The Little Nell

Aspen’s only five-star ski-in, ski-out-hotel sits at the base of Aspen Mountain, but is also in the heart of downtown. The decor is stylish and contemporary – you won’t find any tweed or antlers on the wall here. After a day on the slopes (the Ski Concierge will warm your boots before you head out), head to The Wine Bar, formerly Chair 9, which does weekly wine tastings and serves a hearty fondue. Ajax Tavern is popular with the après-ski crowd and, with its indoor and outdoor seating, is the perfect place to people-watch.
