SCOUT REVIEW

The Little Nell is Aspen’s crown jewel, offering an unmatched combination of slope access, luxury amenities, and flawless service. It’s the only five-star, five-diamond ski-in ski-out property in town, sitting directly at the base of Aspen Mountain next to the Silver Queen Gondola. For serious skiers and snowboarders who want the easiest access possible, The Little Nell is unrivaled.

Inside, the hotel exudes understated luxury, with warm contemporary décor, artful design touches, and a lively yet refined atmosphere. Rooms and suites are spacious, featuring fireplaces, deep soaking tubs, and large windows with either mountain or town views. Expect the highest standard of bedding and bathrooms—exactly what you’d want after a day carving Aspen Snowmass slopes.

The service here is legendary, with staff known for anticipating guests’ needs before they even ask. The Ski Concierge team is a standout, taking care of everything from boot warmers to lift tickets, ensuring the only thing you need to worry about is enjoying your runs.

Dining is a highlight, with Element 47 offering fine dining and a world-class wine program, while Ajax Tavern has a vibrant slope-side patio perfect for après-ski (the truffle fries are a must). The outdoor pool, hot tubs, spa treatments, and well-equipped fitness center round out the relaxation side, while luxury touches like private transportation and pet pampering elevate the experience even further.

While The Little Nell comes with a price tag to match its reputation, for those seeking the very best in Aspen luxury—both on and off the slopes—it is without question the top choice.

Who should stay here

Ideal for luxury travelers, couples, and serious skiers who want ski-in ski-out convenience with five-star service. Also perfect for those who want to be at the center of Aspen’s social and culinary scene.
