Summer hunting ground of the Ute Indians. Miners’ retreat. Railroad stop and depot. Grazing pasture for the Aspen Dairy. Ski lift. Skiers’ watering hole. In 1989, history was made again as Aspen’s only Five-Star, Five-Diamond hotel rose to prominence on the site. Named after a mining claim originally located not far uphill from where the hotel sits today, it wasn’t long before the hotel began attracting a diverse international clientele, including celebrities, dignitaries, Fortune 500 magnates and political leaders. Aspen today is a product of its past – a little bit silver, a little bit soul. It is a crossroads of wild mountain and electric city, a gathering place for a community that comes from all over the world. Walter Paepcke’s brainchild of culture and commerce is flourishing in this unique microclimate, up here on the great Continental Divide. The Little Nell hotel opened its doors in 1989. It was built on the site of a funky ski-bum bar dating from 1947 by the same name, at the foot of the slope where the original mine shaft had been dug – the one named after that lady of the night. It was the only ski-in, ski-out access to Aspen Mountain (and it still is). In 1991, we earned Five Diamonds from the American Automobile Association, and in 1996, earned Five Stars from Forbes Travel Guide (we have earned them again every year since). Today the Aspen experience is a heady cocktail of invigorating mountain air and mental stimulation.
The Little Nell is Aspen's only five-star, five-diamond property, and the only hotel with ski-in, ski-out access to historic Aspen Mountain. Guests of The Little Nell enjoy luxury services and unparalleled access to America's most famous mountain town. A cosmopolitan yet intimate ambiance provides a welcome respite from the hectic pace of modern living. An intuitive and thoughtful staff deliver the finest in haute cuisine, exclusive adventures and amenities designed to rejuvenate the mind, body and spirit. The city of Aspen is at The Little Nell's front door, while Aspen mountain is at its back door. And in between both is a gathering place for the brave and the bright. From the kitchens to the cellars, with their 20,000 bottles of wine, from the Concierges in the lobby to the Concierges on the mountains, and from family adventure to après ski, this hotel is, as guests have said, "the Aspen of Aspen." Relax in the elegance and ease of The Little Nell: Aspen's most legendary hotel.
