Situated on the Aspen Mountain side is the world famous Little Nell Hotel and Resort. For years this famous spot has been made popular by the likes of Donald Trump, movie stars and captains of industry. The location couldn't be better for the skier or the shopper. The lobby is comparably unimpressive for a hotel of this notoriety. The former Ritz Carlton, now the St. Regis up the street has much more grand stately public areas. The difference is that the Little Nell has it all together with the service, dining, amenities and location. The restaurant Montagna, is one of the few real five star dining establishments in Aspen and that's because of the combination of the Chef Ryan Hardy and Master Sommelier Richard Betts. Overlooking the courtyard and facing Aspen Mountain, Montagna is a well-known hot spot for locals. Offering Rocky Mountain Artisan and serving breakfast, lunch and dinner daily, the atmosphere is casual yet elegant. The talents Master Sommelier Richard Betts, who oversees a 15,000 bottle private wine cellar combine to create a very special meal. Montagna is the recipient of Wine Spectator's Grand Award and is available for private events.
