The Little Nell
Aspen's Five-Star, five-diamond Luxury Hotel
Winter never goes out of style at The Little Nell. For nearly four decades, The Little Nell has set the standard for warm luxury with an independent streak in one of the world’s most illustrious locations. Not by declaring it, but by earning it, one considered detail at a time. At the base of Aspen Mountain, access comes naturally. Mornings begin on the slopes, afternoons unfold at Element 47, and evenings find their way to exactly where they should. Award-winning dining, expansive accommodations, and Aspen's only slopeside spa — held together by a way of hosting that is deeply personal and distinctly Aspen.
Nearly four decades of Forbes Travel Guide recognition. The standard hasn't changed. Neither has the address.

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.
