Overview


Opened in 1989 at the base of Aspen Mountain, The Little Nell is built on the site of the town's original silver-mining settlement and its first ski lift. Named after a famous local mining claim, the hotel’s architecture is a sophisticated evolution of "mountain-chic," designed to feel like a residential alpine lodge rather than a traditional resort. It is the only ski-in/ski-out hotel in the city, standing as a testament to the "Aspen Idea"—the postwar vision of Walter Paepcke to create a center for mind, body, and spirit. The building functions as a cultural hub, blending rugged mountain history with an extensive collection of museum-quality contemporary art.
