I visited last December with my dad for an early season ski trip. We heard AMAZING things about the Little Nell from friends, so we were excited to book our stay here. It was our first time skiing Aspen (we usually ski in Deer Valley or Europe) so we wanted to try out both the Little Nell and Hotel Jerome as we heard those were the two best. We found it a bit underwhelming and disappointing, especially relative to our stay at Hotel Jerome. ||Service|We heard that the service here was outstanding, we found it very cold and at times unprofessional. Our breakfast server was quite rude. The concierge was not the most helpful with making dinner reservations. Overall it was fine, but certainly no standout service except at the ski room! The ski room had excellent service and were very friendly. ||Room|It felt very outdated and not cohesive. The barn sliding doors are quite bizarre. The balcony was small. The bed was very comfortable though which is critical after a day of skiing. ||Food|Nothing memorable, but the food was fine. Breakfast was good each morning - there could be a few more options. ||Overall, by no means is the Little Nell a bad hotel. In our experience, it was not as special as we had heard, so we were quite disappointed with our stay and wouldn’t be our first choice to book again in Aspen. By contrast, we really loved Hotel Jerome and found the service to be much superior.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Little Nell, and I can confidently say that it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism that set the tone for a remarkable stay. The attention to detail throughout the property is truly remarkable. The luxurious accommodations were not only aesthetically pleasing but also incredibly comfortable, making me feel right at home. The breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains from my room were simply unparalleled, creating a serene and picturesque backdrop for my entire stay. One of the standout aspects of The Little Nell is the exceptional dining experience. Every meal I enjoyed at the on-site restaurant was a culinary masterpiece. The variety of dishes offered showcased the expertise of the chefs, and the attentive staff made dining here a delightful experience every time. The staff's dedication to guest satisfaction is truly commendable. They were always ready to assist with a genuine smile, offering insightful recommendations for local attractions and activities. Whether it was arranging transportation or suggesting hiking trails, their knowledge of the area was invaluable in enhancing my overall stay. The spa and wellness facilities provided a perfect way to unwind after a day of exploration. The serene atmosphere and skilled therapists made for a rejuvenating spa experience that left me feeling relaxed and pampered. Location-wise, The Little Nell couldn't be better situated. Its proximity to both the slopes for winter adventures and the vibrant town center for shopping and dining makes it an ideal choice for both outdoor enthusiasts and those looking to explore Aspen's cultural offerings. In conclusion, my stay at The Little Nell was an unforgettable experience. The combination of luxurious accommodations, outstanding dining, impeccable service, and stunning surroundings make it a true gem in Aspen. I wholeheartedly recommend The Little Nell to anyone seeking an exceptional and indulgent getaway. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to this remarkable establishment.
