The Little Nell – Aspen

FacebookTwitter

Little Nell is Aspen’s most popular resort, being the only ski-in, ski-out hotel in the town. Having the most coveted spot in Aspen, it connects all sorts of activities and conveniences to every type of traveler.

Starting its operations in 1989, the hotel was built in the same location where a ski resort previously stood. It sits at the base of Aspen Mountain and got its name from an uphill old mine named after a lady of the night, Little Nell.

Being in the heart of downtown Aspen, it’s only 3 miles or a 5-minute drive away from Aspen Airport, and 175 miles from Denver. It’s within close proximity to other landmarks such as the Silver Queen Gondola, Mill Street Fountain, and Wheeler Opera House. The Little Nell attracts a great variety of clients, including business moguls, celebrities, and political dignitaries.
