The Little Nell

The Little Nell sits at 675 E Durant Ave. It is a five-minute walk from the Hyman Avenue Mall and The Wheeler Opera House.

This hotel feels more like a private club than its neighbours, especially on nights when the queue for Belly Up Aspen spills onto the pavement just ten minutes away. While other stays in town focus on the sprawl, this address relies on proximity to the theatre district to justify the shuffle between dinner and a show. The room runs dressier than the mountain-town standard, and the onsite bar draws a crowd that prefers its cocktails with a bit of formality. If you are looking for a base that keeps you within a few blocks of the local landmarks, this is the one to pick.
