The Little Nell Legacy
Nestled at the base of Aspen Mountain, The Little Nell has been an icon of alpine luxury since opening its doors in 1989. Built on the site of Aspen’s original silver mine, the hotel carries forward the spirit of discovery that shaped the town’s earliest days. Over the decades, The Little Nell—Aspen’s only Five-Star, Five-Diamond hotel—has evolved through thoughtful design, world-class renovations, and partnerships with leading architects and artists, resulting in a space where contemporary mountain style meets an ever-evolving collection of original works. Today, guests are welcomed into an atmosphere where history, art, and elevated comfort converge seamlessly.
