Aspen truly is a top year-round destination for adventurers, sports enthusiasts, music, theatre, and art makers and lovers, business moguls, leaders and dignitaries, scholars, thinkers and writers, dedicated boutique shoppers, dreamers and creatives, and quite a few celebrities.
Aspen in summer is fully in bloom, its abundant natural wonders on display along with its distinguished cultural contributions, highlighted by the internationally acclaimed Aspen Music Festival, top-tier art exhibitions, culinary festivals, conferences, and concerts. Aspen is a fusion of reverence for nature and the outdoors with opulent indulgence and refined sophistication. The burgeoning cultural scene embraces the Aspen founding fathers and mothers’ visions centered on building a town dedicated to cultivating the mind, body, and spirit in this once humble and secluded valley.
Among Aspen’s wonders, The Little Nell hotel claims the impressive distinction of being Aspen’s only Five-Star, Five-Diamond, ski-in/ski-out hotel. This prized piece of real estate has been catapulted across history to its prestigious present, once a pristine hunting ground of the Ute tribe, a rough and tumble mining camp with the nearby silver mine claim notoriously named, The Little Nell, a depot and railroad stop, early ski lift base, and popular water hole for ski bums, free spirits, college kids, and locals in the ’60s and ’70s.
In 1989, the vision of the newest iteration of The Little Nell as a boutique hotel was realized at last with contemporary architecture and innovative interior and drawing a cosmopolitan. On an ongoing basis, masterful renovations orchestrated by prominent international designers have elevated The Little Nell to the heights of incomparable style and sophistication recognized worldwide, highlighted by curated details in design and decor, fine art and luxury amenities, sustainable gardens, exceptional dining, the signature personalized service afforded to all guests, and the natural gifts of breathtaking mountain views and preferred ease of slope accessibility.
