The Little Nell

The Little Nell is the only ski-in/ski-out hotel at the base of Aspen Mountain and the undisputed flagship luxury address in the Aspen market, a Forbes Five-Star property whose position at the gondola base, Element 47 restaurant, and commitment to personalized service at the highest possible level have made it the most consistently awarded and sought-after ski hotel in the United States. The ski-in/ski-out access to the most prestigious of Aspen's four mountains, combined with the Forbes Five-Star designation and the culinary program at Element 47, gives it a combination of location, product quality, and service that no other Aspen property can fully replicate. For planners whose groups include serious skiers who want the most direct mountain access combined with the highest tier of luxury service and dining in Aspen, The Little Nell is the definitive answer. Similar properties worth benchmarking include Hotel Jerome for historic Aspen character and Sonnenalp Vail for the best ski hotel experience in the Vail market.
