“The Little Nell understands Aspen, delivering ski-in/ski-out access with a level of polish that feels both effortless and deeply considered. I'm particularly drawn to the hotel's curated wine experiences, expertly guided by on-site sommeliers, and I consider the Alpine chic decor, punctuated with original contemporary art, a genuine expression of place, and that's what makes the hotel special.”
