The Little Nell

We just wrapped up a long weekend here during mud season. We had issue with the heat in our room which the staff quickly tried address and ended up moving up to the Roch suite. It was very generous and unexpected. From the time we arrived until we left the hospitality was top notch. The suite was fanastic and loved the fireplaces and balcony. The bed was a Bryte ‘smart’ which had variable firmess and interesting, soft rolling motion feature. Very comfortable ! Mini bar was stocked and all non- alcoholic beverages were complimentary. You can arrange for free airport transport. We ate Element 47 for breakfast (vegetable scramble was soooo good) and Ajax Tavern. Both were good. There is 24 room service, but the late night menu is light but nice to have the option. The hotel is within walking distance of everything, including the Rubey Transit location where you can catch a clean and free bus to Aspen Highlands Plaza to get the Maroon Bells shuttle. This hotel may not have the unique, location specific vibe of the Hotel Jerome ( our second choice and I recommend the J -Bar there), but we really wanted a fireplace and balcony and we loved our stay at the Little Nell. Thank you !

I really can’t say enough good things about The Little Nell. It is simply put, a gorgeous, extremely comfortable and welcoming high-end hotel, sparing no expense to make one’s stay as perfect as possible. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by name and treated like royalty by the professional and well-trained staff. Our room was perfect — a good size and well designed and furnished, lots of plugs for devices, a lot of hooks for hanging wet clothes, very comfortable bed with really nice linens, fire place, usable balcony, big tub and a separate walk-in shower, huge bath towels, heated floors, and complimentary snacks and soft-drinks. The fitness center is very nicely done, not huge but more than sufficient for a good workout, and clean and well taken care of. There is a modest size outdoor swimming pool and a jacuzzi. The library near the spa is worth a visit, just to enjoy the decor. As noted above, service is impeccable. The location adjacent to the gondola and ski lift is an obvious plus (though we visited in the summer, so the ski-in and out aspect of the hotel was not a factor for us), though note that the noise from the gondola is audible at the pool all day and was audible in our room when we had the balcony door open. Our mountain-facing room was extremely quiet at night; I am a noise sensitive sleeper and this is always a plus for me. The fabulous Rio Grande Trail is a short distance from the hotel and great for running and biking. All in all, it was very difficult to leave after three fabulous days at the Nell. This is a first rate hotel.

I had a wonderful stay. The staff was so friendly and any request met. They greeted us by name. Breakfast was delicious. The drivers punctual and friendly. I would like to note Brittany at the front desk went above and beyond to make our stay special. Thank you Little Nell!

A beautiful hotel right at the gondola on Ajax Mtn. The guys at the ski concierge were excellent as were a majority of the staff. The rooms were spacious and beautiful with free soft drinks and snacks restocked every day. They have free shuttles to all the other resorts on the half hour. Great holiday Our experience was that people go to Aspen to be seen and to see celebrities so the mountain was empty which suited me

My kid and I stayed at the Little Nell in April and had a fabulous time. The location is unbeatable, with a short walk to almost everywhere in town and at the base of the mountain. I did not get to ski as I’m a terrible skier and can only do greens, but anyone who can do blues and above will find it super convenient. The rooms are super spacious and ridiculously plush. I’ve never had such thick and soft carpet in any other hotel. All the linens were top grade, and loved that everything in the mini bar was complimentary (my son loved that part). Service was excellent without being overbearing. My son is already asking when we can come back.

The Little Nell was the perfect choice for a girls’ trip for Christmas shopping. We loved being able to walk anywhere we needed to go, or be driven in one of their SUVs to dinner. The staff was incredibly nice and friendly, and the rooms beautiful. We loved sitting by the fire at night and turning on a Christmas movie for a cozy experience. We plan to bring our families back with us to visit this December!
