The Little Nell

'The Little Nell isn't just ski-in, ski-out luxury—it's the only five-star hotel sitting directly at the base of Aspen Mountain, where après-ski culture was practically invented.' What's Special? This Forbes Five-Star property boasts the most coveted location in Aspen, with direct access to the Silver Queen Gondola. The hotel's name honors Nell, a beloved burro who carried supplies up the mountain during Aspen's silver mining days in the 1880s. Each suite features heated bathroom floors and custom furnishings, while the rooftop terrace offers panoramic views of the Elk Mountains. Don't Miss Element 47's award-winning cuisine pairs perfectly with their 20,000-bottle wine cellar, while the hotel's complimentary house cars (including a Bentley fleet) provide stylish transportation around town. The nearby Maroon Bells, just 30 minutes away, are among the most photographed peaks in North America.
