THE BEST OF ASPEN
With four majestic peaks and an abundance of opulent hotels, restaurants, and bars, the picturesque Colorado ski town attracts the world’s most luxurious people
Aspen has come a long way since its origins as a silver boomtown in the late 19th century. Although the three-and-a-half-square-mile city has a year-round population of less than 7,000 residents, that number balloons to over 25,000 during the high season, from December to March, when it becomes a playground for the ultra-wealthy and the celebrity set. Home to four mountains for skiing and snowboarding— Aspen (or Ajax), Aspen Highlands, Buttermilk, and Snowmass—each with its own unique terrain, Aspen is perhaps best known for its luxurious amenities and après-ski options.
The Little Nell is Aspen’s sole hotel to attain the coveted AAA Five Diamond award. Executive chef Matt Zurod oversees the property’s two restaurants, and the top-tier beverage program has won ’s Grand Award every year since 1997. Guest rooms average 600 square feet, while suites feature Holly Hunt custom furnishings and fireplaces. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the elegant Hotel Jerome sits at the foot of Aspen Mountain. Back
