The Residences at The Little Nell are the answer for a family that wants ski-in/ski-out space at the base of Aspen Mountain without squeezing into hotel rooms. They sit beside The Little Nell, Aspen's only Five-Star, Five-Diamond ski-in/ski-out hotel, and share its service while offering full two-, three- and four-bedroom residences with private kitchens, laundry and multiple living areas. The location is the prize: the Silver Queen Gondola up Aspen Mountain, also known as Ajax, is right outside, so ski days start at the door. Guests use The Little Nell's ski concierge and kids' programming, and the hotel's restaurants, Element 47 and Ajax Tavern, are next door. The honest trade-off is that these are large, full-residence units that book by the week in winter and carry Little Nell prices, so they suit groups and families far more than a short couple's stay.
A four-bedroom penthouse with a private terrace for the largest groups, or a two-bedroom residence for a standard family.
Lean on The Little Nell's ski concierge and Adventure programming next door, included for residence guests. The in-residence kitchen and laundry are what make a week with children manageable, and the Silver Queen Gondola is steps away.
The Residences at The Little Nell sits within our broader Top 20 Hotels in Aspen for a Family Holiday list. It scored an aggregate 9.8/10 across the three editorial criteria, competitive against the field but, on a family holiday-specific factors, the angle above is what earned its rank. For the alternatives in the same Aspen neighbourhood, see Aspen Mountain base (next to The Little Nell) and adjacent. For a different city entirely, see the related lists below.
With dates settled, the booking window that works is about twelve weeks ahead. Expect the best-positioned suites to go early; in the busy season the lead time is months, not weeks. Suites with a private plunge pool or terrace, the very rooms behind this rank, usually vanish first.
