My wife and I stayed 7 nights at The Little Nell in the Benedict Suite and it was one of the best hotel experiences we've ever had. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality felt genuine and effortless. Concierge handled everything with ease--reservations, timing, recommendations, logistics--always responsive and proactive. Valet was consistently quick, organized, and friendly. Housekeeping/turndown was immaculate with great attention to detail, and the entire team made us feel taken care of without ever being overbearing. The food was outstanding across the board--whether dining on property or ordering in, everything was high quality and consistently delivered. Add in the prime location (including ski-in/ski-out access to Aspen Mountain) and you truly understand why this property has the reputation it does. If you want the definition of a 5-star experience in Aspen, this is it. read more

I am staying here now, and the air conditioner does not work. Aspen is very warm this week.

Service is amazing, people are amazing. But what they call a mountain side room may not have Mountain View rather just Mountajn side, so legally speaking it's not a misrepresentation but it is otherwise. One can get a street view room which is better price with far more privacy. Frankly I'll never come back here again, I normally stay at Jerome or Sr. Regis, so I will go back to those places. read more

We stayed at The Little Nell for a few nights at the end of ski season. As first-time visitors to Aspen, we chose the hotel for its ski-in-ski-out access and five-star reputation. Unfortunately, our experience fell far short of expectations. On the day we checked in, my husband and I (both Asian) stopped by Element 47, the hotel's lobby restaurant/bar, for light drinks and snacks. When we approached the host stand, the middle aged male host with facial hair told us he was prioritizing "house guests." Confused, I asked if he meant hotel guests. He confirmed, and I clarified that we were indeed staying at The Little Nell. The fact that he assumed otherwise without asking made us feel uncomfortable and singled out. Given the hotel's predominantly white clientele, it felt like an assumption rooted in how we looked. No guest should ever be made to feel out of place based on their appearance. Beyond that unfortunate encounter, the overall service lacked the warmth and attentiveness one would expect at this price point. Front desk staff were polite but cold. On the third day of our stay, the hotel conducted loud rooftop maintenance to remove ice, but failed to notify guests. My husband had injured himself snowboarding and needed to rest that afternoon, but the noise was unbearable. There was no advance warning - no written note, no verbal mention, nothing. Had we known, I would have found him a quieter place to recover. But still, at over $1,000 a night, you'd expect to comfortably enjoy your room at any hour. When we shared our feedback on the issues above with the manager on duty the day we checked out, his response was, "How do you want to be compensated?" That lack of accountability was disappointing and not at all in line with what we expected from a luxury resort. I also would advise skipping the spa at the Little Nell. I received a less than mediocre massage from Chanta, who seemed distracted during the service - often pausing for seconds at a time for no apparent reason. FYI - a 20% gratuity is automatically included with all services. Overall, The Little Nell felt overrated and underwhelming. Staff training, especially around cultural awareness and guest care, needs serious improvement. Next time we visit Aspen, we'll be staying at Hotel Jerome instead. read more

We stayed at the Little Nell December 17-23. We picked this particular hotel because it has a Forbes 5-star rating and we had certain expectations for our stay considering the reviews, ratings, and lastly the price. It was a pure disappointment from day 1. Every day was a new disappointment but I'll pick a few callouts for this review. Covid safety - The number one thing is the Covid protocols that they seemed to completely ignore. There was no consistency, some of their staff was wearing masks, some didn't. I saw a maskless bartender at their restaurant cough while making a drink. As more guests kept arriving, things got a little bit better, I assume there were many complaints. Bar & Restaurant - Speaking of the bar and restaurants - we had lunch on our arrival. We waited over 90 minutes for our food. It took the server over 35 min to take our order. They apologized and blamed it on new seasonal staff due to Covid. I simply can't be forgiving considering their Forbes rating. We stayed at Stein Eriksen and other Forbes hotels during Covid and the service was exactly what you would expect from a place with this reputation. While eating we overheard another bartender literally complaining about her work conditions, about her managers and about her colleagues. It was very uncomfortable and unprofessional. The hotel staff said that the restaurant staff is new and had to be trained fresh. Yes, it was very obvious! Concierge - they always seemed stressed out and with their heads down in their computers. Every question we had they answered politely but they were bothered by it. I believe simply because they had a ton of emails that were waiting for them. They weren't present at all. Room service - every single breakfast order they would mess op somehow. They couldn't get it right with medium boiled eggs. It was either running or hard boiled. They blamed it on the altitude. We googled it for them and sent it to the chef. It was miserable and laughable. Noise - we were hoping to get some rest but there was turmoil, grinding, and all kind of noises outside our window around 5am. I have no clue what they were doing. I kept calling the front desk to report the disturbance. Free transportation- They offer free transportation to the local mountains, they charge to the Snowmass. Our pickup at the Buttermilk was 30 min late one day. Not even an apology, and we booked it in advance. To be honest this list can go on and on forever, but in short, we'll never be back. It's all hype and no results. The only ok thing is the ski concierge but to be honest every mountain hotel has a similar concept so nothing special about it. Very disappointing. We really wanted to like The Little Nell. read more

A fantastic selection. Bartender Luke is knowledgeable and makes great drinks. Highly recommended.

