaking bathtubs, every element is curated for your comfort.

Embark on a culinary journey at Element 47, where each dish is a celebration of American cuisine with a twist. The freshest local ingredients are transformed into exquisite meals, paired perfectly with selections from an extensive wine list. For a more intimate experience, indulge in the 24-hour room service and enjoy a private dinner with views of the starlit Aspen skies.

Your adventure into relaxation continues at our full-service spa. Submit to the soothing hands of expert therapists in a setting that echoes the serenity of the surrounding landscape. Whether you choose a rejuvenating massage or a bespoke spa treatment, you will emerge refreshed and renewed.

Just steps from your door, Aspen beckons with its exclusive boutiques, vibrant cultural scene, and, of course, its world-renowned ski slopes. After a day of exploring or conquering the mountains, return to The Little Nell and relax by the outdoor pool, a perfect spot for après-ski relaxation where the water mirrors the sky as the sun sets over the Rockies.

As night falls, gather by the bar and lounge area, a stylish venue that invites you to unwind with a creative cocktail or a vintage from our acclaimed cellar. Here, under the soft lighting and amidst the gentle hum of conversation, you'll feel the pulse of Aspen's elite social scene.

At The Little Nell, every stay is an opportunity to create memories that linger long after you've departed. It's not just a visit; it's an experience that transcends the ordinary, where every moment is a brushstroke in the masterpiece of your journey. This is where your story of adventure and luxury is waiting to be written.

What we love about this stay

Request a mountain-facing room on an upper floor — the balcony at golden hour, when the last light hits Ajax, is the single best view in Aspen you'll have entirely to yourself. At Element 47, skip the main dining room and ask for a seat near the open kitchen; the energy is better, and the sommelier tends to linger there with off-menu pours from their 20,000-bottle cellar. Book spa treatments for mid-morning on a ski day — everyone else is on the mountain, and you'll have the place nearly empty. Evenings, the bar hums without trying too hard; order an old fashioned and settle into the corner banquette. The Nell rewards people who slow down — it's a place that gets better the less you rush it.

Ajax Tavern

Ajax Tavern

Set at the base of Aspen Mountain, Ajax Tavern at The Little Nell comes to life at lunch, and the energy rolls on well into the evening. If you go no further on the menu, try the truffle fries and Ajax double cheeseburger made with award-winning wagyu beef from Emma Farms CMC. Both have earned their reputation. The sun-drenched mountainside patio is Aspen's premier spot to see and be seen offering an après-ski menu in winter and live music on the Ajax Stage in summer.

The Wine Bar

The Wine Bar

At The Little Nell, indulge in the world of fine wine at The Wine Bar. Within a lounge atmosphere listening to a DJ play a wonderful selection of vinyl records, you'll appreciate its cushiony sofas and seating areas for parties of up to eight people. The Wine Bar boasts a plentiful collection of rare and award-winning wines recommended by a team of renowned sommeliers under the direction of Chris Dunaway. Enjoying a bold red or sparkling rosé with friends and family has never been so enjoyable. This intimate space is also available for personalized private events or dinners with a dedicated sommelier service, a DJ, and more...
