The Spa at The Little Nell

The Spa at The Little Nell sits inside Aspen's Little Nell hotel and is described as the only ski-in/ski-out spa in the region. It's built around three treatment suites, each with its own changing room and steam shower; two of the suites also have a hybrid infrared/halo-therapy sauna and resting area, and there's a separate departure suite with a guest changing area for before or after a treatment.

The menu runs to 15 treatments organized around a few themes tied to life at altitude: facials and skin work, recovery for sore muscles after a day on the mountain, remedies aimed at the physical effects of high elevation, and more general relaxation bodywork. The signature offering is The Ultimate, a 90-minute facial that uses multiple devices tailored to the skin's needs. Other standouts include the Hollywood EGF Facial, done with a micro-needling system associated with facialist Georgia Louise, and recovery-focused treatments like the Mountain Metamorphosis Ritual, which pairs an infrared sauna session with deep tissue massage.

This is a hotel spa aimed at adults, including couples, and it falls at the top of the price scale. Reservations are required, made by phone or email rather than walk-in. It keeps fairly consistent daily hours, open later on weekends and Thursdays and Fridays, shorter on other weekdays. Brand partners on the product side include Georgia Louise, Seed to Skin Tuscany, and ISUN, a Colorado-made organic skincare line.