WOW! This was our 4th time staying at the little nell. We walk into our suite and my personal sheets I bought 2 years ago were on the bed. What? So classy! The dinners are some of the best meals we have ever had @ Element 47!!! So thoughtful and special and delicious. All the staff is amazing and we enjoyed getting to know Erin in the bar as well as the GM. The rooms are perfect, the staff is perfect, and the whole vibe is very fancy but super casual about it. The Ski concierges are amazing too! Wow...when you pooped or just woke up they are putting your boots on and grabbing your poles and skis with a smile. We adore these guys!!! They forgot to pack my skis as we left and overnighted them free of charge. We travel all over the planet and this spot is right up there as our top spot to visit. The Skiing is a blast too and the gondola being right outside the concierge's spot couldn't be any easier or fancy! I just love this spot and they helped me, my wife, and 2 friends with some of our fav memories ever! With love Jeffery David, Linda, Todd, and Elaine!!!!! read more

Extremely overpriced, but not more so than everything in Aspen is. This expensive hot chocolate is phenomenal, though, and has earned it's worldwide fame. The chocolate itself is rich and flavorful, and pairs well with the light whipped cream and shaved chocolate. Then the homemade marshmallows just melt In your mouth. Got this along with the truffle fries, and wasn't disappointed. Enjoy on a cold winter night! (from @tastessky on Instagram) read more

The old adage is that people make the experience. We walked in after a missed connection and 4 hour drive on Thursday at 2:30AM from Denver and were greeted by two kind faces that seemingly were just waiting for us. That was our first experience with the Little Nell and it continued until we left on Sunday. There was no drop-off in affability or assistance anywhere--concierge, front desk, fitness area, poolside, shuttle service, cleaning crew were all top notch. I would also specifically mention Chase who not only felt like our own personal guide, but also made our sunset off-road adventure a unique and memorable experience. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped with everything you need. The facilities are reasonably updated also. The location is perfect. Don't be scared away by the cost as you will definitely feel like you received more than you paid for in retrospect. We will most certainly look forward to returning some day. Thank you--Ken & Tammy read more

Most definitely one of the most refined dining experiences to be found in Aspen is at the Little Nell Hotel dining room. You know it's always a great sign when the chef becomes the general manager. Understanding what happens in the kitchen and on the floor of the restaurant will only lead to an outstanding experience that truly is developed with focus on every detail of the dining experience. I found myself wowed by the flavor and presentation of every single dish served for the dinner meal. I also found myself thinking about why I keep coming back to this outstanding restaurant every single time I am in Aspen. read more

Do not book this place. I was diagnosed with a very serious medical condition and can't travel to this hotel because of the altitude. The manager refused to refund my money despite medical documentation forbidding my travel. Their cruel and heartless behavior is unconscionable.

Beautiful hotel! Riley the manager is truly so friendly and makes the experience even better. From start to finish highly recommend l.

We came here for thanksgiving dinner. The staff and service were awesome. The food was why I gave them a 2 star. Even though the turkey was delicious but the issue was with the sides. They were ice cold. Not warm but it seemed like they brought it out of the fridge and left it out for 10 min and brought it to the table. Unfortunately the food came out so late that we knew if we send it back by the time they would return our food would be finished. I asked for extra gravy and they came back when I was taking my last bite. Dessert was way below average! read more

The worst. Used to stay there in the early 00's Made a reservation and have been totally disappointed. You'd think that by storied reputation this hotel would act like a 5 Star Hotel. No such luck. Call the concierge to have a dozen roses for my wife upon arrival. A simple request for the Four Seasons or the Ritz Carlton these people wanted me to send them a copy of my drivers license and my credit card front and back with authorization for them to use it apparently having my credit card on file at the front desk wasn't good enough. unfortunately we had to cancel our trip to Aspen and trying to cancel our room was yet another fiasco like the Four Seasons or the Ritz Carlton normally you can call the front desk and simply cancel the person at the front desk was at best obnoxious. he simply transferred me twice to an automated system that said that I could leave a detailed message and specifically that if I was calling to make a payment that it was OK to leave my information as well. left twist no choice I left a message and canceled my reservation I can assure you that the next time I wanna stay in Aspen I will stay at the Saint Regis and not this sorry rude obnoxious excuse for what was a landmark property and is now well nothing actually. read more

This is such a cool hotel. I absolutely adore it. I stayed here a few years ago on a weekend trip when I lived in Denver. They treat you right here. Staff goes out of their way to make sure guests have what they need. Their hot chocolate is amazing and the hotel is at the base of a mountain. I do not ski but loved seeing all those talented skiers come down the mountain. I stayed in a room with an amazing view of the mountain. I imagine no room here has a bad view. They have Molton Brown soaps and lotions in the public restrooms. How cool is that?? They are centrally located in the perfect town of Aspen (my favorite place in the USA) How could you not like a place called The Little Nell?? The cutest name for the coziest hotel in Aspen. read more

Where do I start? From Henning and Stephen at the car stand, to Chris the Wine Director and the above average housekeeping team, everyone here is dedicated to creating an unforgettable experiences for their guests.

A week later, and I'm still amazed by this hotel. Without a doubt, it's the best hotel in Aspen. read more

Google I wish my experience was as remarkable as others. Sadly too many thiNgs went wrong. The morning after i arrived there was lots of noise from a family or 2 down the hallway at 8 AM. THE NOISE CONTINUED 45 min. I reported to the front desk. They said a large party was checking out. Ok. But i needed sleep above everything and this incident affected my entire day. A woman named georgina apologized. There are no childfree areas at this hotel. One thing management of any upscale 5* establishment should be aware of is that solo/couples/childfree people are quieter and utilize far less services as families . I paid hundreds of dollars for my room and a family of 4/5 paid the same. This means families are more exploitive in the first place even before they use up more towels and services, amenities And create more noise.They stay cheaper than i do : a quiet, low key solo traveler. I was waken by the noise of kids running down the hall The hotel has cameras on every floor and could have managed the chaos because the party was large ( a wedding) and they could anticipate unruly guests or children. I took photos of the kids in the hall. I went out for the day and had DND on my door from the beginning. I came back and they entered my room to leave wine and an uncovered tray of cheese and crackers I was livid. My DND sign was breached. This was intolerable!! The last straw for me. I called and again Georgina apologized. Meanwhile i dont drink wine. I never would eat food that was uncovered. Gross There were many phone calls to my room which were intrusive , then housekeeping cards under the door. I know how to summon housekeeping if i needed them. I dont need annoying calls and cards. It was annoying. They even called my house back home about a package a local store delivered to me. Meanwhile my cell number was stapled to the bag. I left my dog with bellboys at front. I got a ride from them to jerome for a bite to eat since both eateries at little nell closed at 9. I told the young man to call the number clearly written on my dogs vest if they needed me. She was lonely and they called my home number on the east coast and disturbed them AGAIN unnecessarily. I SPECIFICALLY TOLD one guy to call the number on her vest. My instructions were not followed Nothing but inexcusable headaches and cheap apologies . I think my room was around $800 a night. It was not worth it. Back to jerome or the W i shall go Rooms at little nell are ok but not near as nice as hotel jerome I just cant afford to deal with lack of sleep due to large or loud families and breached privacy. My impression of this property has really gone down significantly. Years ago i came here for a special liquid nitrogen margarita. They no longer carry it. The staff has been friendly. It's management that dropped the ball, even though i had asked for senior management during my breakfast, i was told he was in a meeting. Georgina was the only one sent to me . Personally i think my account of things going wrong is quite significant. Management was not concerned really. For stays with outstanding pools i suggest st regis, hotel jerome or mountain chalet ( the chalet has a huge steaming heated pool and indoor large hot tub) jerome has 2 hot tubs and a pool in a private courtyard. Little nells pool is small and borders the outdoor dining room of element 47 making your swim not private at all. during my stay i did not even swim. It was not inviting and the pool liner or surface was dark. Just not attractive. Live and learn read more

My husband and I wanted to plan a long-weekend babymoon within driving distance from Denver and on which we could bring our dog. After doing much research and talking with friends about options, we decided to relax in Aspen at The Little Nell -- and it was it one of the best decisions we could have made! Not only was the staff so welcoming and accommodating, but they were also kind and generous enough to upgrade us to a mountain-side suite that was INCREDIBLE. It was easily one of the nicest hotel rooms in which we've ever stayed and made our weekend extra special. I could go on and on about our room... The two fireplaces, gorgeous dining area, super comfortable bed, views of the slopes, awesome complimentary mini-bar, great technology features (loved the Google Chromecast set up so we could watch Netflix, HBO, etc. through our iPad on the tv!), wonderful doggie amenities, and beautiful bathroom complete with a large soaking tub made our pre-baby getaway weekend the relaxing and restful time for which we were hoping. Every single team member was welcoming and it was so nice to stay in a place where our (very friendly, and also very large) dog was as welcomed as we were. Suffice it to say he was properly spoiled with tons of peanut butter treats made by the hotel's baking staff. We definitely plan to return to The Little Nell! Can't recommend enough. read more

I've been to the Little Nell before and have always enjoyed my time there. I went into the lobby to sit by the fire and have a nice tea and do a little work. I sat there and sat there and sat there and no one ever approached me to ask if there was anything that I needed. I was waiting for nearly an hour. Quite some time later a couple came up and sat at the table next to me and the Little Nell staff came out and brought them a dessert or something. I thought for sure they would come over and asked me what I needed but no one ever did. I packed up my things and left. I'll be going over to the Saint Regis the next time. read more

wow.. five star hotel with one star service . i stopped in for a drink after dinner. the lounge and bar were half full . I was given a water and then ignored . four other groups came in after me and they got served . No one ever came back after 15 mins. I left . Earlier this summer we were hosting a lunch and had good service but the Cobb salads came with only lettuce which we pointed out and it was fixed. what happened to the Nell. . It used to be a great place . Its off my list and should be off yours . Aspen has many more places with better service and food. read more

Art shopping is just steps away from the entrance, and you have to go to the John Denver Sanctuary and walk by the river on the Rio Grande Trail. Just an awesome long weekend, and the mountain and lift are a few feet ahead. Get Mountain Side room, sit on the balcony and enjoy the bright blue sky and the reflection from the snow! read more

Let me start off by admitting that I am a princess. An only child with parents that still call me princess and now have been treated to a stay at the Little Nell Hotel in Aspen I know I'm a princess through and through. On a surprise Aspen weekend getaway I was blown away by the Little Nell Hotel. The customer service from beginning to end was above and beyond anything I have experienced. The suite was spectacular with more space than my first apartment and then some. The suite was beautifully furnished and was a little slice of home with a living room, dining room, extra-large bathroom and king sized bed. We loved the natural light coming from three sets of French doors leading to a wraparound patio with picturesque views of the mountains. There is complimentary transportation available which we took advantage of when going to dinner due to some rainy weather. The entire hotel is dog friendly and I guarantee you will see multiple happy tail wagging doggies around the hotel. We also enjoyed the dining offered at the Little Nell Hotel. Ajax offers top notch truffle fries and Element 47 has some outstanding desserts and a comfortable, relaxing atmosphere. If you're in Aspen, the Little Nell is the place to be. It has everything anyone would ever want, ski in, ski out, drinks overlooking the mountain, and a five star meal cozied up next to a fire place. A dream come true! The Little Nell is an Aspen mountain paradise and the place where I said "Yes". read more

*********************** 743 ************************** We literally came here every night, after Aspen Food & Wine Classic 30th day time events. I'm lucky to rub elbows with the right chefs/friends that I know for decade, they invited me here for the Grand Cochon event. I met so many chefs, so many sommeliers, so many people in the Food & Wine business, and meeting them all here, was part of it. Some of us stayed at this hotel, and some of us stayed at the Ritz-Carlton Club. The Little Nell Hotel is in the heart of Aspen, walking to everything. Great restaurant, awesome wine list, wonderful service. Although the noise at night can be tricky. Little Nell Hotel reminded me of the marriage of Montage Beverly Hills and the Mondrian Hotel WeHo. Classy, classic, and fantastic wine list. Bottles and bottles were open, when I see the top sommeliers and wine importers here, I feel so blessed as it was meant to be. I meant to be here, this is where I belong. The whole Aspen Food & Wine Classic was amazing, but being here with this many wines, by the industry only, made it all special. The service was great, even though the whole first floor of the Little Nell Hotel was jam packed. Somehow everyone seemed to have a fantastic time. I mean what not to like, any bottle we ordered was great, service was smooth, the ambiance is fab, and good vibe all around. This is 1 of the reasons why I'm determined to become a sommelier, definitively after this trip, at this very hotel. Thanks to all my friends that made me goal seem closer than it ever was! P.S. I will come back here anytime. read more

Our room was larger than I expected - plenty of space for all the layers of clothing we brought for the varied temperatures. Great bathroom in the room, huge shower and nice toiletries. We ate breakfast at the hotel and eating on the outdoor patio was great - the breakfast was delicious. Overall, would definitely stay here on our next trip to Aspen. read more
